One of the many great things about the burger business is the way it has innovated and found new niches and devotees over recent years. There are now abundant vegetarian and vegan options, create your own combination stations, and of course traditional “fast food” outlets serving delicious meat in a bun at just the right location and time to satisfy hunger. No wonder this highly versatile and handy meal option is so popular at events, in shopping centres and retail parks, and on every high street. By 2019, it's estimated that £3.3 billion will be spent on burgers each year in the UK.
Who wants a bite of that market?

UK consumers have brand loyalty and will actively seek out their favourite burger bars and restaurants. Competing as an independent restaurant is tough, especially without the lower-cost equipment and supplies franchisees enjoy.
