Black Star Burger
Black Star Burger is a Russian chain of fast food restaurants. Burgers are run by Black Star Foods.

History 
The first restaurant of the Black Star Burger chain opened on September 16, 2016 in Moscow on Novy Arbat. Investments in its opening amounted to 20 million rubles (and "recaptured the money", according to one of the founders, in just three months). The queue formed at the opening of the restaurant was included in the Russian Book of Records "for the largest number of people dancing in it" (the size of this "dancing queue" was 668 people).

Burger shops have made black disposable gloves that come with burgers in order not to get their hands dirty when eating as their "calling card".

At the end of March 2017, a second restaurant was opened on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in Moscow.

On September 19, 2017, a restaurant was opened in Grozny on Putin Avenue, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov took part in the opening ceremony. Subsequently, this restaurant was transferred to Chechen entrepreneurs Movsadi Alviev and his partner Akhmad Aidamirov, and Timati's Black Star Foods company completely went out of business in Chechnya.

In July 2017, Pavel Kuryanov, CEO of the Black Star holding, argued that the network would become the leader in terms of financial results for the year, which should exceed 1 billion rubles.

In 2023, Black Star Burger created an exclusive Spring Vibe burger for March 8 in collaboration with Yandex.Eda. Yuriy Levitas, co-owner of the Black Star Burger restaurant chain, commented on the cooperation as follows:

Menu 
The Black Star Burger menu includes several types of burgers (from 77 rubles to 1090 rubles) from halal beef or turkey meat, chicken wings, french fries.

There is also a separate line of premium Black Angus marbled beef burgers.

Reviews 
Forbes criticizes the franchise for the fact that: "the franchisor's promises do not always coincide with reality: the initial investment often goes beyond what was announced, and the profits of the partners surveyed by Forbes do not even reach the lower limit of the figures prescribed in the business plan".
