As a student, I worked for quite a long time in one of the large fast food chains (IKEA Restaurant), so I understand something about this. Let's try to figure it out.

As a rule, large fast food chains, such as Mak, KFC, BK, IKEA Restaurant, very closely monitor the quality and freshness of the products from which they prepare their, so to speak, dishes. Each network has strict regulations and food safety rules. These rules are like commandments; they are hammered into the employee’s head from the first days of work, and they also very strictly ensure that these rules are followed. If you do not wash your hands before entering the kitchen or do not wear a hat and apron, you may receive a reprimand from the manager. Close attention is paid to the shelf life of products; all dishes that, for some reason, remain longer than the expected sales date are mercilessly written off and thrown away. Here you will not find microwave ovens where a pre-prepared burger will be heated for you, everything, so to speak, in the heat of the moment. No one needs poisoning scandals and, as a result, loss of consumer trust and brand image as a whole. There have been cases where people were fired because they systematically violated these rules.

Suppliers, by the way, are chosen very carefully, paying attention not only to product quality, production technology, but also to the legal purity of the counterparty. For example, if you own a poultry farm and want to supply chicken to one of the chains, then you must undergo an audit and not only provide all the certificates from the veterinary inspection and other regulatory authorities, but actually allow certified auditors into the territory of your enterprise. They will personally take tests, delve into your documents and study the technological process. The check is carried out according to a checklist, all points that can only be satisfied by a serious, proven and large supplier. There have been cases when violations are discovered among existing suppliers, after which deliveries are immediately stopped until the violations are eliminated, and the products that remain in the warehouses of the establishments are sent back or destroyed. Maybe someone remembers when IKEA stopped selling hot dogs at all for a while? So this is exactly the case.

Taking into account all of the above, we can safely say that eating in these establishments is at least safe. There were, of course, cases of poisoning, but these were isolated cases, and there were very few of them. I can say with confidence that the likelihood of getting poisoned in a more or less decent cafe is much higher.

And now about the harmfulness. It is probably stupid to compare CFC, MAC, and BC on this parameter. The recipe and cooking technology are approximately the same everywhere; moreover, it is possible that some of the chain’s products are purchased from the same suppliers. Fast food can only be harmful when it becomes the basis of the diet. If you only eat burgers and wash it all down with cola or milkshakes, then you will undoubtedly have health problems. It's no secret that most fast food products are high in calories, have a large amount of not always healthy fats, and soda and cocktails contain huge amounts of sugar. With daily excessive consumption, problems with excess weight, as a result, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other disorders are guaranteed. But what is the difference between, for example, my mother’s cutlets made from minced beef bought in Pyaterochka, fried in a frying pan with the addition of a large amount of butter, spices and breading, from the same cutlets made from poppy seeds and BC? Nothing really... The same minced meat that is made from the meat of animals raised on antibiotics and steroids, vegetable oil rich in fats, the quality of which is quite questionable, and if it also comes with pasta from a local factory, flavored with "ketchenese" sauce, then mmm , beauty in general... I would argue here which is more harmful to your figure and health.

From this we conclude: Moderate consumption of fast food is not harmful, but it is also not worth asserting its benefits. Nothing bad will happen to you and your figure if you allow yourself a burger or breaded wings fried once a week. To be beautiful and healthy, you better watch your diet, we sin on fast food, although we ourselves eat who knows what. More fresh vegetables and fruits, less fatty foods and sugar, but that's a completely different story.

How to save money and eat for free at Burger King and KFC?

One of the largest American fast food restaurant chains, Burger King, is famous for its special approach to marketing schemes. They allow you to save significantly on orders, and sometimes eat at Burger King for free or in KFC.

It is precisely this circumstance that distinguishes this chain from others (for example, McDonald's), where there are fewer shares and prices are higher. The main target audience of these two restaurants are people who strive for reasonable savings without sacrificing quality. The food here is delicious: I want to come again.

When you come to this restaurant, the first thing you do is start looking for your phone and wallet, since everyone has a lucrative coupon for making a purchase. Other visitors do the same. 🙂 A typical picture: there is a line in front of the cash register, people are holding phones with the official Burger King website or app running, as well as printouts. The cashier takes the order, entering the coveted numbers of promotional codes into the cash register and creating a general discount on everything.

How Burger King coupons, promo codes and promotions work

Getting free coupons is not easy, quite time-consuming and tedious. At the same time, there is even now an option to get something for free (more on that below). But what to do when you want to eat now, and not in the distant future? And even in this case, you can save money on products presented on the Burger King menu at regular (i.e., inflated) prices.

