With a focus on mobile ordering and curbside pick-up, the new designs embrace a new way of serving visitors by offering drive-in and walk-up order areas, curbside pick-up areas, an enhanced drive-thru experience, exterior dining spaces, and sustainable design elements.</p>

<p>The new design was created by Restaurant Brands International's in-house design team. "The designs we’ve created completely integrate restaurant functionality and technology. The restaurant of the tomorrow merges the best functional technology with unique modern design to elevate our <em>Burger King</em> guest experience,” said Rapha Abreu, Global Head of Design at Restaurant Brands International in a statement. “We designed the interior and exterior spaces like we had a blank sheet of paper, designing without preconceived notions of how a <em>Burger King </em>restaurant should look."</p>

As the global population surges towards a predicted 9.1 billion people by 2050, western tastes for diets rich in meat and dairy products are unsustainable, says the report from United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) international panel of sustainable resource management.</p></em><br /><br /><p>"Professor Edgar Hertwich, the lead author of the report, said: 'Animal products cause more damage than [producing] construction minerals such as sand or cement, plastics or metals.
