If you order at the counter and pay before eating, a restaurant can deny cash. If you sit down and eat all the food, then they bring you the check, they must accept cash (because now you owe a "debt").

But if the restaurant states that they don't accept cash, then you agreed to those terms.

The whole point of legal tender is that it overrides any terms you may have agreed to beforehand.

That's not accurate. It's merely establishing the default behavior.
