About HJ's

1971

THE BEGINNING

Jack Cowin, our founder and still our biggest shareholder, opened our first restaurant in Innaloo, Perth in 1971.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Hungry Jack’s success is not rocket science. It comes down to serving good food, employing great people and serving strong communities. And doing it all with real integrity.

NO TO FAKE

NO TO FAKE

KEEPING IT REAL

There is nothing fake about Hungry Jack’s food. That’s why we only use cage free, freshly cracked eggs. Every change to our menu is based on what our customers want, like our gourmet Grill Masters burger range, and our switch from traditional fries to thick cut chips.

FUN FACT

HERITAGE WINS

As well as being a proud Aussie company Hungry Jack’s is the master Australian franchise of the Burger King Corporation. But for reasons too boring to go into here, in 1991 the Burger King Corporation opened it’s doors in NSW under the Burger King trademark. Three confusing years later everyone agreed that the power of a single Aussie brand and the 30 year heritage of the Hungry Jack’s trademark was the best solution.

SERVICE

WITH A SMILE

Hungry Jack’s employs over 19,000 Australians. And every one of them, from the youngest part-time crew member to the most senior regional manager, shares a little bit of the Hungry Jack’s DNA: the bit that makes us want to put smiles on peoples’ faces every day.

REAL FOOD MADE FRESH

At Hungry Jack's we use only the freshest ingredients. We strive to work with the best suppliers in Australia to deliver premium, authentic flavours. The Burgers are Better.
