Globally famous quick service restaurant chain Burger King operated and franchised a total of 19,789 restaurants worldwide in 2022. The vast majority of these, 19,739, were franchised. Only 50 units remain company-operated as more and more were replaced with franchised stores over the past ten years.
Growth of Burger King
Even though Burger King has reduced its number of company-operated restaurants, the overall number of locations has steadily increased since 2009. The worldwide expansion of the Florida-based company has contributed to it being amongst the most valuable quick service brands in the world with a brand value of over six billion U.S. dollars in 2021. In accordance with growing numbers of locations, the revenue of Burger King has also seen growth in the past 4 years, after gradually diminishing in the years before that. However, due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the restaurant chain's operations, Burger King's revenue declined in 2020 compared to the previous year.
Satisfaction remains unchanged
Despite the increase in locations and fluctuations in revenue, Burger King’s score on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) remained relatively consistent since 2018. The restaurant chain scored 75 points out of a possible 100 points in 2022, in overall customer satisfaction. This score fell by one point when compared to the previous year.
