Burger King App Rip Off
Discussion
If you order through Burger King app and don't collect your order you get charged anyway.
Few weeks ago ordered a Burger King but there was some sort of road closure and by the time I got to the shop it was closed, but they charged me for the order.
Emailed Burger King a few times since but they are ignoring my emails.
Won't be using Burger King ever again.

Once the food has been bagged up (possibly made to order) and sat there for a while they can't just fish it out and resell it.Few weeks ago ordered a Burger King but there was some sort of road closure and by the time I got to the shop it was closed, but they charged me for the order.

I expect all fast food chains are the same, so don't risk ordering on an app till you are nearby

Obviously you got charged. Or do you think they should only cook it when you arrive to collect?!
McDonalds don’t cook food to order unless you are modifying something.My own actions have created food waste, oh well, let the company suck it up.

They’re gonna put it together though. What is it with the entitlement of some people?!

Whilst I can understand the frustration of the OP that's ^^ kind of where I am.My own actions have created food waste, oh well, let the company suck it up.
If you had a "proper" restaurant cook you a meal and then didn't turn up would you expect them to just pick up the tab?
Probably not so why is it OK when it's a fast food place.

No, McDonalds only do that once you “check in” which the app won’t let you do unless you are at the restaurant.My own actions have created food waste, oh well, let the company suck it up.

At McDonalds it’s because the restaurant doesn’t do anything with the order until you arrive and check in.If you had a "proper" restaurant cook you a meal and then didn't turn up would you expect them to just pick up the tab?

I'm pretty sure they DO only cook to order now, and have done for a few years. Or at the very least they "assemble" to order - gone are the days where you'd have a stack of fully assembled burgers sitting there waiting for an order to come in.
OK so how does it work?, Used to use Burger King a lot, I make an order say 20.00, how does Burger King know how long it will take me to get there, how big the queue at the drive through will be, I have been sat in drive through queues for 30 minutes. At what point do they cook to orderComparing Burger King to a proper restaurant is just silly.
Edit, how do they cook to order if I just turn up?

You can Check In & pay before you get to the restaurant. Done it many times.
No, payment is only taken when you check in. You can place the order as early as you want but the last step requires you to be at the restaurant.You do go through the “pay” screen, but are not charged unless you subsequently check in.

That's precisely how the McDonalds app works, you check in when you arrive and they charge you at that point. Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
