In the middle of this week, Burger King began selling the Bowie burger with the new recipe and package, their first change to the main product after nearly a decade. This change is the brand's response after nearly two weeks of "PDF" president, listening to customer feedback.

Tom Curtis, Chairman Burger King and Canada, said that he was on the phone for 4-6 hours a day, including Saturday. After releasing the personal number to receive feedback from early last week, about 20,000 phone messages and texts have been sent to him so far. "Whopper is always one of the top themes," he said.

For years, users have been constantly complaining about broken burgers. "They rot literally", Curtis said. Thus, they replaced Bowie's paper sack with hardbox, protecting the cake better in shipping. The research team in the company kitchen found that the traditional shell-shaped hardbox keeps the meat loaf fresher, holds a heaty part and brings the "cold cheese" experience.

In addition, Nottingham was also improved, the bread hatched and "seemed more crafted", while the roast beef portion still ensured the weight of the quarter pound.

This F&B series is betting on easy-recognized upgrades, which are intended to compete with fast-food opponents in the increasingly demanding context of both quality and price.

The fast-food industry has been caught up in the intense war since the summer of 2024, when inflation and economic pressures push consumers to search for cheap options. However, constant discounts can reduce the profits and value of the brand. Safety strategy is to make new menus and increase food value.

"Annually today expects higher quality that still retains the familiar flavor of favorite dishes", Curtis said. He added that the action this time was refinement, not making whole new products.

In fact, changing a classic product is often potentially dangerous. Kelly O'Keefe, founder at the Brand Federation Business Counsel Counseling Company, underlined the error of Coca-Cola four decades ago when releasing the New Coke franchise, eliminated the classic Coke product. As a result, the new product was found to be put to death for only a few days, much faster than the time when the Merritt Barrel restaurant chain gave up the new logo (after more than a week) in the middle of last year.

On the fast food market, Burger King is having to "run along" high-end brands such as Five Guys and Shake Shack. "If they don't go too far than the customers love at the Fairfax, I think this can be very successful", O'Keefe remarked.

Meanwhile, Asit Sharma, analyst at the Motley Fool consulting firm, wondered why Burger King took so long to change. He pointed out that McDonald's made new Big Mac from three years ago, including structural improvement steps, quality of sauce and bread. That is, even the largest fast food chain considers the raising of quality to be a precipitation.

Sharma also added that the story of listening to Burger King's client may involve pressure from the concession store owners. He described Burger King's new move as a "half-full-and-half defense" defense, which kept the customers from moving to higher-level division competitors, while attracting guests who were using higher brands, wanting to turn to low options but still demanding high quality.

As for Burger King, Curtis said that the company is more excited than ever to act on what they get feedback from the customers. He added that Fairfax was the first of many "intended updates" that the brand expected to improve the menu in the future.
