Prices on their own only tell half the story. A cheaper bucket isn’t better value if it has fewer pieces, and a burger that costs R10 less might be half the size. So each comparison looks at three things: the menu price, what you actually get for it (piece counts, patty sizes and sides), and the meal deals that change the maths.
We use the same current prices you’ll find on each chain’s menu page on this site, so the numbers always match. Where two chains sell something similar, like a 2-piece meal or a family bucket, we line them up item by item. Where they don’t, we explain the closest equivalent. Prices vary between stores and change with promotions, so treat each comparison as a guide and check your local branch before you order.
