“In March our in-house design and tech team accelerated new restaurant design plans and pushed the limits of what a Burger King restaurant could be,” Josh Kobza, RBI’s chief operating officer, said in a statement. “We took into consideration how consumer behaviors are changing and our guests will want to interact with our restaurants. The result is a new design concept that is attractive to guests and will allow our franchisees to maximize their return.”

Added Rapha Abreu, global head of design at RBI: “The designs we’ve created completely integrate restaurant functionality and technology. The restaurant of the tomorrow merges the best functional technology with unique modern design to elevate our Burger King guest experience. We designed the interior and exterior spaces like we had a blank sheet of paper, designing without preconceived notions of how a Burger King restaurant should look.”

Burger King plans to build the first of these new looks 2021 in Miami, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

RBI’s real estate is shifting overall. The company noted in August that it would close “several hundred more restaurants than we might in a typical year” across its Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes footprints in 2020.

The company said it expected to end 2020 with a similar number of restaurants relative to where it closed 2019, which would be a big change for one of the sector’s biggest net-unit growth players. RBI grew its system by 1,342 restaurants last year. Burger King alone added 1,042. About a decade ago, the company had only 12,000 restaurants. There are currently 27,059. In each of the last three years, RBI boasted net restaurant growth of over 5 percent.

In 2019, Burger King’s domestic business expanded by a net of just 16 stores to 7,346 restaurants—7,294 of which were franchises. Average-unit volumes were $1.39 million on those restaurants. And from June 30, 2019, forward to this current year, Burger King’s U.S. footprint has trimmed by 15 restaurants to 7,257 from 7,272 locations.

RBI made progress on the sales front in recent months. In Q2, more than 4,500 restaurants returned to bring coverage to 93 percent globally. And by the end of the period, RBI was back to 90 percent of prior-year systemwide sales. Dining rooms are currently open in about a third of restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.

This past quarter, which ended June 30, Tim Hortons’ same-store sales declined 29.3 percent; Burger King dropped 13.4 percent (negative 9.9 percent U.S.); and Popeyes continued its year-plus, chicken-sandwich fueled momentum at positive 24.8 percent (28.5 percent domestic).

All represented positive trajectory. Burger King’s domestic comps jumped from the negative mid-30s at the end of March to negative mid-teens by Q2 close. But by August, the company said, they were flat on a year-over-year basis.

Nearly all of Burger King’s dining rooms were closed during much of Q2. Burger King, however, touts more than 6,500 drive thrus across the U.S. and was able to grow comparable sales in the channel in the positive low 20s, which illustrates some of the thinking behind the new designs. Drive-thru mix lifted to more than 85 percent of total sales versus two-thirds in 2019. RBI also brought delivery to nearly 2,000 new Burger Kings since February and now has 6,100 U.S. locations onboard.

In June and July, Burger King began reopening dining rooms in roughly a third of locations.
