Who's winning the digital CX race in Australian fast food?
We audited 16 leading fast-food & QSR brands on two axes: 110 functionality criteria for what they've built, and 48 experience-quality checkpoints for how well it's executed. See who leads, who's chasing, and why the app — not the website — now decides the experience.
A look inside the report
A snippet of the full 28-page report — where 16 fast-food and QSR brands rank on functionality and experience, why the leaders win, and the exact moves that win the app-first customer. A competitive edge for your product and design teams — from someone who formerly built these audits in-house, who's now independent and brand-agnostic.
Everything in the report, section by section
You've seen a sample — here is every section in full: both axes of the benchmark, the patterns behind them, and what to do next.
- 01
Two leaderboards
All 16 brands ranked twice: on functionality coverage and on experience quality. The order reshuffles, and the gap between them is where the field is won.
- 02
Category & framework
Six categories — burgers, chicken, pizza, Mexican, beverages and healthy — plus the UX framework groups from usability to accessibility, so you compare against your real peers.
- 03
Two-axis scoring
110 functionality criteria plus 48 experience-quality checkpoints, each scored with evidence and a confidence level.
- 04
Five industry shifts
The web as a billboard, omnichannel ordering as table-stakes, loyalty everywhere, the app-quality split, and the accessibility debt.
- 05
Industry blind spots
Accessibility and the unused trust levers: open whitespace for a first mover.
- 06
2026–28 predictions
Where QSR UX heads next, so your roadmap is ahead of the curve, not behind it.
One source of truth, four ways to use it
Whoever you are, the benchmark turns straight into the work you already plan and defend each year.
See exactly where you rank. Know your position against the leading brands, which table-stakes you're missing, and where a single fix moves the needle on the customer experience.
Plan your roadmap on evidence. Benchmark the leading brands, prioritise the UX and dev backlog, and justify what makes the cut with data your stakeholders trust, before the table-stakes gaps cost you a customer.
Make the case, focus the testing. Build the business case for UX investment, set your annual OKRs against the field, and point testing at the experiences that matter most to customers.
Market intelligence you can act on. Account-level insight into how every brand performs, to sharpen your pitch, prove the gap, and fuel your own thought leadership.

The benchmark is half the picture
This report shows the tangible: what each brand has built, and who leads. The bigger gains come from the intangible, the motivations, friction and emotion only customers can voice. That is a CX User Study, and Jackdraw runs it three ways.
CX Survey Script
A ready-to-run questionnaire mapped to this benchmark's themes, productised through our Audit Survey Tool. Lowest effort, fastest signal: field it on your own platform and hear directly from customers.
Bespoke study design
A study designed around your specific questions and customer segments, for when an off-the-shelf script isn't enough and you need precision.
Run the full study
We field it end-to-end: a representative sample sourced for you, analysis and a readout delivered. Hands-off, statistically valid and decision-ready. Sample via a research partner, priced separately.

Evidence, not opinion
Every score in this report has a reason behind it: a page, a screen, a documented check. No vibes, no vendor spin. Just the small, telling details that separate a good experience from a great one.
Jackdraw is a Melbourne CX consultancy with 15+ years across customer and user experience, built on understanding every person an experience touches.
Good questions
What exactly do I get, and how is it delivered?
A professionally designed PDF report (five sections) plus the one-page snapshot. After purchase you'll receive a secure download link by email, instant for The Report and Team tiers.
How do you measure experience quality?
Alongside the 110 functionality criteria, every brand is scored against 48 experience-quality checkpoints drawn from 13 established UX frameworks: Nielsen, Shneiderman, Gerhardt-Powals, Fitts, Hick, Miller, Jakob, the peak-end rule, Fogg, Cialdini, Gestalt, WCAG and content design, across six groups from usability to accessibility. It's a structured expert review that predicts how an experience will land. For how customers actually feel, pair it with a CX User Study, see "Where to next" above.
What's the difference between the packages?
The Report is the benchmark itself, for one reader. Team + Readout adds a personalised review of your own site, editable slides, an internal team licence, a live readout of your brand's position, and a CX Survey Script starter. Partner adds a competitive deep-dive on five rivals of your choice, plus the right for vendors and agencies to cite the findings externally, with attribution, in pitches, proposals and content.
How current is the data, and do you update it?
The audit was run in 2026 against live sites and app-store listings. Digital experiences move fast, so we refresh every 6 months, and past buyers renew at roughly half price.
Can I see my own brand's detailed position?
Yes. The Team + Readout package includes your personalised scorecard, your gaps versus the leader, and a live 60-minute readout session. Want to go deeper? Commission a CX study, see "Where to next" above.
Do you do other industries?
