Burger Drops Inc

What Burger Drops Inc does

Burger Drops Inc is a privately held, single-location quick-service restaurant founded in 2018 and based in Toronto's Liberty Village neighborhood at 116 Atlantic Avenue. The company specializes in smash burgers and fries, offering a core menu that includes classic beef smash burgers, a housemade veggie patty, classic fries, and vegan curly fries. Burger Drops operates as a high-volume takeout concept with limited dine-in seating on a first-come, first-serve basis and a weather-permitting patio, and is open daily from 11:30AM to 10PM. The restaurant is dog-friendly and accepts a wide range of payment methods including major credit cards, debit, cash, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

The business distributes through an omnichannel mix: walk-in orders, scheduled pickup via the Ritual app, delivery through three third-party platforms (Uber Eats, SkipTheDishes, and DoorDash), on-site private catering and large-group office orders handled through a Google Forms intake, and physical gift cards sold in-store. The company has no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, and no disclosed API or AI capabilities, relying instead on standard Squarespace web infrastructure and third-party marketplace integrations. Marketing is conducted primarily through organic Instagram (handle @burgerdrops) and through listing visibility on delivery aggregators.

Burger Drops is independently owned and founder-led with no external investors, no parent company, no disclosed funding, and no subsidiaries. With 8 reported employees and no disclosed revenue, the company operates as a bootstrapped, single-store restaurant. Its customer base is exclusively individual consumers, concentrated in the Liberty Village catchment, with catering and gift cards representing modest ancillary revenue streams layered on top of the core walk-in, pickup, and delivery transactions.
