How Burger King in Russia changed its largest shareholder. Great food comes first First Burger King

On the weekend I visited the kitchen, the back room and the freezer of Burger King - a premium chain, as explained during the tour, fast food. I watched with interest how everything works from the inside, how burgers are prepared, fried potatoes and poured cola. From the ordinary view, most of the process is hidden by cash registers and a counter with ready-made products, and then an opportunity presented itself and questions boiled over to ask, and from the inside to see with our own eyes. For example, I was very intrigued by the fact that they cook without gloves in Burger King, and received an exhaustive answer why it is done this way and not otherwise.

Detailed photo report under the cut.

On the other side of the counter it turned out to be unusual - you are standing, and on the other hand people come up, place orders, look at you with a camera a little, but not too much, surprised. If I saw a group in sterile coats and with DSLRs in fast food, I would probably have shown more amazement. Here, the process goes on as usual, as if nothing is happening.

Burger King, like all fast food chains, has its own recognizable chip, a branded product - the so-called "whoppers". This word, derived from the English Whopper, refers to very, very large burgers, some of which are much larger than the human mouth, I suppose. According to Vicki, the whopper is one of the most recognizable hamburgers in the fast food industry. From time to time, whoppers with a non-standard taste appear on the menu, for a change.

The reason to gather bloggers was another addition to the menu - "Big King Extra" - also a rather big hamburger for a reasonable 85 rubles. I don’t know how the excursion began with other bloggers who visited the kitchen that day, and who was late (almost an hour, through the prayers of his beloved Russian Railways), I was immediately given one for a tasting. Regular readers of my blog will probably remember how I recently conducted a survey about where the most delicious burgers are, and you advised me to try them in various chains. I liked the option at Burger King.

In the kitchen I saw the recipe for this sandwich. At the top there is a 4-inch "bun top" (hereinafter, I quote, and at the end of the post there will be a flowchart), then 7 grams of Big King sauce, under it 14 grams of Iceberg lettuce and 7 grams of onions. Then there are two slices of pickles. All of this is stacked on a hamburger patty toasted over an open fire, and it is stacked on the middle of at least 4-inch bun. Under the middle part is another "hamburger cutlet", lying on a slice of cheese and seven grams of onion. This whole structure rests on 14 grams of Iceberg lettuce, 14 grams of Big King sauce and the bottom of a 4-inch bun.

So, the whole burger is folded in a completely different order in which I listed it. And not even the opposite. Everything is very tricky there, as it turned out, and all kinds of machines take part in the process.

To see the cooking process, we were invited to the staff area. Here everyone changed into special dressing gowns and shoe covers to comply with hygiene standards. We left all outer clothing in the hall in advance, under the supervision of a guard. We took with us only bags with lenses for DSLRs.

Through the refrigerator you can get into the freezer, where the temperature is maintained at -20 degrees:

The maximum allowed time limit that a product can spend outside the freezer during unloading is 30 minutes. In practice, the machines unload much faster. In general, there are many time limits in Burger King. For example, a cutlet after frying should lie no more than an hour in a special container that maintains the temperature. The same applies to all other products - if they have not been applied or consumed in the right time then they are thrown away. The canons of fast food imply that it is more expensive for yourself to risk expired products - lawsuits in which case can be monstrous.

Fresh greens were found on the adjacent shelves, already outside the freezer. Some products arrive at the warehouse uncut, others are fully prepared.

There are sauces next to it, and as I understand it, they are not subject to freezing. Some sauces can be stored in a refrigerated room, while others are specially kept at room temperature. For example, mayonnaise sauce and ketchup are stored strictly in the refrigerator, as the recipe says. The temperature in this room is -2 degrees, that is, it is a full-fledged refrigerator.

We moved to a warmer utility room. Here are stored drinks cups and other disposable dishes, bottled water and teas, rolls (which come frozen and thawed at room temperature). Of the sauces on the shelves, I drew attention to the "barbecue" - apparently, he does not need extreme cooling. Also, no refrigeration is required for the burger sauce, which must be warm when the sandwich is "assembled".

And this is a three-phase dishwasher "according to the standard" - well, that is, in the first phase, the dishes are soaked and stubborn dirt is removed, in the second they are washed with chemicals, and in the third, rinsing takes place. Even in the photo, I noticed that a disinfecting lamp is hanging on the right; it did not rush into my eyes during the shooting:

Personnel with access to products are required to wash their hands using a special system. We were clearly shown how this is done, when I upload the video I will show it. Here is the secret of why they don't use gloves at Burger King.

It turned out, according to studies, that much more bacteria accumulate under gloves than on specially cleaned hands and it is more hygienic to work without gloves. For this, hands are washed very seriously - first thoroughly and using a brush with a special gel, which is washed off with running water. They wash not only the palms, but completely up to the elbows, as in surgery.

