Section I – Background Information

11 Things You Need to Know About the BGR – Burgers Grilled Right Franchise

Parent Company Announces All Its Burger Brands Will Be Serving Beyond Meat

1.  At the end of June 2019, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. announced that Beyond Meat burgers will be available starting July 1 at its multiple better burger brands’ locations, offering consumers a 100 percent plant-based Beyond Burger patty. Participating brands include BGR – Burgers Grilled Right, Little Big Burger, and American Burger Co.

America's Most Lucrative Franchises of the Year

2.  Each brand has designed its own unique burger build using fresh local ingredients. The Beyond Burger patty is free from GMOs, gluten, and soy and has lower saturated fat than regular beef, but still delivers flame-broiled flavor and 20g of plant-based protein.

3.  Fred Glick, president of Chanticleer Holdings, stated, “With roughly one-third of consumers identifying as flexitarians, we’re excited to now officially have our menus offer consumers burgers which provide a plant-based alternative to our current menu offerings. We also understand that consumers are more conscious than ever about making responsible food choices that are not only healthy, but that also take sustainability and ethical considerations into account. The desire for an alternative like this was one of the most repeated requests made by our own customers in our recently completed consumer study.”

4.  On a final note, Glick added, “With recent notable traffic increases cited by brands like Del Taco and Burger King who too have launched plant-based alternatives in their menus, we are cautiously optimistic we have the potential to see similar results as this new offering replaces our previous already popular veggie burger offerings.”

Parent Company Signs Exclusive Partnership Deal with DoorDash to Offer Delivery for All Its Brands

5.  In early April 2019, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., parent company of BGR – Burgers Grilled Right, announced that it had entered into an exclusive partnership with DoorDash to offer delivery services across all of the company’s brands.

6.  According to Fred Glick, president of Chanticleer Holdings, “We are pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive agreement with DoorDash. This partnership is expected to help minimize costs associated with delivery while creating an entirely new revenue vertical for our brands. I personally view this initiative as an extension of our internal marketing efforts that will allow new guests to try our products through their platform. It will be our focus to transfer those guests to our own loyalty platform to maintain our critical consumer information and further reduce our expenses to deliver our product.”

7.  Glick continued, “Delivery is just one component of our strategy as we get closer to launching loyalty and multi-channel, personalized marketing for our customers later this year. We will add new mobile applications featuring rewards, VIP tiers, and in-app ordering. This all-in-one customer engagement platform will help us leap forward with targeted email marketing and integrated customer feedback tools without buying and implementing multiple different technologies.”

Company History

8.  BGR The Burger Joint, now BGR – Burgers Grilled Right, was founded in 2008 by Mark Bucher in Bethesda, Maryland. Bucher wanted BGR to sell elevated burgers in a casual dining setting. To make the best burger possible, Bucher worked with Danny Alahouzos, co-owner of Prime Foods in Hyattsville.

9.  Initially, the BGR burger was made with prime cuts of brisket, short ribs, and sirloin sourced from grass-fed, grain-finished Pennsylvania cattle. While these burgers were a hit with customers, they became too expensive to make as BGR grew. Eventually, BGR stopped working with Prime Foods and turned to a large beef-grinding facility in New York. Although BGR no longer uses ingredients that are quite as premium as when it first started, the brand still strives to produce high-quality burgers.

10.  Over the years, BGR has grown slowly and in 2015, Bucher sold the company to Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Hooters, Just Fresh, American Burger Co., and Little Big Burger. In recent years, Chanticleer Holdings has been re-branding BGR The Burger Joint as BGR – Burgers Grilled Right. All new BGR Restaurants will open under the name BGR – Burgers Grilled Right while existing BGR stores will be remodeled to reflect the new branding efforts.
