GLENDALE, Calif. – Glendale,
California, residents can get a
fix for their Whopper cravings without leaving their homes. The Glendale Burger
King is testing a delivery service that would bring the restaurant’s food right
to the customer, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Glendale location joins
Houston, Miami
and Washington, D.C., areas with Burger King delivery
options. Franchisee Bob Stevens decided to pilot the program at one of his
eight Burger King stores.
Stevens hired
five drivers to shuttle food to addresses within a 10-minute drive of the
restaurant. Burger King has special food containers similar to the ones used by
pizza delivery shops that will keep fries fresh and burgers hot.
Fast-food delivery might still be a novelty in the United States, but oversees, it’s been a staple in
several countries. Shanghai KFC and McDonald’s locations deliver to customers,
while McDonald’s in the Philippines provide delivery 24/7.
