Why More QSR Brands Should Be Selling Merch

Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) have always been masters at branding. From catchy slogans to iconic packaging, the strongest QSR brands don’t just serve food, they serve a feeling. And now, more than ever, they have the opportunity to turn that feeling into something tangible: branded merchandise.

At Merchr, we’ve just started production on the first orders for our latest partner, Chopstix. With manga-inspired designs and playful pun-based products, Chopstix is showing the full potential of what a QSR brand can do when it taps into the power of print-on-demand.

So, why should other QSR brands follow suit?

🍔 1. Your Brand Already Has a Fanbase

Loyal customers don’t just love your menu, they love your vibe. Whether it’s late-night cravings or midweek comfort meals, your brand becomes part of people’s routines. Offering merch gives fans a way to rep your brand beyond the tray liner.

Hoodies, mugs and totes – they all become extensions of your identity. And if you’ve got a strong look and tone (which most QSRs do), you’ve already done half the work.

🚀 2. Merch Creates a New Revenue Stream (Without Overhead)

Merchr’s print-on-demand model means no bulk buying, no storage, and no risk. Every item is printed only when ordered and shipped directly to the customer. That means:

  • Zero inventory

  • No upfront cost

  • No fulfilment hassle

♻️ 3. Sustainability That Scales

QSRs are under increasing pressure to demonstrate sustainability, and rightly so. Print-on-demand is a leaner, greener model that avoids overproduction and excess waste. Every item is made to order, meaning your merch operation is environmentally conscious from day one.

It’s a story your customers care about, and it’s one worth telling.

📦 4. Speed, Style, and Simplicity

Our design and production teams worked closely with Chopstix to turn their brand into a fun, wearable range. Merchr takes care of:

  • Design – bespoke graphics that match your brand

  • Store setup – your own custom-branded merch store

  • Printing & fulfilment – orders printed and shipped as they come in

  • Support – we’re here from concept to customer

The result? A merch experience that’s on-brand, on-demand, and unbelievably easy to run.

Whether you’re a national chain or a growing independent, your QSR brand is more than a meal; it’s a lifestyle. And merch is the next step in owning that space.