Click on the image and download the latest version Burger King Russia coupons for 2020 (winter)(3 MB). Print out all this goodness and take it with you to the restaurant or save it in your phone for convenience! 🙂

As we wrote above: almost the entire Burger King restaurant chain offers offers with coupons. They can be found in many places: for example, fresh coupons are often handed out by promoters on the streets or in shopping centers, in the Burger King app on your phone, and they can also be found on our website ( We try to find, collect in one place and publish here :)). Burger King coupons have a time limit, but most of them are renewed for the next period, some disappear, and new ones take their place - a real cycle of coupons in nature!

How to apply a Burger King coupon

In 2019, several options appeared on how to apply them to the current order. For example, you can find a code and apply it directly (when paying for an order directly in it via phone). Each coupon has a code (number) and expiration date. You can enter the code when placing an order through self-service kiosks (terminals in the restaurant itself), or, in the old fashioned way, tell the seller at the checkout, and the discount will immediately appear in the receipt. You can use any number of them in your order.

This flyer with Burger coupons was given to us by promoters on the street. Relevance - January 2020. The image is clickable. So download it too and take it to Burger King or use the coupon codes in the mobile app :)

We also draw your attention to the fact that some Burger promo codes have limited use. Exclusive Coupons from the mobile application can only be applied. That is, paying for the order in full there. They are marked accordingly " Only in the mobile application". Moreover, they are usually more profitable than universal ones (the discount can reach 60% and above from the base price in the menu). And there is more personal coupons- they are individual, each of them can be applied once and only you can do it. 🙂 And also only available.

Most coupons universal or general (that is, they can be applied both in the application and in the self-service kiosk and at the checkout).

Burger King coupons:

FOR RUSSIA: Current coupons for January 2020 are available (3 MB PDF file). Valid in almost all restaurants, with the exception of airports and some individual retail outlets. Most of them can also be applied in the mobile application.

In addition, you can also find special coupons (available only there). And in " Burgermania“You can participate (more on this below).

Also pay attention to coupons, which are printed on the back of the check. This is the so-called " Hit price". Despite the fact that the receipt says that they are valid for 2 weeks from the date of purchase, in fact this is not the case. And their validity period is essentially unlimited.

Coupons in the Burger King app

The application also offers special Burger King mobile coupons, which are not printed on a sheet handed out by promoters on the street. They are located in the tab " Coupons” and are available to everyone, unlike personal ones, which is logical! Among them there are unique ones with good promotional discounts. Almost secret, because few people know about them and use them, but in vain :) Regular coupons can also be used there - there is a special field where you can enter a coupon code to get a discount.

Simply indicate your date of birth in your mobile application profile, and the promotion will be applied automatically. Naturally, it can be combined with, thereby making shopping at your favorite bookmaker even more profitable :)

Burger King points

Electronic points “Burger King” or simply “E points” :)

Let's tell you more about this new feature of this mobile application. It is already available to everyone. It is also worth noting that they were previously called “ E points"(such as electronic points). But then the FAS forbade them to call their bonuses that way in the bonus program (the association, they say, is indecent :)). So either electronic points or just points.

Every order you place on the Burger King app will earn you 3% to 12% of the amount spent in the form of bonuses.

Cashback accrual scale (total amount of purchases for the entire time):

• behind first order from 300 rubles you will receive 100 points,
• further, for total spending up to 3999 rubles, a basic cashback of 3% of the order is credited;
• From 3999 there is already 5%;
• From 10,000 it will be 7%;
• From 50,000 we get 10%;
• And from 100,000 it will be 12%.

As you can see, the cashback scale is progressive: the percentage increases from the total amount of your orders for the entire time you use the application. Essentially, points are cash back for your purchases. With accumulated bonuses (1 BC point = 1 Russian ruble) you can pay in full (that is 100% its cost) any order in any restaurant throughout Russia!

And since 2019, Burger King has been practicing increased cashback for a number of menu items. For example, in May he was out for ice cream - returned 25% from its price with Burger King points (especially profitable if you take Oreo or Kitkat ice cream). In order not to miss such promotions, you must have the application installed and activated it contains a bonus account. In this case, notifications will come in the form of application push notifications and/or email.

Also in the mobile application you can save up purchases and receive gifts (for example, get a free cappuccino after purchasing the sixth one). And in the application, a special coupon is now activated every day with a very favorable discount on various basic menu items. It changes every day and is valid for 24 hours, just keep an eye on it :)

Well, for your birthday they will give you 30% cashback points!

