BurgerFi: A Unique Experience

BurgerFi Logo

Made from fresh, never frozen, all natural, grass fed beef, the burgers at BurgerFi are both unique and delicious.  For those who are vegetarian, BurgerFi offers a mouth watering, unique quinoa burger with an option of having it on lettuce or a whole wheat bun. BurgerFi is a fastest growing franchise in the country started by Mr. John Rosatti.  Having only opened the first store a few years ago, BurgerFi now has more than fifty worldwide locations and two-hundred stores sold. BurgerFi is very environmentally sustainable with many earth-friendly elements, including tables made out of compressed recycled wood, chairs made from recycled coke bottles, and large fans that use 66% less electricity than normal fans.

BurgerFi SmartCar

From a PR and marketing standpoint, BurgerFi is very well to do. The way BurgerFi uses advertisement really draws you in to their locations. Not only does BurgerFi attract customers through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but they also have a large semi truck that delivers SmartCar's to new stores that are opening. The BurgerFi burger is not complete without a branded bun. The bun helps signify the real BurgerFi burger. Just recently BurgerFi partnered with the Suncoast High School Culinary Club and Autism Speaks to put on the Make a Burger, Make a Friend event. The purpose of this event was to create compassion and a connection among teens and teens with Autism. This experience has encouraged teens to reach out to others who are different than them. BurgerFi cares about the well-being of others.

Branded, BurgerFi Burger

In addition to charity events, BurgerFi welcomed back all Rollins students by giving them a coupon for a free frozen custard to start off the new year. Also, if you tag BurgerFi in an instagram at one of their many locations, they will give you a free frozen custard. BurgerFi has recently created iPhone cases and wristbands, which I always see being given away. As mentioned before, BurgerFi has many locations. The location of the BurgerFi on Park Avenue was chosen very well. Located on the corner of Park Ave. and Fairbanks, it can be seen from all directions and is very accessible by cars. bikes, and pedestrians. The logo on the outside of the store really draws you in. Not to mention, the bright lime green and grey outdoor seating they offer. Once you walk into the restaurant, you are blown away by the menus. They are presented on large flat screen televisions. The menu continues to be written in the bright lime green and grey font with flows very well throughout the entire restaurant.
All food and beverages on the BurgerFi menu are delicious. The price of a BurgerFi burger is a steal for which the quality it is. An average price of a burger and veggie burger ranges from six to seven dollars. For those that do not like burgers they have hot dogs, which go great with the fires or colossal onion rings. The price of hot dogs and onion rings are about four dollars and french fries are around three. Not to mention the concrete, which everyone raves about is five dollars. The menu also includes alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. The overall BurgerFi experience is great! From the decor to the food, BurgerFi is a must.

3 Business Cards

1.  Hair and Make-Up Artist Business Card

I really enjoyed this card because the bobby pins create texture which enables the hair to stand out. I think having all the information on one side catches your attention and helps you concentrate on the cards message. 

2. Plastic Business Card

This business card's message is simple and to the point. I like the clear plastic because it shows how durable it is. The two colors and large bold font attract the eye. 

3. Graphic Designer Business Card

This card's text is on an angle which makes it very unique. The design is very artsy. The symbols of the phone, mail, and house are very creative. The designs both in the background and on the back draw attention to the eye. 

Personal Story

Hello,

            After thinking about a brand and what I could use to describe myself, I have decided my brand is still incomplete. My brand is something that is both growing and changing everyday. I believe my brand is made up of my views of life, my interests, and my family. If someone were to have a first impression of me I have been told I am shy.  Also, people have told me I appear bitchy.  Little do they know I am only shy when I first get to know some one. Once I feel comfortable with someone I am my normal, silly self. To me, my normal self is outgoing, compassionate, and high-spirited. I would like to portray myself to others as someone who is outgoing, trustworthy, and loving. Someone who is looking to live each moment in life to the fullest. Someone who does not put up with bullshit from others.  Someone who enjoys the company of others and making people laugh.  I am happy when other people are happy. I want others to feel how lucky I am to have the life I am living each and everyday. I am so thankful for the life that I have been given. 

Little cousin, Brain, in search for the Golden Egg

            For you to know a little about me. I am from a large extended family in Winnetka, Illinois.  To me my family is the most important thing I have in my life. I am very fortunate to live so close to all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Growing up and going to both grade school and high school with my cousins was always very fun. Everyone was there to cheer me on in games, which was always very special. I always knew they were there because they sat and yelled in the same corner each and every game. I am thankful to be apart of the many traditions we share together. One tradition that means a lot to me and helps to explain my family the best is the Easter Egg Hunt at my cousins house in Palm Beach, Florida. Everyone is after all the money eggs, especially the golden egg. I have never won the golden egg, or will have any change of winning it due to my older, competitive male cousins.

Oldest of three

          As a young child, my brother and I have been very involved in sports. I began playing both soccer and basketball with the encouragement from my father. My father has devoted much of his time and energy to teach us the game, which allowed both of us to see his passion for both life and sports. The commitment and and involvement in sports have been a large part of my life.  Sports from a young age have taught me one of the most important lessons in life: organization of time. Being involved in both busy sports schedules and school has allowed me to recognize the amount of time it takes to be both a well-rounded student and athlete.  Even though I decided to not play a sport in college, I have found other ways to become involved. Joining a sorority was a great decision. I consider every girl in my sorority my sister. The love and support they give me helps to shape who I am. Knowing I can trust each of these girls and count on them for anything is very comforting to me. They are my team. They are my family. I am so fortunate to be apart of  Kappa Delta. This is my brand.

Birthday celebration in Palm Beach with my sisters!
