Hungry Jack's Mount Isa

Jack Cowin, our founder and still our biggest shareholder, opened our first restaurant in Innaloo, Perth in 1971. Hungry Jack’s is a proudly Aussie owned company with over 50 years of history. With more than 440 restaurants serving every major population centre in the country, we employ over 19,000 Aussies, serve more than 1.7M Aussies each week and serve up more than 125M Australian beef patties every year. We’ve been making our burgers fresh to order for over 50 years, and our customers have been able to customise them just the way they like them for just as long. Hungry Jack’s success is not rocket science. It comes down to serving good food, employing great people and serving strong communities. And doing it all with real integrity. There is nothing fake about Hungry Jack’s food. That’s why we only use cage free, freshly cracked eggs. Every change to our menu is based on what our customers want, like our gourmet Grill Masters burger range, and our switch from traditional fries to thick cut chips. As well as being a proud Aussie company Hungry Jack’s is the master Australian franchise of the Burger King Corporation. But for reasons too boring to go into here, in 1991 the Burger King Corporation opened it’s doors in NSW under the Burger King trademark. Three confusing years later everyone agreed that the power of a single Aussie brand and the 30 year heritage of the Hungry Jack’s trademark was the best solution. Hungry Jack’s employs over 19,000 Australians. And every one of them, from the youngest part-time crew member to the most senior regional manager, shares a little bit of the Hungry Jack’s DNA: the bit that makes us want to put smiles on peoples’ faces every day.
