In September 2022, Burger King owner Restaurant Brands International announced the chain’s $400 million Reclaim the Flame plan. Now the No. 3 burger chain behind McDonald’s and Wendy’s, Burger King is pouring $150 million into advertising and digital investments to “Fuel the Flame” and $250 million toward a “Royal Reset” involving restaurant technology, equipment and remodels, and relocations. In connection with the big revamp, the company also hired two former Domino’s executives: Tom Curtis, Burger King U.S. president, and Patrick Doyle, executive chair of RBI. Wendy’s snatched the No. 2 spot from the chain in 2021 after years of declining sales due to complex menu items, outdated restaurants and slow operations. BK profits fell about 20% from 2019 through 2022. It remains to be seen if the overhaul will be enough to put the mother of the Whopper back into the burger supremacy race.

I think BKs problems are mostly with their franchisees. Most BKs are poorly run, dirty, under staffed. Their food is ok with the expectation that they're fast food, but the restaurant experience is underwhelming.

@davewilson7602 11 месяцев назад

Yeah also they don’t have a niche. They used to be the discount one, but now Wendy’s has taken a lot of that market with 4 for 4/biggie bag deals. If you want consistency and app integration McDonald’s is better If you want quality there’s almost any other place is better than BK.

@rogerlongfall 11 месяцев назад

I have to agree! There are so many I have walked into, that smelled like they have sewer grease problem. The other is once you take a flame broiled burger and put it in a steam table for holding, along with a bun, it becomes a soggy tasteless mess. I use to love BK as a kid, with the messaging "HAVE IT YOUR WAY"! Freshness was key as well. Today it is no longer that way.

@Oldbmwr100rs 11 месяцев назад

Fast food in general has gotten too overpriced, but BK's big issue is not directing their franchise owners to run their places better. Our town's stores are kind of dirty and understaffed. I've been told the franchise owner refuses to pay what other places are, so simply can't get people to stay. So service is often slow, and often it's only the drive throughs running. Also, the menu is endlessly changing, and the marketing trick I personally hate, not showing prices, also turns me away. Corporate needs to assess their franchisees in order to improve the places they have, simply closing poor performers won't improve anything.

When I was a kid in the 80's you could smell the burgers as you road past BK because they were cooked on a literal grill. The "Whopper" was the best burger hands down, but they got away from their roots with ownership passing through so many hands. If they ever returned to their roots, revamp their locations and properly staff their locations I believe they'd rise again.

BK was my favorite when in 1970 because of the Whopper as it was then. Since then, the Whopper changed and I stopped going to BK. The last one I had, that was 5 years ago, was small and dry and tasteless except for the condiments. If they get the Whopper back to what it was fifty years ago, I'd go back. I remain skeptical.

@thakers123 10 месяцев назад

As someone who is a franchisee (not BK) I personally think a lot of these issues stem from the former CEO who did the heavy disocunting which cut franchisee profits. If you are not making money then you cannot afford to invest into your restaurant or hire more staff. Also during the period of heavy discounting food cost increased rapidly due to new suppliers to be inline with RBI's suppliers. Then BK was sold to RBI. They made no investment into the brand, they did not support franchisees but instead increased costs and fees. Thus leaving even less profit for franchsees.

@efflux 4 месяца назад

Interesting, that makes total sense. The plan/investment outlined in this video isn't going to work either. They can clean up a small percentage of their stores, and sink 150 million into marketing gimmicks and tech, but the underlying problem is still there... lack of quality food for a reasonable price. Cheaper doesn't always mean better, but who knows what they're going to come up with.

The thing that made Burger King iconic was the fact that they grilled their burgers on an actual grill. The smell of that is amazing from experience. But after so much corporate handover and turmoil, the brand is faded and has become synonymous with being a second-rate chain. Maybe they can reclaim what was lost. Only time will tell.

The problem with most fast food restaurants, is that pricing has doubled in the past 10 years while portions have gotten smaller.

It's interesting to hear about the Burger King experience in the US vs in other countries. Here in South Africa for example, the customer service at Burger King is quite good. The staff are friendly and attentive. On one occasion there was a mistake with my order in store. When I raised it, the staff member who made the mistake came out and gave me a free portion of fries to make up for it. In contrast at McDonalds, while far more popular than BK in South Africa, the service is poor. I went there once on a Friday night and they couldn't take any orders with the computer because the "system was broken". I ended up waiting almost an hour. Not to mention one time the tomatoes in my chicken foldover were green. BK is still my favourite, and they're cheaper than McDonald's too.

@snoopaka 11 месяцев назад

The secret to their success will be to improve the quality and taste of the whopper. right now the whopper taste like some thing that was partially grilled over some kind of a flame and then microwaved for service. It is really flavorless. I first started going to Burger King in the mid-1960s. When you came in the restaurant then, there was a big broiler, running down the middle of the restaurant. You came in and placed your order, and someone took a fresh patty and put it on the grill, and it made its way across the length of the broiler. wow that was going on. Somebody was putting the toppings on your bun. By the time the burger made it through the broiler all they had to do was take the Patti out put it on your bun and wrap it up. It was extremely hot and fresh, and actually tasted like a flame grilled burger. It was outstanding and I ate there a ton. I was in high school then and drop by whenever I had an opportunity. What they’re serving today taste nothing like I remember that burger tasting. I just can’t get the feeling that the meat has been pre-cooked somewhere and then just heated for service. I wish them luck because I have I have always liked a good flame grilled burger. That’s the main thing they need to concentrate on and not all the advertising and re-branding. They need to figure out a way to get back to the actual flame. Grilled hot off the grill burger. Good luck to Burger King. There is one about a half a mile from my house and I don’t ever eat there because the product is just not any good.

