As a society, we love delivery. With the convenience of on line shopping, catalog shopping and restaurants and fast food franchises offering the same, how about not only “Having it your way,” but delivered to you as well? Burger King is testing their delivery system in the Washington D.C. area with plans to expand to 16 more stores by January 23, 2012.
…For the U.S. test, guests can order online at www.bkdelivers.com or by phone. The restaurants will deliver to a physical address within a 10-minute drive of test units…
Already a great success at locations in Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, Columbia and Peru, perhaps this can give customers even more options and a new reason to “Have it your way?” “Awesome!”
