Overall, Burger King has expanded abroad later than its primary rival, McDonald's, resulting in both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, later entry is a drawback in very small markets due to an inadequate number of suppliers, such as only one slaughterhouse whose owners may be unwilling to work with more than one customer On the other hand, a late entry in larger markets may benefit from the product demand and supply infrastru created by earier entrants. In some later entry markets, Burger taste has been able to concentrate almost entirely on emphasizing its product(HAVE IT YOUR l good of flame-broiled burgers) without incurring early development costs. For instance, in Latin America and the Caribbean, McDonald's and Burger King compete in almost all countries and territories, with Burger King currently leading in the number of restaurants in about half of those markets.