The problem with BK wasn't the food, well it was the food when it made improperly, but the real problem was the franchising. The franchise's did not adhere to the policies of corporate when it came to maintenance and staffing. I live in a affluent community and our nearest BK, a franchise, closed it doors years ago. When you went it, you had Bebe's kids working, screaming and carrying on behind the counter. The store was dirty the windows were dirty and as others have mentioned, the burgers were microwaved, even though the "flame broiler" was perfectly functional. Just recently I found a location that was corporately owned and it was a STARK difference. The staff was friendly, the store was clean and the food was proper. The fries were hot and fresh and the burgers had obviously just been run through the broilers.

I threw out the sandwich after one bite, and I'll never go back to a BK again. I can't even sufficiently describe the terrible experience and how unwanted they made me feel, not to mention the spoiled inedible food. They got my eleven bucks, congratulations BK. Disgusting.

Prices have increased and portions have grown much smaller. A tender meal is nearly $15 without a drink and the tenders are the size of a finger. The classic chicken is now 90% breading with very little meat. All while spending $40 to $50 for a family meal.

RBI/Tim Hortons is the WRONG Parent Company for BK. For MANY Years up until I was in first grade, Burger King was parent owned by Pillsbury. Pillsbury sold them to Guinness/Heineken in October 1988 because McDonalds kept intentionally SABOTAGING its competitors by ZONING Neighborhoods. Back when I worked at BK in 1999, Guinness/Heineken made sure BK still tasted great. BK got sold to Tim Hortons because Guinness had sold Burger King to a Private Equity Firm in 2002, Hortons brought that firm in 2005 which also owned Popeyes(AFC Sold Popeyes in 2004).

A drive thru that once your in, you can't leave. I have literally sat once for 30 minutes in line; no way to get out. Started going inside and the skeleton crew staff didn't even speak English. Somehow wanted to charge almost $15 for a whopper meal even though its advertised around $9.50. The other one...total opposite. Fresh made food, clean restaurant, just a much better experience. BK also needs to come up with something new from time to time. Adding BBQ sauce or Bacon to a whopper and calling it "new" is not innovative.

Their food is fairly consistent and only the amount sauce added to a sandwich varies. Taste is pretty much the same everywhere and you can ask for something fresh or "OB" might be the professional term when you want it fresh and tasty. Now as for customer service I really don't know what region your from but BK has better customer service in most places I visited than McDonald's, Wendy's, white castle and many others.

The only time was when another customer took my order, which isn't on them Burger King is hit-or-miss, but luckily, it's location-dependent. There's good BKs and bad ones. This means if you go to a Burger King and everything was good, if you go there next week, you can expect good quality. The one here is overall good.

I applied at Burger King in Campbell, CA as soon as I turned 16 years of age back in 2000. One of the best methods to make any good burgers at Burger King was “off the broiler” meaning they will cook the meat patties when you make your order instead of using ones already been cooked in the meat warmer. It takes a bit longer for your order to finish, but trust me, the burger will taste much better. Of course this was 23 years ago, not sure about today. One of the things I hated about working there was the cheapskate manager. He always made us asked “how many ketchup would you like?” Every time a customer asked for ketchup. You had to give exact amount the customer requested. When he was not around, I just grabbed a hand full and dropped them off in the bag or on the tray when got asked for ketchup. Dude, ain’t nobody got time to count each one.

I grew up eating whoppers and during that time the food was great. The burgers were "flame broiled" and fresh off the grill and the meat actually tasted good and like "meat". Today when you walk into a store you go to the counter and "may" get waited on in the next 3-4 minutes unless the employees are having conversations between themselves or on cell phones. There is no care in making the whoppers and its like they throw them together without any real care. I always ask for a burger fresh off the grill and have had strange looks from the counter person. Look in the video at around the 6:33 point and you see a burger being "warmed" which would indicate it was not hot and fresh off the grill when being made ?? That fact plus the crazy cost of a single whopper has made me go to other places who do have "fresh made burgers" such as Culvers. It's sad Burger King has fallen so far down in quality.

The reason I don't go to Burger King is simple: they never open their damn lobby! When COVID happened, every fast food place locked their doors and forced customers to the drive thru. No longer could you go in, use the bathroom, stretch your legs, etc. Since the pandemic ended, many places reopened their doors, but places like Burger King, Wendy's, and Carl's Jr are extremely inconsistent. You'll go one day and the doors are open, then the next day and it's drive-thru only. And they never put up a sign saying the doors are locked, so you waste your time parking and getting out of the car. If I can't access your business on a reliable basis, I'm not showing up.
