Burger King is making a major push to improve customer satisfaction, announcing Monday that it will remake any unsatisfactory Whopper for free and offer guests a complimentary Whopper on their next visit.
The fast-food chain said the "Whopper Guarantee" initiative will launch alongside a new team of employees called "Your Way Champions," who will be specifically dedicated to addressing customer needs rather than solely overseeing restaurant operations.
"Burger King is introducing two new initiatives designed to improve the moments Guests told the brand matter most – providing a consistent, accurate and welcoming in-restaurant experience – by introducing Your Way Champions and the Whopper® Guarantee," the Florida-based chain said.
The move comes about four months after Burger King launched a listening initiative inviting guests to share feedback directly with company President Tom Curtis through his phone number. The chain said it received thousands of calls and texts highlighting areas for improvement.
BURGER KING MAKES CHANGES TO SIGNATURE WHOPPER FOR FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A DECADE
Under the Whopper Guarantee, guests can have any Whopper remade immediately for free if it does not meet their expectations.
The company will also offer guests a complimentary signature burger on their next visit to make up for the inconvenience.
"Guests expect to have it served hot, and exactly the way they ordered it. That's why if a Whopper® doesn't meet a Guest's expectations, the brand will not only continue to remake it on the spot, but they'll offer the Guest's next Whopper for free," the chain said.

To redeem the offer, guests can scan a QR code inside their Whopper box to receive a unique six-digit code that can be used for a free classic Whopper during their next Burger King visit.
The new Your Way Champions will serve as a "clear point of contact" for guests throughout their visit, helping ensure orders are prepared correctly and resolving issues when needed.
Employees in the role will be identifiable by their Your Way Champion uniforms and will welcome guests, double-check orders, focus on customization requests and provide assistance aimed at creating a more guest-focused experience.

"When Guests choose us, they expect high-quality food, orders made the way they asked, and a team that's there when they need us," Burger King said. "That's what these changes are about. We're raising the standard in our restaurants, so every Guest feels like they made the right choice."
Burger King said additional initiatives based on guest feedback will roll out throughout the year, including new menu announcements expected later this summer.
