BurgerFi was founded in 2011 by gourmet chefs committed to serving only the top 1% of best-tasting American Black Angus beef from the top ranches across the country. Known for delivering the all-natural burger experience in a fast-casual environment, we are committed to an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience that ensures no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones, chemicals or additives are ever used.
With over 100 locations, the BurgerFi franchise system has been carefully developed to create consistency in design, operations, and the overall customer experience. Our significant resources (in both people and cutting-edge technology) equip our franchisees with the tools that they need to achieve success.
BurgerFi was awarded the #4 spot on Fast Casual’s 2017 Top 100 Movers & Shakers list; and ranked as one of fastest and smartest-growing brands in franchising, and a leader in the better burger category by Franchise Times in their 2017 and 2018 Fast and Serious list.
