How to File a Complaint Against Burger King

If you decide to file a complaint against the company, here are some things you should keep in mind:

  • Be Prepared

Before contacting them, make sure you have all the information needed to prove your case. This includes proof of purchase (if applicable), receipts, pictures, videos, etc. Also, make sure you have the necessary documents to back up your claim. For example, if you purchased something from them, you might want to bring along the receipt and any other relevant evidence.

  • Keep Calm

While you may feel like you're about to go through a roller-coaster ride, remember to stay calm and collected at all times. Don't lose your cool, and don't panic. Instead, take a deep breath, relax, and try to remain composed.

  • Ask Questions

While you may think that you already know everything there is to know about the matter, chances are you still have questions. That's okay. Just ask. And if they don't answer, ask again. They may just not understand your question.

  • Write Down Everything

Make sure to write down every detail you can recall about the incident. This way, you won't forget anything important later on.

  • Follow Up

Once you've filed a complaint, follow up immediately. In most cases, they will respond within 24 hours. However, if you haven't heard from them after 48 hours, you can send another email asking them to reply.

Take BK to Small Claims Court if Your Issue is Not Resolved

At this point if you haven't received a satisfactory response from BK, you may want to consider taking them to small claims court. The small claims court system allows you to file a complaint against any company or individual for any reason, no matter how trivial, and get compensation from them.

Here's a breakdown of the information you need and the steps you should follow if you choose to pursue a small claims lawsuit against Burger King:

Step 1: Fill Out a Complaint Form

The first step is to fill out a complaint form, aka "Statement of Complaint" at the small claims court's clerk's office and pay the filing fee. The form should indicate why you're suing BK, the compensation amount you're pursuing, and any piece of information you intend to table as evidence.

Step 2: Prepare Your Case

To prepare your case, gather the following items:

  1. Proof of Purchase - If you purchased an item from them, be sure to bring it with you when you meet with them.
  2. Receipts - Bring copies of any receipts you have for purchases made from them.
  3. Pictures - Take photos of the damaged food or drink and any other relevant evidence.
  4. Documents - Make sure you have all the necessary documentation to support your claim. Examples of these would be rules regarding refunds, photos of the damage, photos of the product(s) you bought, etc.

Step 3: Send Your Statement of Complaint to BK

After filling out the statement of complaint, mail it to Burger King. It is recommended that you send it certified mail so that they receive it right away. BK will have up to 20 days to respond to your claim, and you can expect one of three things:

  • They may send you the money you're pursuing and have the case dismissed.
  • They may not respond, meaning you'll win the case automatically.
  • They may file a claim, in which case you'll have 20 days to respond, failure to which the case will be dismissed.

Step 4: Go Before A Judge

If you decide to go through with the case, you'll have to appear before a judge who will set a date for trial. At this time, you'll present your case and provide supporting documents. Once the judge has reviewed everything, they will decide whether to dismiss the case based on the evidence presented.

Step 5: Present Your Evidence

At trial, you'll have to prove that the defendant was negligent and caused your damages. To do this, you'll have to present evidence such as pictures of the products you bought, receipts for those products, and any other relevant pieces of evidence.

Step 6: Determine How Much Money You Will Receive

Once you've proven your case, the judge will determine what compensation you deserve. They will base their decision on how much money you were seeking initially, but they may increase or decrease the amount depending on the severity of the situation.

Step 7: Finalize The Payment Process

Once the judge determines the compensation amount, they will enter a judgment against the defendant. That means the defendant must pay you the full amount within 30 days of receiving notice of the judgment.
