Burger King

When we opened our phone line to Guests earlier this year, we heard one thing loud and clear: they want consistent, friendly and accurate service when they choose Burger King.  From that feedback, the Your Way Champion was born. The Your Way Champion is a reimagined restaurant leadership role where managers serve as the dedicated point person for the Guest experience – welcoming them in, owning the details, and empowering their teams to deliver great service every single day. And, to back up our commitment to the Guest experience, we're introducing the Whopper Guarantee. If a Whopper doesn't meet expectations, it gets remade on the spot, and the next one is free. Because Guests deserve nothing less. This is what it looks like when a brand truly listens and acts on what it hears. We’re excited for our Guests to continue experiencing the elevated experience at Burger King – this is just the start. 👑 

It’s an exciting time to be a Burger King Franchisee – just ask Thomas Crowson, Todd Jackson and Colby Kaminer of CKJ Management, who recently acquired 20 restaurants in Florida. After years of building successful businesses in the fast-casual space, they saw an opportunity to bring their operational expertise to Burger King and help drive the next chapter of growth in their market. Since taking over the restaurants, Thomas, Todd and Colby have focused on stabilizing operations, strengthening team culture, and delivering a more consistent Guest experience. Their hands-on approach is already helping position the portfolio for long-term success. For CKJ Management, the most rewarding part of the journey has been seeing progress take shape across their restaurants and teams. Join us in celebrating the story of these incredible BK Franchisees and the impact they’re making in Florida. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eT5d6Ybn

When you’re transforming an iconic brand, progress is earned over time. Over the past several years, Burger King has been on a journey to strengthen every part of the system, from restaurant modernization and operational improvements, to investing in our menu and our teams, and strengthening the Franchisee relationship - all in service of a great Guest experience. It's work that takes time, commitment and the dedication of thousands across our system. Now, that progress is showing. Four straight years outperforming the QSR burger category. Fifty-eight percent of our U.S. restaurants have been modernized. Franchisee profitability has more than doubled. And most importantly, millions of guests are finding their way back, and we're building a brand worthy of their return. That's Reclaim the Flame. 👑 We're proud to see this journey featured on the cover of QSR Magazine, with insights from Patrick Doyle , Josh Kobza, Tom Curtis,and Joel Yashinsky on the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. Thank you to our Franchisees, restaurant teams and support center employees who are bringing this transformation to life every day. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eyCBb-EY

Behind every great menu innovation at Burger King is a talented team of culinary experts, and recently their work earned industry recognition when our corporate culinary leaders took the stage at the NRN Show to accept the Menu Masters Award for Best New Menu Item for the BBQ Brisket Whopper. 🔥🍔 Creating an award-winning flavor profile is no small feat. But what makes this achievement even more impressive is the ability to bring that culinary vision to life across more than 6,700 restaurants and serve millions of Guests with consistency and quality. This recognition reflects the creativity and dedication of our culinary team, as well as the operations and restaurant teams who execute with excellence every day. Together, they help transform great ideas into great Guest experiences across the country. Congratulations to everyone who helped bring the BBQ Brisket Whopper to life and earn this recognition.

Last week, we welcomed 30 interns to our Miami headquarters as they kicked off their 10-week summer internship program! 👑 Among this talented group are six Operations Interns who will spend the summer immersed in the Burger King business, tackling strategic projects designed to strengthen restaurant operations and elevate the way we serve our Guests. To kick off the program, the interns heard directly from Burger King President Tom Curtis about the Reclaim the Flame plan that’s driving our transformation. Now, it’s time to roll up their sleeves. Throughout the summer, these interns will spend two days each week working side-by-side with our restaurant teams, gaining firsthand experience where it matters most. From supporting day-to-day operations to partnering on projects hand-selected by our leaders, they'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the Guest experience and the future of our business.

The results are in: listening is our secret sauce.  This morning, we shared our Q1 ‘26 results, and the numbers tell a story we’re incredibly proud of – 5.8% growth in U.S. sales, outperforming our burger peers by 5 points. This quarter didn't happen overnight. It's the result of four years of unglamorous, foundational work – better restaurants, better operators, and a relentless focus on the Guest experience.  That foundation is what allowed us to turn our attention to our food, which started with elevating the Whopper for the first time in ten years. When we did, we reminded Americans that we have the best burger in QSR, and friendly, engaged Team Members ready to serve it, leading to its highest sales in years.  We're proud of this moment, but we also know there’s a lot more to come on the journey. There's more menu elevation coming. More investment in our restaurants. More listening to the Guests who make all of this possible. To the BK Guests – thank you for keeping us hungry. To our BK teams – let’s keep bringing the heat.

This collaboration was made possible by the incredible enthusiasm of our teams and Franchisees. Whether it’s Guests of all ages joyfully unwrapping their meals, or our Team Members fully leaning into the experience to deliver high-quality service, every detail reflects the creativity and teamwork that went into making this menu a reality. All that’s left now? For Guests to experience the mission for themselves at restaurants across the world and see Star Wars: #TheMandalorianAndGrogu in theaters May 22!
