Burger King and Wendy’s are among the top fast food chains in America, but this fact doesn’t elude either chain from having their negative and positive features. Burger King is cheaper, and has a wider assortment of food than Wendy’s, which makes Burger King more desirable to many Americans. What Wendy’s lacks in diversity, and lower priced food when compared to Burger King becomes irrelevant due to the higher speed and superior quality food they offer. Both qualities of Wendy’s help to maintain equal competition between the two in the fast food market of America. There is waiting time when you make a trip to Burger King for food; however it is relatively shorter than that of most fast food establishments. If someone goes through the drive thru during a “lunch rush” they’ll most likely have to wait a maximum of ten minutes to be given their food. That wait time is cut in half if they decide to walk in and place an order. On the other hand, any order placed when there isn’t a “rush” occurring is only going to have to wait about four minutes for their food. Burger King is exceptionally consistent when it comes to efficiency at preparing customer’s food. The short waiting time is seems to be complimented when paired with the low pricing at Burger King. There is not a single item on Burger King’s menu that is priced over seven dollars. Furthermore, a majority of Burger King’s items are priced lower than five dollars. The value menu, aka King Deals, at burger king contains
After analyzing the data, I found Chick-Fil-A was the one with the most picks and Burger King had the least amount of picks. I believe Chick-Fil-A had the most picks because of their delicious Chicken Sandwiches and their Freshly Brewed Iced Tea Sweetened. When you go to Chick-Fil-A your food is made to order, you don’t have to wait to long in drive-thru, and the workers always have a positive attitude. Burger King food can sometimes be bland and over cooked. McDonald’s and Wendy were almost tied up, but McDonald’s came in second place . They sale mainly the same thing but Wendy’s food looks and taste better. Also, when you go to the other restaurant McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King you may have a longer wait time and your order may not
Wendy’s version of the Dollar menu is titled “Right Price, Right Size” menu. It has also introduced a feast after dark that is available after 10 p.m. This meal is made up of their Double Stack cheeseburger (pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard), an order of chili cheese fries and a 32 ounce drink for only $5.
An extremely colossal portion of citizens around our gracious Earth has heard of or visited a McDonald’s.

Cost is really one of the biggest differences between these two franchises. Aside from both places offering the dollar menu, their overall pricing on other items, is very different.

The way that Burger King and other fast food restaurant chains do business and markets their products to consumers is due to the change in our society to where the consumer wants the biggest, fastest, and best product they can get for their money. This change in society can be attributed to a process known as McDonaldization. Although McDonaldization can be applied to many other parts of our society, this paper will focus on its impact on Burger King and Taco Bell restaurants. My belief is that the process of McDonaldization has lead our generations toward a more a much more efficient lifestyle, with much less quality. From my observations and studies of these fast food resturants, several themes have become

However, one of Five Guys’ unique features compared to Burger King and McDonald’s is to only offer fresh, never frozen, eighty percent lean meat burgers that are made to order. Many of the traditional fast food burger restaurants, only offer frozen patties cooked in advanced, and stored under heated lamp until ordered by the customers.

According to recent surveys, the American people want quality fast food ("Report: Americans Want Better Quality Food”). The better the quality of food, the more customers a restaurant will get and Wendy’s is stepping up to the plate. From crisp salads to juicy burgers, Wendy’s is fulfilling this demand. In addition, the Los Lunas location is doing an excellent job in producing high quality food; the baked potatoes are large and tender, the frosty’s are uniform in their texture, and the burgers are rich with flavor. To further support this claim, here is a review from Trip Advisor,” This is fast food - no doubt about that, but it is not as greasy as McDonald's and the food is much fresher. Their hamburgers look and taste like hamburgers should -- not like greasy little patties that have been sitting under a heat lamp. Wendy's is great because it offers things on its menu that other fast food places don't -- like chili and baked potatoes…If you have to go the route of fast food, this chain is one of the better ones and the variety will please everyone in your family” (CleverCat). Overall, Wendy’s is measuring up the desire for high quality food at the fast-food

While McDonald’s and Burger King have fought over a percentage of the same market share, each company has a unique strategy with which they’ve approached the market. McDonald’s aims to deliver an inexpensive, standard, quality meal with high level of uniformity both in burger structure and in delivery times.
