Burger King has been praised by customers for announcing that it will use its social media platforms to promote independent restaurants, which have been impacted by Covid-19 restrictions. The fast food chain took to Twitter last night to explain its decision to temporarily stop promoting items from its own menu. As part of the #WhopperAndFriends initiative, Burger Kign will give free social media advertising to independent restaurants that have to shut in Tier 3 areas. Responses to the announcement have gushed about the 'generous initiative' and said they hope more businesses will join in, as restaurants in Tier 3 close their doors unless they can offer takeaway.
