§Winston Score History

The full picture

Restaurant Brands International (RBI) owns four fast-food chains: Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. It serves everyday consumers looking for quick, affordable meals — burgers, chicken, coffee, and sandwiches. RBI is one of the largest fast-food companies in the world by number of locations, with over 30,000 restaurants across more than 100 countries.

RBI makes most of its money by franchising — it collects fees and royalties from independent restaurant owners who pay to operate under its brand names. This franchise model means RBI does not run most locations itself, which keeps costs low and explains its strong operating margins. The company operates globally, with Tim Hortons dominant in Canada and Burger King spread widely across international markets. The key growth challenge is reinvigorating Burger King's sales in the United States, where it has struggled to keep pace with competitors like McDonald's and Chick-fil-A.
