Burger King

Meet the women bringing the heat to the Home of the Whopper. 👑 The incredible culinary leaders behind some of the most iconic Burger King menu items were recently highlighted in QSR, and we couldn’t be more proud of the work these women do to bring delicious, crave-worthy flavors to BK restaurants across the country. From the boardrooms to the kitchens, these leaders are the architects of our brand’s culinary turnaround. Transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when Guests have a seat at the table and the brand has the best talent in the industry to bring it to life. Check out the full story on how these leaders are shaping the future of BK: https://lnkd.in/gqNuZtAB

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.  

Starting today (May the Fourth), Burger King is traveling to a galaxy far, far away to bring a new, limited-time menu to life in celebration of the upcoming theatrical release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu! 🌠 No one does collaborations quite like BK – from themed meals including four new menu items, to custom Mandalorian and Grogu-inspired packaging, toys and collectible cups, the goal of this collaboration is to transform our restaurants into a space where parents and kids alike can share a little bit of the Star Wars universe at Burger King restaurants. 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!  

It’s an exciting time to be a Burger King Franchisee – just ask Jeremy Kline, who left his job as a leader on the BK Corporate team to take on 16 restaurants in the Salt Lake City area. After 6+ years on the corporate side working with Franchisees, Jeremy is now taking a hands-on approach to his next chapter with a clear mission: to revitalize the acquired locations through operational excellence, modernized remodels, and a deep investment in the local workforce.     For Jeremy, this journey is personal. He started his career in quick-service restaurants at age 15, and after 30 years in the industry, he’s where he loves to be – in the restaurants daily, focused on rebuilding teams and strengthening the Guest experience.     Join us in welcoming Jeremy to the franchise community and celebrating the impact he’s already making in Utah, and read more about his story here: https://lnkd.in/gXZ5uWua

At Burger King, we know that a "village" is only as strong as the people in it, and our village, the Burger King corporate team, just raised $95K during this year’s Burger King Foundation Employee Giving Campaign! 👑 This reflects our team’s passion for the incredible work of the Foundation, and the Burger King brand’s commitment to supporting scholarships, literacy, and emergency relief for those who need it most. When our teams lead with compassion, the impact is nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you to everyone who stepped up, donated, and proved that the Home of the Whopper is also a home for generosity.  The giving doesn’t stop here. National Volunteer Week kicks off on April 20, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going. Let’s keep making a difference together!  If you’re interested in donating to the Burger King Foundation: https://lnkd.in/eYrHQSEY.

Last night, we unveiled a new era at Burger King. The new campaign is a look at where we’ve been throughout our 70+ year history, the foundational work we’ve been doing over the past five years to get to where we are today, and an inspiring look at where we’re going next. And most importantly, we officially handed the crown to the people who make our brand everything that it is today – our Guests.  Our new message says it simply: “There’s a new King and it’s you.” In the ad, we even “fire” the King, a symbolic shift that puts the spotlight on our Guests where it belongs. Because their feedback, their cravings, and their expectations are shaping what comes next. This is about building a better Burger King, one that’s more responsive, more relevant, and more Guest-led than ever. And we’re just getting started:

It’s been just over a week since we elevated the Whopper, and the response has been incredible.    The feedback from Guests has been energizing, positive, and a powerful reminder of why this sandwich remains iconic.    We sent our president Tom Curtis into the test kitchen with Chef Amy Alarcon to get an inside look at what’s behind the elevated build, and he can confirm the Whopper is absolutely worth every BIG bite. Check it out below: 

The Whopper just got elevated. 🔥   For the first time in nearly 10 years, we've enhanced our most iconic sandwich, and we have our Guests to thank for it.   A more premium bun, a richer tasting mayo, and a new box to make sure it arrives exactly the way it left the kitchen - for the perfect bite, every time.   All stacked with the same freshly cut onions and tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tangy pickles you know and love plus more than a quarter-pound of 100% flame-grilled beef that have made the Whopper a legend since 1954.   "The Whopper is an icon, so we didn't set out to reinvent it. Instead, we elevated it based on direct Guest feedback.” - Tom Curtis, President of Burger King U.S. & Canada   This is what happens when you listen.
