We’re Flamin’ Serious – ARE YOU?

BURGER KING® is seeking companies and/or individual
operators who are keen to open at least 4 restaurants.


About Us

Now, we're not sure if you know, but we've been doing this for a while, since 1957 in fact, so we're pretty confident, even if we do say so ourselves, that we've got the expertise to help you find the right site for the right price. Our design and construction teams will even pop along and make sure it looks great for your first day of trading.

Our 100% flame grilled, fully certified Aberdeen Angus Beef burger gives us a warm feeling inside. And we just love that. But what also gives us a warm feeling is that all our franchisees have drive, energy and passion. And we love that even more.


Who's Ideal for Us?


Have you got that special BURGER KING® ingredient?
 

 
  • BURGER KING® is seeking companies and/or individual operators who are keen to open at least 4 restaurants. The minimum equity investment for the first restaurant is £300,000, with the balance funded by a business loan.

  • Being a franchisee requires a lot of energy and commitment as our customers expect us to deliver exceptional value and service.

  • With our commitment and hands-on management technique, you'll be involved in the day-to-day running of your business, maximising the performance of your team.
  • You'll invest in high achievers, motivating them through performance management,
    training and development programmes and incentive schemes.

  • You and your team will take pride in the fact that you offer them and
    your customers a great BK™ experience through high standards in
    quality, service and cleanliness.

If you have the requisite determination and fire to make a business succeed, then the BURGER KING® fast food restaurant franchise wants to hear from you right now. It starts with the BURGER KING® brand, one of the strongest and most recognised in the world. It’s a brand that celebrates individuality and choice, so much so that ‘Have It Your Way’ isn’t just a slogan, it’s part of the company’s heritage, and it drives its culture. BURGER KING® is fuelled by a fire within, just like the grills that set it apart from the competition.

Nothing is more important to BURGER KING® than working with accomplished individuals who are also fuelled by a fire within.