These points are awarded only for online orders in the mobile application. We link our bank card to it, and then place an order: we create a basket of what we want in the “ Menu". We place the order and then simply go to pick it up when it’s ready. The app is also convenient for keeping track of status order, so as not to waste your time waiting and come when everything is ready :) And even more so in line near the cash register, inconvenient terminals and so on.

Lifehack: bonuses are awarded automatically immediately after purchase! That is why it is convenient to split one order into smaller ones, so that within one visit to the restaurant you can get something from the Burger King menu completely free, applying just received but already accumulated points :)

Another trick: Since when using the application you need to link your bank card in order to place orders, it makes sense to add a card there with a good constant cashback for fast food. For example, this option is provided by the “” debit card from “Home Credit” - 3% from the order amount. And also for the remainder 10% per annum. The map is easy to make free. We have the most detailed one. By the way, you can add several cards from different banks at once to the Burger King app and choose which one to pay :)

This trick will allow you to receive on an ongoing basis double cashback at Burger King: up to 12% with “points” in the application and 3% for paying for “Benefit” in the “fast food” option. We receive a total of up to 15% back from our order. We use this trick a lot and love the benefits. Well, if you like the Sberbank card, you can link it too: the application now supports both the accrual and debiting of “Thank you” bonuses.

Description of the Burger King application for beta testers of the loyalty program " Burger King E-points«.

You can start saving and spending these points now. To do this, you need to install the application on iOS or Android, not forgetting about the promotional code ZZ846L by which you will receive free gift. As mentioned above, it will be available for use in a day(we count down exactly 24 hours) after installing the application! It is advisable to make a test order directly in the application from 300 rubles and receive more along with the gift 100 points from Burger King.

One of the tasks of “Epoints” is to replace the bonus card BK Card, linking the receipt of points with a mobile application. Already from the name it is clear that the card exists only in electronic form ( a plastic card like the BK Card will no longer be needed as it is now). If you already have a plastic BK Card and there are points on it, then when you register in the new bonus program, all savings will automatically be transferred to it. To be able to accumulate and write off “E-points” in the application, you need to go to your profile in the mobile application and activate this option. If you previously had a BK Card bonus card, the remaining points will automatically be transferred to it. Well, you can continue to save, save and spend points in the application. The mechanics will remain the same as currently implemented in BK Card.

How to test the Burger King app?

If you want to test new features before other users and get benefits from this (which may appear), then after the above steps you need to go to Play Market(It’s probably also possible on the AppStore, but we haven’t tested it) - find the application there, go to its card and then select the item that you want to be a member beta testing. We are waiting for a decision to include you in the team within 24 hours, and then you update the application to the nearest beta version through the same Play Market.

Burgermania at Burger King

Less than half a year has passed since Burger King relaunched its popular promotion from last fall 2019 - “ Burgermania". Its principle remains the same - we buy promotional products and receive prizes for them in the Burger King mobile application. Next, simply scan the receipt in the application and choose your prize from 5 options. For orders via mobile app You don’t have to scan anything at all :)

The prizes themselves have become much more interesting - here is a car, an apartment, and gift certificates for travel and purchases in popular stores like "" or "". Moreover, with each order you will receive guaranteed prizes from numerous Burger King partners, as well as personal coupons for free food(for 1 ruble) from the fast food restaurant itself - they come in the “ Burger King Personal Coupons” in their mobile application. Here's another way to save on food. 🙂 If you win free food, look for your personal coupon in the app’s tab of the same name.

The promotion itself will last until January 15, 2020. Prizes are awarded every week, including big ones. The more promotional products you buy, the greater your chances of winning :)

In our opinion, the most profitable shopping options at Burgermania are Snickers ice cream (a bucket). It comes out to around 100 rubles. The rest there costs more, but the prices, it is worth noting, are basic, that is, from the menu of the restaurant itself.

How to get money for checks at Burger King

Scan receipts with QR codes from Burger King and get cashback!

In 2019, another profitable way to save money when shopping at Burger King restaurants appeared. And these are checks from QR codes, which are given to you for your purchases either at the checkout, or at a self-service terminal, or in a mobile application. It would seem, how can you save money here? So, special services have appeared that pay you money for scanning these same receipts. The benefit of the services themselves here is that they collect impersonal statistics on purchases: what they buy, when and where and at what price, and for this information the stores are willing to pay them, and the services are willing to pay you.

Everything is very simple: we install mobile applications of services, register in them, scan your receipts with QR codes, save money and withdraw it either to your phone, to a card, or to payment wallets. As you understand, any checks from any stores, even for online purchases. The potential of your actions is enormous!

What services are these?

There are a lot of positions, not to mention the usual positions of goods from other stores.

