歷史
成立前
儘管不清楚唐納森何時開始策划MrBeast Burger的計劃,但他曾在其Twitter帳號上表示,他「已經策劃這個發佈計劃很久了」。 唐納森的YouTube頻道經理威爾·海德(Will Hyde)透露,這個項目已經進行了數月, [10] 而另一位經理里德·杜赫舍爾(Reed Duchscher)則表示,該計劃已經籌劃了一年以上。[11] MrBeast Burger的官方Twitter帳號於2020年8月12日創建,並且在正式發佈前幾天,某些外送平台的應用程式上已經出現了相關門店的位置。[12]
正式開幕
第一家MrBeast Burger門店於2020年11月10日在北卡羅來納州威爾遜正式開幕。[10] 該門店原為Burger Boy餐廳,經過臨時裝飾後成為唯一的實體店。在開幕活動中,唐納森在YouTube影片中宣傳提供免費食物,並且在餐廳的得來速內向顧客發放金錢、科技產品,甚至是一輛新車。[13] 此活動吸引了大量顧客,排隊長度有時達到20英里。[14]
儘管警方努力控制交通,但排隊人潮最終變得過於龐大,應警方要求,排隊線被迫關閉。[15][16][17] 唐納森於2020年12月19日在其YouTube頻道上上傳了此次事件的影片,正式宣布連鎖店開業,並介紹了在全美300個地點開設的快閃店及合作餐廳。[18] 唐納森還宣布,每筆訂單的一部分將捐贈給幫助確保糧食安全的慈善機構。[19][20]
MrBeast Burger 在宣布後迅速受到關注。影片上傳後不久,它登上了YouTube的熱門榜首,相關的MrBeast Burger應用程式也迅速攀升至Apple Store和Google Play Store的首位。由於應用程式下載量激增,伺服器過載,部分用戶因此遇到了暫時無法使用服務的問題。[21] 該問題在不久後得到了解決。由於人氣激增,幾乎所有快閃店和300個合作地點在開業首夜即報告食物售罄。[22]
開業三個月後,MrBeast Burger 汉堡的銷量突破了100萬个。[23][24]
2021年4月26日,MrBeast Burger 宣布與YouTuber Dream 合作,推出一款限時 Dream Burger,包含兩片壓扁的牛肉餅、 美國起司、美式生菜、蛋黃醬、培根、兩片醃黃瓜和壓扁的酪梨。[25]
2021年10月7日,克里斯多夫·赫奇科克(Christopher Hedgecock)對Virtual Dining Concepts 提起了集體訴訟。赫奇科克聲稱,他在購買 Beast Style Burger Combo 時,被多收了3.16美元,儘管根據俄勒岡州法律,快餐不應收取銷售稅。[26][27][28]
2022年3月18日,唐納森在其MrBeast 2頻道上上傳了一段名為「我讓100人試吃這個!」的影片。影片中介紹了MrBeast Burger菜單上的最新項目——Shrek Quesadilla。環球影城允許他授權使用史瑞克 IP。這款餡餅包含兩片牛肉餅、起司、醃黃瓜和洋蔥。[29]
擴展
自首次開業以來,MrBeast Burger已經宣布了擴展計劃。 針對那些無法享受外送服務的粉絲的抱怨,唐納森承認了這一問題,並表示正在努力將門店數量擴增兩倍或三倍。
第一家MrBeast Burger在加拿大的店鋪於2月初開幕,設在多倫多、埃德蒙頓和卡爾加里,[30] 隨後在溫哥華、哈利法克斯和溫尼伯開設了更多店鋪。在英國的第一家店鋪則於5月初開幕,共有五家店鋪。[31]
2022年8月30日,唐納森宣布將在新澤西州東拉瑟福的American Dream Mall開設一家MrBeast Burger店,這將是他在美國的第一家餐廳,位置靠近紐約市。[32] 餐廳於2022年9月4日正式開幕,[1] 吸引了大量顧客湧入商場,甚至需要新澤西州警察來控制人群。[33]
2023年3月22日,MrBeast Burger在菲律賓開設了其首個東南亞分店,與JustKitchen Philippines和GrabFood合作推出。[34][35]
MrBeast Burger在美國本土擁有超過300個分店,並在波多黎各設有一间。[36] 2023年,該品牌進軍墨西哥。[37] 2024年,該連鎖店在巴西首次亮相。[38]
評價
品質疑慮
開業初期,MrBeast Burger 收到了一些評價。[39] 許多顧客在Twitter上分享了他們的看法,有些人對該連鎖店表示讚賞[40],而其他人則抱怨服務差和等待時間長。[41] 此外,也有指控稱一些分店提供生食。[42][43][44]
儘管許多顧客試圖直接聯繫Donaldson表達他們的抱怨,仍有一些人為Donaldson辯護,將責任轉嫁到準備訂單的餐廳上。由於該連鎖店以「幽靈廚房」形式運營,訂單由合約餐廳的員工烹飪,[45][46][47],因此訂單的品質可能會受到訂購地點的影響。Donaldson 在 Twitter 上回應了這些抱怨,表示:「我會在第一時間承認我們不是完美的!如果有些人遇到了問題,我會樂意退還他們的錢,並做我應該做的事情來解決問題!」[48]
對困境餐廳的幫助
在COVID-19疫情期間,MrBeast Burger 成為了困境餐廳的第二收入來源。[21] 這一連鎖店的菜單設計簡便,適合許多餐廳廚房使用,無需新設備或培訓。位於達拉斯郊區的一家餐廳在開業首日報告賺取了超過7,000美元。[49][50] 大多數運營 MrBeast Burger 的餐廳包括Buca di Beppo、Bertucci's和Bravo! Italian Kitchens[51][52],但其他餐廳也可以申請成為 MrBeast Burger 的加盟店。[53]
訴訟
2023年6月17日,在一位粉絲於推特上詢問有關 MrBeast Burger 宣傳影片刪除的原因後,唐納森回覆說他將「放棄 MrBeast Burger」,轉而「專注於Feastables和製作零食」。他表示,對於與Virtual Dining Concepts, LLC簽下的「糟糕合約」感到後悔,但他也提到,儘管這對他的品牌有害,該公司「仍不讓我停止這項業務」。不久之後,唐納森的回覆便被刪除。 [54][55][56][57]
2023年7月31日,唐納森針對 Virtual Dining Concepts 提起了訴訟,指控其違反合約。唐納森在訴狀中表示,他認為該公司未能維持他所期望的品質,並指控該公司更關注自身的成長,而非這項業務的產品品質。訴狀還指出,Virtual Dining Concepts 在未經唐納森知情的情況下註冊了 MrBeast 的商標,因此唐納森並未從 MrBeast Burger 中獲得任何補償。 [58][59][60][61][62]
Virtual Dining 的律師迅速駁回了這些指控,並聲稱唐納森的指控「充滿了虛假陳述和不實之詞」,同時指出唐納森最近曾試圖與 Virtual Dining 重新談判合約。該公司由 Greenberg Traurig 律師事務所代表,進一步聲稱唐納森使用了「霸凌手段」,試圖在沒有合理理由的情況下逃避現有的合約義務。Virtual Dining 表示「原本希望唐納森先生能夠遵守道德標準行事」,但指責他「將貪婪凌駕於誠信和真相之上」,並稱他「將在法院面臨後果」,當時 Virtual Dining 將對他提起反訴。該案將在美國紐約南區聯邦地區法院審理,目前尚未指定法官。 [63][64][65]
