About this listen

Wendy's, the American fast-food chain, has returned to the Australian market after a previous unsuccessful attempt in the 1980s. This re-entry is spearheaded by the Flynn Restaurant Group, which holds the master franchise rights and plans to open 200 restaurants by 2034. The menu will feature classic Wendy's items alongside Australian-specific options.

Wendy's Australian menu offers a blend of its classic American favorites and items tailored to local tastes:

  • Square Beef Patties: Staying true to its unique style, Wendy's serves square-shaped beef patties, ensuring a distinctive and flavorful burger experience.
  • Spicy Chicken Sandwich: For those who enjoy a bit of heat, this sandwich features a crispy, spicy chicken fillet complemented by fresh toppings.
  • Baconator: A hearty option boasting multiple layers of bacon and beef, catering to those with a robust appetite.
  • Homestyle Chicken Tenders: Exclusive to the Australian market, these tenders are crafted from locally sourced chicken, offering both classic and spicy variations.
  • Frosty Desserts: Wendy's iconic Frosty desserts are available, providing a creamy and refreshing treat to complement any meal.


The company faces stiff competition from established brands like McDonald's but believes its unique offerings and commitment to quality will attract customers. Early reception has been positive, indicating a promising future for Wendy's in Australia.
