Introduction
Burger King is one of the most iconic fast food chains in the world, and it is about to undergo some major changes. The company has announced that it will be making some significant changes to its menu, its branding, and its overall customer experience. These changes are intended to make Burger King more competitive in the fast food market and to better meet the needs of its customers. In this article, we will take a look at what these changes are and how they will affect Burger King’s customers.
Burger King Is About to Undergo Major Changes
Burger King is about to undergo some major changes. The fast-food chain is planning to revamp its menu, add new items, and make some changes to its restaurants. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming changes.
New Menu Items
Burger King is adding several new menu items to its lineup. These include a new plant-based burger, a vegan breakfast sandwich, and a new chicken sandwich. The chain is also introducing a new line of salads and sides, as well as a new line of desserts.
Restaurant Changes
Burger King is also making changes to its restaurants. The chain is introducing new technology, such as self-ordering kiosks and digital menu boards. The restaurants will also be redesigned to create a more modern look and feel.
Conclusion
Burger King is making some major changes to its menu and restaurants. The new items and changes should make the chain more appealing to customers and help it compete with other fast-food chains. It remains to be seen how successful these changes will be, but it’s clear that Burger King is looking to the future.
If you were a national fast-food chain that perpetually lags behind its competitors for one reason or another (if it isn’t the food, then it’s the cool factor), how far would you go to turn things around?
Burger King is going as far as a $400 million investment to try and remedy its brand optics. One of America’s largest burger chains just announced that the major investment will be used to accelerate its sales growth and make its products more “premium,” according to a press release.
Dubbed the “Reclaim the Flame” campaign, the plan will be a two-pronged approach, with $150 million invested in advertising and digital components of the business and $250 million in restaurant technology, kitchen equipment, building enhancements and high-quality remodels and relocations, over the course of two years.
Here are some of the biggest changes customers can expect to see.
Just as McDonald’s continually manages to strike a chord with new generations of consumers, Burger King plans on doing the same.
The chain said it will be “refreshing” and “modernizing” its brand and bringing meaning and relevance to its core concepts like “flame grilling,” as well as its vintage slogan “Have It Your Way” which dates back to the 1970s and emphasizes individuality and self-expression.

As previously announced, Burger King plans on treating its iconic Whopper like it’s a big deal—because it is.
The flame-grilled burger will be getting a premium makeover (it has already been taken off the value menu) with new flavor extensions and an improved execution across all of the chain’s kitchens. It sounds like customers can look forward to the Whopper being more consistent and better quality.
Burger King recently replaced its Ch’King with the new Royal line of chicken sandwiches, signaling a new approach to its menu, one that shows no mercy for underperforming items, no matter how recently they were launched.
According to the parent company, the Royal Crispy Chicken sandwiches are simpler to make, which improves the guest experience. And they’re just the beginning, as BK plans on becoming a chicken destination.
The chain plans on increasing its annual advertising budget by 30% in the next two years, which means you can expect to see a more concerted effort to reach customers and showcase all the guest experience improvements.
Burger King’s restaurants are about to get a makeover. The chain will co-invest with its franchisees in restaurant technology, kitchen equipment, and building enhancements at thousands of its locations.
