How To Become a Registered Burger King Corporation Diverse Supplier:

One practical way to showcase our commitment to diversity is by providing our teams with easy access to information on all registered diverse suppliers on BKC’s Supplier Diversity Database.

In order to become a registered vendor on the BKC Supplier Diversity Database, please read and follow the steps and guidelines outlined below:

Step 1: Do you qualify as a minority or woman-owned business?

A Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women Business Enterprise (WBE) is a business venture that is at least 51% owned and controlled by a minority or woman, respectively.

For the purposes of the BKC’s Supplier Diversity Database, a vendor

  • Can be of African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian Pacific American or Asian Indian American descent

  • Must be a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident

  • Must be certified by a third party certifying agency accepted by BKC such as a regional office of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) or National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC).

Step 2: Obtaining Third Party Certification

Third party certification is a pre-condition to doing business with BKC as part of our Supplier Diversity Program.

BKC’s preferred method of certification is through a regional affiliate of the NMSDC (www.nmsdc.org) for MBEs, and the WBENC (www.wbenc.org) or the NWBOC (www.nwboc.org) for WBEs.

Step 3: Registration Process for Burger King Corporation’s Supplier Diversity Database

If you have third-party certification as an MBE or WBE, we invite you to register in our Supplier Diversity Database. This sourcing database is available to those in the BURGER KING® system involved in developing supplier relationships.

Please note: Registering your minority or woman-owned company in our Supplier Diversity Database does not, in any way, constitute an official approval of your company, services or products. Furthermore, the completion and submission of this form is not a guarantee of business.

If you are registering for the first time, click the “New Registration” button below to continue. If you have previously registered and want to update or make changes to your information, click the “Update / Continue Registration” button below. Your completed questionnaire will assist our team in evaluating your firm’s capabilities relative to the needs within the BURGER KING® system.



Additionally, as a condition of database registration, we request that you report to us your company's sales to the BURGER KING® System.
