On this week’s BI Insights we ranked the hardest F&B platforms to scrape in 2025.
Online data has become the most actionable signal in F&B revealing what’s live, changing and actually working across platforms. This data increasingly drives decisions across aggregators, brands and restaurants.
Each year our data mining team ranks F&B platforms based on scraping difficulty, uptime consistency and resilience to automated extraction, using Burger Index’s internal analysis of 192 websites and applications scraped daily across 29 countries.
📊 What the 2025 ranking shows:
🌏 Asian platforms dominate the top spots
🎯 Many operate in just 1-5 markets, making it easier to aggressively control access
📱 Platforms are overwhelmingly app-first (often app-only), raising the technical bar far beyond web-centric scraping
⚖️ Global players must balance security with uptime and partner access across dozens of markets, increasing surface area for automation
🧠 The real takeaway
It’s not that scraping is getting harder, it’s that no one actually wants to scrape.
F&B teams want answers. Instead, they’re forced to manage scraping tools, enrichment pipelines, blocked crawlers and endless validation just to get basic visibility.
🚀 Burger Index replaces that entire stack with ready-to-use, structured growth intelligence so teams spend more time making decisions, not fixing data.
