The Burg is exactly the same, but is made with a single patty. [7] The Times of India described The Big Burg as the company's "equivalent of the Big Mac". [8] Burgs sells some burgers which are compatible with a Jain diet. [9]

Following the opening of the first outlet in Bandra, Burgs opened two more outlets, one each in Mumbai and Pune. Burgs opened its fourth outlet in Carter Road, Bandra on 21 February 2013. [10] A 1200 sq ft outlet, the fourth in Mumbai and fifth overall was opened in R City Mall, Ghatkopar in July 2013. [11] This was Burgs first outlet in a Mumbai mall. The company plans to have 200 stores in India by 2023. [3] [12]

As far back as the 1970s, international fast food restaurant chain Burger King has attempted to introduce a premium line of burgers.

This program is intended to bring in a larger, more affluent adult audience who will be willing to spend more on the better quality products on one side while maintaining a lower cost value menu dedicated to a more cost-conscious audience on the other. The hope is that the customers would be drawn in initially for the lower prices of the value-menu and upgrade to the more expensive products, upping overall sales.