Everyone knows that fast food is fraught with many health hazards, and yet, outlets selling quick food continue to multiply and flourish. In today's rapidly changing life, it is becoming increasingly difficult for a person to find the time and energy to prepare traditional home-cooked food. As a result, the confused consumer has no choice but to plunge into the abundance of high-calorie foods of fast food systems. And since the consumer has no other choice, it is very important for the benefit of his health to know the calorie composition of each fast food product.

Some of the most popular fast food systems are McDonald's and Burger King. Let's compare the calorie content and healthiness of similar products in these networks. As indicated on the websites of these networks, the caloric content of products is given as the average from the directory for our region and, in fact, may differ slightly and fluctuate throughout the year, and is also changed without additional notice.

Calorie content of similar products: comparison of McDonald's and Burger King

1 Beef burger
The world famous Beef Big Mac from McDonald's contains a total of 510 Kcal, of which 234 is from fat, on the other hand, the Double Cheeseburger with Bacon from Burger King contains 323 Kcal, of which 135 is from fat. Which makes the latter a healthier choice if you decide to dine out. And since the taste of both burgers has only minor differences, it will not affect your choice in any way, unless you are choosing between beef and pork.

2 Salads
Salads at McDonald's are much healthier due to the fact that they can be ordered without any sauces, the exclusion of which significantly reduces the calorie content of individual products and the food offered in general. On the contrary, Burger King's salads are very high in calories. Compared to McDonald's, the calorie content can be as much as three times higher. As mentioned above, Burger King has a fairly wide range of products with lower calorie content. One of the product groups in which McDonald's compares favorably and quite significantly is salads.

Fortunately for us, the calorie content is written on food packages at fast food outlets. Armed with this knowledge, you can make the right choices in order to prevent various diseases that plague humanity today. By being picky about food, you can overcome obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, which will contribute to the health of the nation as a whole.

3 French fries
At McDonald's, a small portion of such potatoes weighs 240 kcal with 3 g of protein, and at Burger King it is 203 kcal and 3.5 g of protein. Again, the Burger shows lower calorie content, which means that its fries are healthier, and the symbolic increase in protein will help support lean body mass.

4 Drinks
At McDonald's, 250 ml of a strawberry milkshake will add 250 Kcal and a carbohydrate portion of 45 g. At Burger, a similar strawberry shake will add 400 Kcal and 72 g of carbohydrates. Looks like this is another healthy alternative from McDonald's.

5 Breakfasts

If you choose from the McDonald's breakfast menu a Chicken Fresh McMuffin with a chicken cutlet, lettuce and tomato, it will be 365 Kcal. The classic Krispy Chicken sandwich with crispy breaded chicken, which is complemented with chopped lettuce, tomato and creamy mayonnaise, will give you 485 Kcal. Looks like the mayonnaise added some calories to the King here. In this case, if you are watching your figure, it is better to go to McDonald's.

6 Chicken nuggets
McDonald's has a serving of Chicken McNuggets (6 pieces) - fried pieces of tender chicken meat in breading will add 270 Kcal to you. Burger's same dish has 264 Kcal, that is, almost the same, which is not surprising - after all, it is the same chicken. So if you are a fan of this kind of chicken, it doesn’t matter to you which establishment you go to.

7 Hamburgers
If we compare hamburgers from both chains, we get the following. McDonald's offers a hamburger for 255 Kcal, and Burger King - for 200 Kcal. Although this is the same chopped beefsteak with pickles between the buns, the numbers speak for themselves: at McDonald's it is heavier. If we want to limit our calorie intake in order to lose weight, then we go to King.

8 Fish sandwiches
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish - well-fried cod with a slice of cheese and special sauce on a bun provides 320 kcal, contains 5 g of sugar and 14 g of protein. Approximately the same fish fillet at Burger King is called Fish King and has a killer energy value of 484 Kcal with the same amount of sugar and protein. Everything is clear with calorie content. It should be noted that the value of both products is given by the rich content of saturated fatty acids, of which Burger King has slightly more. A lack of such fats can lead to the development of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.

9 Desserts
If you compare simple ice cream in a cone from two culinary giants, it turns out that McDonald’s has 130 Kcal, and King’s has 108 Kcal. The amount of fat in both cones is the same, 3 g each, the difference in calories lies in the larger amount of carbohydrates at McDonald's, although if you look closely, you can understand that the difference is small and falls within the average statistical error. That is, the nutritional value is most likely the same for both companies, so you can safely go to any establishment.

