Buy a BURGER KING® EMEA & APAC Franchise

Burger King® is one of the world’s largest quick-service restaurant chains, founded in 1954 and operating in over 100 countries. In the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific) regions, approximately 4,500 restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees, reflecting the brand’s franchise-first model for international expansion.

The EMEA/APAC franchise system operates under Restaurant Brands International (RBI), which also owns Tim Hortons®, Popeyes®, and Firehouse Subs®. Regional support is delivered from dedicated centers in Zug, Madrid, London, and Munich for EMEA, and from Singapore for APAC. Franchises are structured through both direct agreements and master franchise arrangements, with franchisees managing restaurants to BK’s global brand standards.

The brand’s menu centers on flame-grilled food, anchored by the iconic Whopper®, with local adaptations across diverse markets in both regions. With over 19,000 restaurants globally, Burger King® is the second-largest fast food hamburger chain in the world, and the EMEA/APAC network is a core part of that global footprint.

Why buy a BURGER KING® EMEA & APAC Franchise?

Buying a Burger King® EMEA & APAC franchise gives operators access to one of the world’s most recognized QSR brands, backed by RBI’s global infrastructure, marketing scale, and supply chain relationships. The brand’s established name recognition and operational systems reduce the capital and time an independent operator would need to build comparable consumer trust.

The entirely franchised structure of the EMEA/APAC network means RBI has deep experience supporting operators across complex, diverse markets. Franchisees benefit from regional centers in Zug, Madrid, London, Munich, and Singapore, providing operations, marketing, and regulatory guidance. The brand’s ongoing menu innovation and digital ordering investment give franchisees tools to compete where convenience and delivery are central to consumer behavior.

BURGER KING® EMEA & APAC – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Franchisees receive approximately 320 hours of on-the-job training and up to 64 hours of classroom instruction covering restaurant operations, food safety, and brand standards. Training includes access to proprietary tools, software, and procedures, and requires ServSafe® food safety certification. Ongoing support is provided through regional centers in Zug, Madrid, London, Munich (EMEA), and Singapore (APAC). Resale buyers should confirm with RBI what training and system access transfers to incoming owners under a resale agreement.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Burger King® EMEA & APAC suits operators with experience in QSR, hospitality, retail, or real estate. The model favors well-funded individuals or groups with local market knowledge and the ambition to develop multiple locations within a territory. Family businesses, private equity-backed operators, and individual entrepreneurs have all become franchisees. The role is operations-led, requiring hands-on management of restaurant teams, customer service delivery, and compliance with brand and local regulatory requirements. Buyers of existing units should bring operational experience relevant to their specific market.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Burger King® is among the most recognized QSR brands in the world, with a presence spanning over 100 countries and more than seven decades of franchising history. Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the brand's parent company, ranked among the leading food service companies globally by market capitalization in 2024. For resale buyers evaluating an EMEA or APAC unit, brand-level recognition is one relevant factor alongside unit-specific performance. Local customer reviews, market visibility, and the trading record of the specific location are equally important when assessing the value of a resale opportunity.

  4. Industry / Market

    The quick-service restaurant category is resilient across economic cycles, driven by convenience demand, urbanization, and digital ordering growth. The North American fast food market was valued at approximately $261 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.4% through 2034 (Market Data Forecast). In EMEA and APAC, growth is further shaped by expanding urban populations, rising disposable incomes, and mobile ordering adoption. For resale buyers, market performance varies significantly by country and city, making unit-level trading history and local competitive position the most relevant indicators.