Then a special chemical composition is applied to the hands, and carefully rubbed into the skin up to the elbows. As we were told, this is a disinfecting cream used in medicine. As a result, after such a powerful processing, the products can be safely touched with bare hands.

Of course, the treatment is not enough for a whole shift, and according to the standard, hands are washed as they become dirty, but at least once an hour. Hygiene is a critical thing for fast food chains.

But, before it comes to the assembly, which is shown in the frame above, many more steps are required. It all starts with frozen cutlets, which must pass through the furnace of the grill with an open fire. This is practically a conveyor - frozen plates are placed on top and one by one, gradually, fed through the flame. Grill with an open fire "know-how" Burger King, due to such roasting, a great juiciness of the cutlet is achieved.

Cutlets are made from Russian products in Odintsovo, and fried at a temperature of about 400 degrees. Inside it looks something like this:

Below, under the grill, the cutlets fall into special containers with handles. After the container is filled with a certain number of cutlets, it is removed from the grill tray and transferred to a special thermo cabinet, where a stable temperature is maintained at a little over 100 degrees:

In this cabinet, with electronic notes "where is what cutlet" the product may not be forever. If my memory serves me, the limit is 60 minutes, and there is a color indication - if the meat begins to approach the limit, a special light comes on, calling for attention. If the time limit is passed, then the tray with cutlets goes to the trash. I don’t know if this happens in fast food, where a whole system of issuing popular names to customers has been developed, in practice.

Another view of the same wardrobe. Those who want to see the inscriptions can enlarge the image in the browser, as always, I load the pictures like this,. The cabinets themselves are installed above the "assembly line", where all the manipulations with burgers are carried out. Above you can see the recipe labels. The one in the right corner, with the recipe for the very "Big King Extra", I will show at the end.

When the first cutlets appeared in the oven container, it comes to buns. Some of them are defrosted in a warehouse with a low temperature, and after that they are transferred in pallets to the burger conveyor hall:

If necessary, the buns are removed from the sealed packaging and thrown into a special mega-toaster:

At the exit from it there is a soft, but coolly toasted bun:

Buns are two-section, three-section, and are divided by "inches" - I already wrote above that Big King Extra requires the top, middle and bottom of a 4-inch bun. Before my very eyes, they began to collect one of the burgers:

Note that the greens were first put on top of the bun. The one that is closer to you in the frame is the lower one, and first they put two cutlets on it, and then a piece of cheese. I have always wondered how it turns out that some of the products on the burger are cold, and some are hot. If you heat the finished burger in the microwave, the result is completely and significantly worse in taste than what is given in Burger King.

The bottom line is that only part of the food is heated, a significant part of the burger (salad, sauces) is not heated. When you reheat a burger entirely in a microwave, such an effect cannot be achieved in principle, besides, the bread loses moisture and quickly dubs, becomes tasteless.

Then hot cutlets are placed on the toasted bottom, from the same cabinet where the temperature is maintained, and cheese is placed on top:

After that, the lower part of the burger goes into a special oven, where the cheese is melted. Everything is clear on a timer, in a pipeline mode. While part of the burger is there, the chef works on the top element, finishing it with tomatoes.

And when the bottom part with melted cheese comes out of the oven, it is decorated with bacon and complemented with the signature sauce:

And they add something else. By the way, "about the hands" - special grips are used for some types of ingredients:

Finally, the top is neatly placed on the bottom, and the finished burger is wrapped in special paper that allows it to remain at the right temperature.

Now let's see how everything happens with an example of a completely different burger model. Since the process is generally similar, I will not comment on each step.

Let me draw your attention to one thing - the top of the bun is smeared with a special sauce, using a special tool. This is something like mayonnaise, as I understand it:

Where did the second bun go? Of course I went to the cheese melting oven. Moreover, I noticed that in addition to cheese, there was also bacon on it. It also warms up and browns while the ingredients are placed on top:

And here is the bottom of the burger:

A little more additional assembly of the upper part:

Sauces and ingredients on the bottom:

And now, neatly closing the construct:

Result:

Paper wrapping:

Second hands take the wrapped burger ...

To put it in a special tray, customers already see it from the back side. Everything is logical here - burgers are sorted by type, there are inscriptions like "din", "dv.chiz", "cheese" - we all perfectly understand what they mean.

Finally, about the potatoes. I drew attention to the oven with a timer. I waited a long time for the time to run out ...

At this time, potatoes were seething inside. As soon as the timer went to zero and the stove sounded, the container was taken out and hung up so that the oil would drain. As explained, the oil in these furnaces changes as it oxidizes, and this is determined instrumentally. That is, as soon as the oil ceases to comply with the norm, it is replaced with a new one. As a rule, the drain occurs after the change, because this procedure is "dirty", and hot oil is not the easiest substance to use.

