Stars
Premium Antibiotic-Free Burger Category
This Premium Antibiotic-Free Burger segment is BurgerFi’s core identity and a star in the high-growth better-burger market, capturing roughly 35% of its U.S. same-store sales in 2024 and driving 22% of system AUVs (~$1.1M per unit in 2024). By using 100% natural Angus beef with no hormones or antibiotics, BurgerFi wins health-conscious fast-casual diners and held ~4.5% share of the premium burger category in 2024. Ongoing capex and marketing investments—estimated $18–22M annually—are needed to sustain share versus premium entrants and rising labor/food costs.
Digital and Off-Premise Sales Channels
BurgerFi’s mobile app and delivery partnerships drove about 28% of systemwide sales in 2024, rising from 12% in 2019, capturing a high share in top U.S. urban markets like NYC and Miami.
As convenience-driven consumers shift online, these digital channels need ongoing capital—BurgerFi reported $3.8M in tech and digital marketing spend in FY2024—for platform upgrades and UX improvements.
These channels are the primary growth engine, closing the gap between dine-in and modern demand and supporting same-store sales recovery of ~6% in 2024.
Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings Integration
Since BurgerFi acquired Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings in 2023, the brand has acted as a star by entering the fast-growing casual pizza market, which grew ~8% CAGR 2020–2024 to $145B in US sales (NPD); Anthony’s drove 18% of BurgerFi’s systemwide sales growth in 2024.
Its coal-fired cooking method creates a clear product differentiation, sustaining higher average unit volumes (~$1.2M AUV vs $900K for typical fast-casual pizza) and supporting a ~15% same-store sales premium.
BurgerFi committed $40M in 2025 capex to scale units and integrate procurement, targeting 12–15% food-cost savings via consolidated coal and dairy contracts and centralized logistics by 2026.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Store Designs
BurgerFi’s LEED-certified stores and eco materials position it as a Stars quadrant asset, driving growth in ESG-focused capital where sustainable investments rose 42% in 2024; flagship sustainable locations reported 18% higher foot traffic vs. standard units in 2025 pilot data.
These units boost market share among Gen Z and Millennials—who made up 62% of guests at green locations in 2025—supporting premium pricing and brand loyalty.
Despite 25–35% higher construction costs, sustainable stores signal leadership in ethical fast-casual dining and attract ESG-focused investors seeking growth.
- LEED-certified units = higher foot traffic (+18% in 2025)
- Gen Z/Millennials = 62% of green-store guests (2025)
- Construction cost premium = +25–35%
- ESG investments up 42% (2024)
Strategic High-Traffic Urban Expansion
New company-owned BurgerFi locations in high-density airports and transit hubs act as Stars in the BCG matrix: high growth and high share—typical unit volumes exceed $1.2M yearly in top US airports (2024 TSA passenger counts show 870M+ passengers), giving strong market visibility and cross-channel spillover to franchised stores.
These corridor stores need heavy reinvestment: capex per location often reaches $1.0–1.5M for buildout and $300–500K annual operating marketing to sustain traffic, but can secure market leadership and brand halo.
- High volume: ~$1.2M+ annual sales per airport unit
- Visibility: exposure to 870M+ US air travelers (2024 TSA)
- Capex: $1.0–1.5M buildout; $300–500K yearly promo
- Role: revenue driver and marketing vehicle

Cash Cows
Core Menu Staples like Fries and Shakes
