Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Vote?

Each burger can be ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 is the least and 5 is the most) in three categories: taste, creativity and customer service.

Voting is completed after trying a participating burger. Each participating restaurant will have table tents with a QR code or a website link to vote. The program uses the honor system so please vote only time per meal.

Do I vote after every burger?

Yes. Participants will only vote after trying a participating burger.

At the restaurant scan the QR code or type the link into a web browser to vote. Only vote once for the burgers you have personally tried.

Brownie (or burger) points if you try them all!
