Client: Burger King
Burger King, one of the largest and most recognized fast food chains in the world, operates a vast network of over 1,000 restaurants, including both company-owned and franchised locations. Known for its innovative approach to food and service, the client has a continuous focus on operational efficiency and customer experience. The client sought to enhance its in-house delivery operations and reduce reliance on expensive third-party delivery aggregators.
About the Client
The client approached us with the goal of creating a custom courier app to streamline and improve delivery operations. The app needed to support both the company-owned and franchised locations, integrate with existing HR and reference systems, and manage over 5,000 couriers handling more than 20,000 orders per week. A key part of the project was the integration with external delivery systems and reducing dependency on third-party services.