And here are the recipes that I peeped on the assembly line. "BBQ Chicken Rap" is something like this in a wheat tortilla:

And here is the recipe for the new Big King Extra burger, still a black and white photocopy, because the day of our visit was the first when it appeared on the menu:

And a couple of photos of people in the end:

Today absolutely everyone knows that fast food is harmful. But at the same time, these are very tasty and mouth-watering, inexpensive dishes that you can eat on your way to work. That is why the Burger King restaurant has been so popular for several decades. Feedback from employees emphasizes that tons are sold through retail chains every day finished products... We offer today to get acquainted with the history and geography of points, open vacancies. In addition, we will try to look inside and see the company through the eyes of its employees.

History of success

Below we will return to employee reviews. Burger King will soon be celebrating its centenary. Specialties from the earliest days have been hamburgers or whoppers, as well as French fries. The history of the chain began with a small restaurant in Florida. On the way to modern development the company changed four owners. In 2013, it had more than 13 thousand restaurants in 80 countries of the world. The network's turnover is over $ 117 million.

Fast food conquers Russia

Relatively recently, in 2010, the first restaurant of this chain was opened. It happened as expected in Moscow. By the fall of 2017, more than 400 restaurants had been opened in Russia, of which more than 200 were in Moscow. More than 30 settlements also have their own Burger King. Young people are already so accustomed to such culinary delights that they are increasingly replacing ordinary food with fast food. Good or bad - let's not argue. Our task is to find out what it is like to work in such a popular network, serving thousands of visitors every day. And feedback from employees will help us with this. Burger King, by the way, regularly advertises personnel search. What happens behind the doors, because of which we get fragrant buns with ruddy cutlets and bright sauce? This can only be said by those who have worked in the ranks of employees.

Your step into the future

Most come to this business as young people. Yesterday's or current students are tempted by the opportunity to grow with the company, to improve their professional level and income. This is fully confirmed by the reviews of the employees. Burger King gives everyone the opportunity to go from an ordinary employee to a trainer, manager, deputy director, territorial manager. Very tempting. What needs to be done in order to get to the top of the career ladder? Let's figure it out together.

Carier start

It is of fundamental importance in which city you decide to get a job at Burger King. Reviews emphasize that the very first restaurants of this chain from all available in Russia are located in the capital. This means that it employs experienced employees who can transfer their knowledge to beginners. But reaching the star top is also not easy. This is due to high competition. A few dozen of the same are walking next to you, and among them there may well be a more talented one. Therefore, you will have to sweat in any case, but especially if you live in employees, the work at Burger King is sometimes called pitch hell, but apparently you need to find the meaning of what you are doing and set a goal. Then the picture will become much more fun.

Start position

The first thing you have to put up with is strict regulations. The main task of each employee is to quickly and at the highest level perform the duties assigned to him. Only by becoming the best at this stage, you will be able to move on to the next, because soon you will be the one to teach beginners.

So, for a beginner, there are two positions: this is the kitchen or the cash register. What do the reviews advise to choose? Burger King is a fast food restaurant, and if you want to succeed, you must be well versed in the recipe and the intricacies of cooking. Therefore, it is worth starting from the kitchen. So you will join the team faster, and you will learn the basic recipes, which will help when the time comes to go out into the hall and start communicating with the guests.

How to get a job

The fast food industry is about high rhythm and compliance with standards. Mastering all the subtleties, quickly switching, adjusting is a task for the young and energetic. Therefore, in the team large percentage students. This is the reason for the high staff turnover. On average, each team consists of 80% students, which is encouraged by company policy.

If you are between 18 and 25, you can maintain a normal dialogue, then you should not be afraid of interviews. It is conducted by the same guys as you, maybe a little older. Their goal is to fill a vacancy as soon as possible, just like yours is to find a job. And again, Moscow will stand a little apart here. Feedback from Burger King employees suggests that during their first interview, they were given stress interviews, asked to dance on the table, and were asked discouraging questions. This is how the employer tries to assess your ability to act in non-standard situations.

Beginning of work

At first everything seems strange and scary. This is especially true for the kitchen. Huge plates with hundreds of cutlets, baked buns, salads, and in between dozens of people who are exchanging strange phrases. Need time. You are assigned a coach who will conduct the training. Usually, the newcomer is put first in the department, where the goods are prepared for shipment to the kitchen. Defrost something, wash something, spread or spill. The trainer will tell you the sequence of actions. Clear schemes are very well thought out here, everyone knows what and at what stage he must do.

The entire learning process is divided into several stages. First, the coach speaks and demonstrates. Then the coach does, and you describe. Then you do, and the coach prompts. Finally, you do and speak at the same time. The difficulty here is to learn all the numbers. This is also often emphasized by reviews. Burger King is a large and well-known company, and manufacturing defects are unacceptable. Therefore, the temperature of the oil, cooking, storage time on board, at delivery, outlet temperature, assembly time, grams and milliliters - all this has to be learned ad infinitum.

