On 20th Dec 2020, American YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as “MrBeast” made a too good to be true kind of announcement which was about opening up 300 virtual restaurants called “MrBeast Burger” across the United States.
The restaurant serves 5 different kinds of MrBeast burgers: Beast Style, Chandler Style, Chris Style, Karl’s Grilled Cheese, and Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich. Along with fries and dessert.

His delivery-only restaurant chain is based on a concept known as ghost kitchen and is as he claims, the world’s first free food restaurant.
Since there is no original MrBeast Burger location some MrBeast Burger fans created a master list on Reddit to at least get an idea of how far a location is from ones home and how long delivery should take.
Customers across the US can order MrBeast Burger via its very own app or through other delivery apps like UberEats, Doordash, Grubhub, and Postmates which are available on iOS and Android.
People were so excited that the app kept crashing but was fixed later. By the morning of 21st of Dec, MrBeast Burger app became the second most popular free app in the entire iOS store.

MrBeast Paid Customers To Eat At His Restaurant:
MrBeast posted a video titled: “I Opened A Restaurant That Pays You To Eat At It” on his official Youtube channel which would’ve got over 38 million views by the time I am posting this blog.
According to their website, the stunt was pulled off on November 19, 2020, at the town of Wilson, North Carolina—just a few miles from Jimmy’s hometown of Greenville.
The video showcases thousands of people queued in their car outside MrBeast Burger restaurant.
We can clearly see that customers who are ordering were getting $100 in cash, luxury items such as iPads, AirPods, and other giveaways along with their burgers and fries, that too all for free!
The most surprising moment (timestamp 6.36) was when a customer said that her vehicle had been dented while she was waiting, and guess what, MrBeast gave her a brand new Honda car.
It looks like MrBeast took the restaurant marketing to a whole new beast level.
Wonder what Burger King thinks about all of this.
The craze for MrBeast Burger caused mile-long traffic to line up outside his restaurant, which eventually led the police to intervene to control the queue and Jimmy decided to shut the shop for the day.

Although, the actual reason behind this Beast stunt was not for getting more likes and subscribers on his YouTube page but to make a small donation on every order to a charity that aids in feeding hungry families all across the country.
MrBeast Burger operates out of existing restaurant kitchens, allowing restaurateurs to add a new source of revenue without impacting the operation. A portion of each sale goes to food relief charities across the country. – says MrBeast
