McDonald'svsBurger King Receipt
Both are fast-food classics, both use 80mm thermal POS receipts, both bundle combos as parent + sub-line items. But the survey URLs, loyalty programs, and a few signature codes (KS at McDonald's) make each format distinctly recognizable.
Side-by-side comparison
Detailed differences
McDonald's prints a kitchen status code
McDonald's prints a 'KS' code (1-2 digits) for kitchen routing — this is a small detail unique to McDonald's POS systems. Burger King doesn't have an equivalent code.
Survey codes are very different
McDVoice uses a 26-character code (5 groups of 5 digits + check digit). MyBKExperience uses a simpler 10-digit code. Generating the right format for the right brand is the easiest authenticity tell.
Loyalty currencies are different scales
MyMcDonald's Rewards uses a 100-points-per-dollar model (so a $5 meal earns 500 points). Royal Perks (Burger King) uses 10 Crowns per dollar. Don't mix the units when recreating a receipt.
Which template should you use?
Pick McDonald's

Use McDonald's templatePick Burger King
Use Burger King for Whopper combos, Royal Perks tracking, or fast food receipts that should reference "MyBKExperience" surveys.