Stage two

After the employee has learned all the stages of production and has become free to navigate, he goes to the cashier. But this is not always the case, guys sometimes refuse. But if they do not pass this stage, then they become coaches faster. But the girls are always waiting for the cashier. There are only two positions here, number one and number two. The first one contacts the client, helps to choose, accepts payment and punches the check. The second collects the order for the tray. In addition to the fact that you need to be friendly and attentive all day long, you also have full financial responsibility.

Personal rating

Within the network, each cashier has a personal magnetic card on which all sales are recorded. Instead, each of them receives very specific tasks that must be completed. This is a certain amount of potatoes and sauces, sandwiches and desserts, new products. The salary of employees is also tied to personal sales (St. Petersburg). Reviews of Burger King are assessed as an opportunity to earn good money, subject to personal efforts, of course.

But this practice only exists in large cities... In small settlements, a personal competition for ratings is held constantly, but it gives almost nothing. Sometimes the best employee gets a small bonus. But if a restaurant performs on average in the ratings at the end of the month, then managers and the best employees receive the award.

Career growth

It is quite possible, which is why many are so attracted to work at Burger King. Feedback from employees of St. Petersburg, Moscow and other regions suggests that if you are sociable and sociable, strive for knowledge and do not shirk from work, then you will not sit up as ordinary employees. As soon as you have learned to smile constantly and naturally, talk politely and easily resolve any conflict situations, you automatically become a candidate for coaches.

The composition of the latter is limited, usually one for the whole team. The speed of your advancement also depends on the turnover of the restaurant, therefore, especially in large cities, work at Burger King is highly valued. Feedback from employees suggests that further advancement to the managerial staff depends directly on the growth of the network in your city. After all, as soon as a new restaurant opens, part of the management team is transferred there, and the “losses” are made up for at the expense of the personnel reserve, which are the coaches. The latter have regular meetings and trainings, creative assignments.

Wage

This is the most important thing for every person who takes a job. I would like to say that the salary here is commensurate with the effort invested. The rate is hourly, it is regularly indexed, but depends on the region. Surprised that there are no related negative reviews employees. A job at Burger King (in Yekaterinburg, for example) costs 110 rubles per hour, and in Moscow about 160. This is the initial tariff rate. In this case, a person immediately indicates in the questionnaire how many hours he can devote to work. You can work 40 hours a week or agree on 20. If you need money, then go out to work part-time and overwork.

The next increase in the rate will be when you become a generalist, that is, you will perform well in any area of ​​the restaurant. The coach's salary is even higher. The company helps everyone who is interested to grow.

Burger King fast food has straightened its shoulders, and this fast food chain is already in many cities of Russia. Because fast food is one of the most promising lines of business today.

What is Burger King?

Fast food Burger King is an American company. The full name is Burger King Corporation. The company is headquartered in Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA.

This company owns a global fast food chain. For example, a few years ago, Burger King announced that it has 13,000 retail outlets in 79 countries. This company specializes in hamburgers (mainly whoppers).

Burger King is a fast food restaurant chain.

In Russia (as well as throughout the world) Burger King operates through a franchise system. Franchising, in its simplest form, is an opportunity to open your own store, but under the guise of a well-known company. At the same time, they will help you find a suitable room, staff, help with repairs, goods. It is clear that all this will have to be paid on time.

The first restaurant of the chain in Russia opened on January 20, 2010 in the Moscow shopping and entertainment center "Metropolis", and the second - in the Moscow shopping center "Evropeyskiy". As of September 8, 2017, 466 Burger King restaurants have been opened in Russia.

The speed of preparation and consumption is the main advantage of these dishes. Compared to a restaurant, Burger King, or another fast food chain, is much cheaper. For example, Burger King is aimed at visitors with average income, so it will be cheaper to eat at Burger King than at McDonalds, not to mention the usual cafes and restaurants.

main reason visiting is a convenience. good service ... This is a tasty and inexpensive place to eat.

Everything is delicious and beautiful. but fast food has become a "dangerous" food. Why? To feed a large number of people, it is necessary to prepare a large number of semi-finished products, which may contain various food additives.

Caesar roll

After all, a product that has deteriorated not only loses appearance but also inedible. In order for the products not to spoil so quickly, various preservatives and antioxidants are added to them. Food additives increase the nutritional value of foods.

Onion rings Burger King

For example, it is impossible to do without emulsifiers and stabilizers in the manufacture of ice cream and mayonnaise. Otherwise, these products will simply disintegrate into their constituent parts. Most of these nutritional supplements are detrimental to the body and health of both children and adults.