So which fast food is better in terms of calories? Most likely, the average calorie content of a similar set of dishes will be approximately the same in both establishments. But to find out for sure, you need to go to McDonald's and Burger King, order a similar set of dishes to your taste in both establishments, write down its calorie content from the packaging of each product and add it up. Where the calorie result is lower, there will be a healthier choice for your taste.

Today’s article will tell fast food lovers about where it is better to go for their favorite delicacy, as well as a number of features of each establishment, and you will have to judge which one you like best.

Nowadays, fast food sets are gaining popularity more than ever. Their dishes cannot leave anyone indifferent, and frequent advertisements lure customers to their place. Many people wonder: where should they go? And where does the food taste better? And what is better than Burger King, or McDonald's, or KFS? Well, today we will try to answer these kinds of questions.

Until relatively recently, a few years ago, it would seem that McDonald's had no equal, this made it very in demand and popular among avid street food eaters. But over time, this fast food chain quickly began to create competition with such establishments as Kentucky fried chicken (literal translation) and Burger King, adding hot new items that you did not see at McDonald's. Since the forties, McDuck (as it is also called) has not fallen out of first place in the ranking for sales of its products, but after the emergence of competition, it began to be forced out of its boring first places and compete by offering visitors more and more new items on the menu.

Burger King became popular very quickly among lovers mainly of hamburgers, and KFS became famous thanks to its legendary chicken wings. After its discovery, many tried to repeat the recipe, but were able to repeat the same crispy taste.

Before deciding which is better Burger King, or McDonald's, or KFS, let's compare these establishments with each other.

• If you are a lover of different types of hamburgers and want to try completely new types, prepared according to different recipes and which will have completely different aftertastes. With each of their innovations, they surprise us with their variety of sauces and ingredients that will be included in your favorite non-competitive dish.
• If you prefer fried, crispy chicken in different servings and cooking methods, you have no choice but to go to a KFS establishment that specializes mainly in cooking chicken;
• Well, if you are a lover of the classics and want to try recipes that have been proven over the years, then go to McDonald's. By the way, for lovers of healthy eating, this establishment introduced salads and carrot sticks to the menu to expand its consumer audience.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that if you are obese, you need to limit your consumption of this type of food to prevent the situation from worsening. And for fans of healthy eating, it should be remembered that lettuce leaves are also treated with a substance to maintain the shape and crunch of the leaves. Although this substance is recognized as suitable for consumption, you yourself must understand that such food can no longer be called healthy.

The world's most famous fast food chains have many similarities, but their existence still divides consumers into eternally warring camps. Which is better - the former leader in the number of outlets McDonald's, KFC or Burger King, known for aggressive advertising in relation to its main competitor - everyone decides for themselves.

Let's choose the best fast food restaurant, according to the majority.

Burger King vs McDonald's

The restaurants are not inferior to each other in the range of dishes.

The brainchild of the McDonald brothers and Burger King, founded by two enterprising franchisees from Florida, developed almost identically. Both restaurant chains adopted the new concept of fast food, abandoned traditional cutlery and began to develop according to the .

Today, fast food giants offer a standard menu of burgers, snacks and drinks and compete daily for the hearts of visitors with the help of special offers and flashy advertising campaigns.

Experienced consumers highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each network:

1. Cost of meals. A traditional set of a burger, fries and a drink costs guests of both restaurants approximately the same price. Other items are cheaper.
2. Range. The brands do not lag behind each other: in each of the restaurants you can try sandwiches from different types of meat, salads and appetizers, desserts and drinks, and adults. But, unlike Burger King, McDuck does not sell alcohol.
3. Discounts. Burger King has several loyalty programs that allow customers to save up to 99% on the cost. McDonald's is stingy with price promotions.
4. Social responsibility. McDonald's regularly holds large-scale charity events and openly declares its concern for environmental issues.

KFC or Burger King?

The KFC menu includes only chicken meat dishes.

It is not entirely correct to compare Burger King with KFC, since the latter specializes in chicken products. But at the same time, the KFS menu is distinguished by a standard set of dishes for fast food.

Let's determine the advantages and disadvantages of networks:

1. Range. The main point, which is both the hallmark of the chain and its disadvantage, is the absence of any meat other than chicken at KFC.
2. Menu update. In this aspect, KFC is ahead of both fast food giants, regularly delighting visitors with new products.
3. Promotions and discounts. In terms of the quality and quantity of loyalty programs, both networks are at the same level: cool gifts, a point system and projects created in collaboration with well-known partners.
4. Transparency. Unlike many fast food chains, KFS does not hide what is happening in the kitchen - the company regularly conducts tours and demonstrates hygiene and quality standards.

Thus, the outcome of the confrontation between brands remains open, and each restaurant retains its regular customers.
