Restaurant365, known as the premier all-in-one management platform for restaurants, has announced an exciting event aimed at Burger King operators across the U.S. This inaugural Burger King Innovation Day will occur at the Atlanta headquarters of GPS Hospitality, the second-largest franchisee for the renowned fast-food chain. This event is set to take place on February 4, 2025, gathering top franchisees from the company’s network of over 6,700 locations in the United States.
