Burger King is trialling an app for ordering food and booking a table at its outlets in Italy, as it seeks to persuade locals it is safe to eat out again after more than two months of coronavirus lockdown. Like other fast food chains, sandwich outlets and coffee shops, Burger King, which serves an average 11 million people a day in 25,000 restaurants around the globe, is worried that social distancing rules and fear of contagion will put people off from popping into its stores to grab a burger and chips. "We need to be good at showing people that it's safe to come to a place which is perceived as being crowded, and give them options so they understand there is a safe way to come in," Andrea Valota, Burger King's chief in Italy, said in an interview.

Q4 2019 BG Staffing Inc Earnings Call

U.S. President Donald Trump met with restaurant and industry experts Monday, including Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE: QSR) CEO Jose Cil who described the gathering as "extraordinary."What Happened Restaurant leaders were given the opportunity to "share all of our experiences" over the past 60 days and "all the challenges we are facing," Cil said on CNBC's "Closing Bell."One of the common themes across the participants was the importance of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for franchisees who are small business owners, he said. The industry executives also pitched on how the PPP can be improved, including an extension of the eight-week deadline to spend the loans to 24 weeks, the CEO said. The extension would give franchisees in areas that are slower to re-open more time to rehire staff, he said. "It was very feasible and I think very executable to extend the timeline." Why It's Important The White House was "very open" to the idea of extending the eight week deadline although there is a "political process" that needs to take place before changes are made into law, Cil said.Yet it comes down to a "technical adjustment" to the regulations, so the restaurant group is "hopeful," the CEO said. What's Next For Restaurant Brands More than 10,000 of the company's Burger King, Popeyes and Tim Hortons' chains remained open for business across North America throughout the start of the pandemic, Cil said.While the service was limited to off-premise dining, around 1,200 restaurants are either fully open or planning for a reopening, he said. It's difficult to offer any specific outlook moving forward other than to say the company is "really optimistic, really excited," Cil said.Restaurant Brands shares were down 1.97% at $51.36 at the time of publication Tuesday.Related Links:April's Restaurant Data Far From Encouraging, But There Is HopeChecking In On Restaurants Amid The Coronavirus Lockdown: Cousins SubsSee more from Benzinga * Bored Of Reheated Pasta?
