Why burgers are a true money maker for your business too

Research shows that 81%* of restaurant guests order a burger if it’s on the menu. The more choice you offer, the more guests are likely to opt for a burger menu. Another reason to promote burgers: profitability. Did you know that a burger menu generates a 70% gross margin? One important factor to achieve this excellent result is choosing the right buns to offer a burger selection that appeals to more guests.
