Ever wonder why Burger King or Wendy's don't add Veggie Burgers to their menu cooked with a veggie oil,for those that don't care for meat ?

Burger King has had veggie burgers for years now. They use morningstar farms brand. The last sales report I read estimated that there are two veggie burgers purchased from each burger king a day. I wish Wendy's would add one but they do have the baked potatos. There was a new place that I went to in Florida though that was awsome. It was a fast food place but sold only organic, all natural foods and had a whole vegetarian line. I think it was called Go Fresh. I ate there about 3 times in four days. So good and even my mom and sister love it and they do eat meat. The cost was the same as any other fast food place but better food and you go a lot more.

First, there are not a lot of vegetarians, of those that exist many (maybe even most) vegetarians actually care about what they eat.
Anybody who care about what they eat (vegetarian or not) is going to step foot into a McDs, Burger King, or Wendy's. That leaves for a very small market.
Add to that the fact that a significant portion of the remaining potential market will insist that there veggy burger be cooked on a separate grill than the hamburgers, the fast food joint is left with either an almost non-existent market, or must make a capital expenditure to buy another grill, and have space for it to satisfy what would still be a tiny market.
The economics just ain't there.

I think its because the cost to make veggie burgers available would far exceed the profits that would be made. It doesnt seem like they would anyway because there really isnt that much of a demand for it anyway. Well according to the manager at the nearest one near me anyway.
For all those who say there is veggie burgers in mickey Ds or BK, down in Miami there is none. We dont have any veggie burgers so idk....at least i dont see any

There is a Burger King here in Nashville on Charlotte Avenue that has a really good veggie burger.
I don't know if it's city wide or not b/c I very, very rarely eat at a BK.

As a vegetarian, I would be very suspicious of the way the Burger King 'veggie' burger was cooked. I would imagine it would be done on the same grill as the regular burgers . . . Um, no thanks.
Best to U-Turn it to someplace else in your neighborhood that has better veggie options. The local Indian Chaat house? Thai takeaway? Yummy!

Last I checked, Burger King does have a veggie burger on the menu, but I'm not sure if it is vegan or not. It probably goes through on the conveyor just like the meat patties do, though. Eww.

The people who live in the area in which Burger King and Wendy's are located would not know what a "veggie burger was" or in all probability, it would not be greasy enough for them to eat one.

BK has one . . . I think you have to ask for it, though - either not on the menu or displayed prominently. I had them make it once like a chicken parm sandwich only with a veggie burger instead of chicken. They're good there.
At Wendy's the baked potatoes are probably the best option.

burger king HAD a veggie burger.. but when i tried it ... that burger was so not vegetable.
:D
i rather they just stick to the honest fatty foods.. instead of trying to trick people... because their vegetarian alternatives (even salads...) are highly questionable.
you don't want meat... just do the regular thing.. fresh produce section at the grocer.. i do that now.. i was curious but no longer i am... if it's not pure vegetable, fruit.. whatever i don't trust it...
you have to be very weary of fast food places and processed foods that claim vegetable of any sort.. even vegan friendly stuff is highly under scruteny.
i kid you not... it's boring at times.. but you know what you're getting when you go for the fresh produce.
