Thank you to all our BurgerBusters employees for continuing to weather all the challenges of the last few years. No matter what has confronted you (i.e.  labor shortages, inflation, etc.), you have persevered and enabled our great company to reach new heights. […]

2022 was a transition year for BurgerBusters. Throughout our now 36-year history, BurgerBusters was always growing, whether it was by development or acquisition. All that changed when we sold 87 businesses to Charter Foods in December 2021.

As the Accounting Department promised, we are going to continue discussing hot topics in the financials. This issue, we decided to discuss the different kinds of financial statements and why they are used. First, the Balance Sheet is a snapshot of your assets, liabilities, and equity at a certain point in time to help evaluate a company’s financial position. Next, we have the Income Statement that tells us if our revenues are outweighing our expenses for a period of time, which allows us to see if we are profitable […]
