At Wayback Burgers, our juicy, fresh-off-the-griddle burgers are cooked to order and never frozen. Our signature house-made potato chips go perfectly with our thick, rich milkshakes. The warm, welcoming décor makes the short wait for a hot burger that much easier, or customers can pick up orders placed by phone, fax or Web. Monthly burger and shake specials keep things lively for our many repeat customers. Additional menu items include hot dogs, a variety of sandwiches, chicken fingers, and fresh salads.

Strong Category Demand

Many Americans crave better taste and atmosphere than fast food chains offer, but they want value, too. That’s why the number of US fast casual burger units (including Wayback Burgers) nearly doubled from 2004-2008, and their revenues grew even more. The 17 largest fast casual burger chains grew sales by 11% in 2008, at the height of a recession! A Wayback Burgers franchise offers a way to capitalize on this demand with a proven system for success.
Customers Want to Stay a While

Our new, inviting restaurant design complements the welcoming attitude of our employees. Our 1920’s-inspired décor are familiar and classic, featuring warm red, white and stainless steel accents. It’s clean and open, in keeping with the community interaction that we encourage for every franchise.


Multiple Options for Revenue Growth

Simple, classic fare from Wayback Burgers lets you capitalize on options like drive-through, delivery, catering and fundraisers. We also participate in VetFran to support our American armed services veterans. Open the restaurant you always dreamed of, or take advantage of our discount on multi-unit purchases.
