Mumbai: BK Café by Burger King India is ushering in the New Year with an innovative twist that blends age-old tradition with cutting-edge technology. Introducing “Coffee Fortunes,” a unique campaign that allows coffee enthusiasts to uncover their 2025 fortunes through the patterns in their coffee foam. Inspired by the ancient art of Turkish coffee reading and powered by AI, this engaging initiative is set to make New Year celebrations at BK Café both memorable and fun.
Running from December 28, 2024, to January 3, 2025, the “Coffee Fortunes” campaign offers an interactive experience for guests. By simply ordering a coffee, stirring it, sipping, and snapping a photo of the foam, participants can upload the image to the dedicated microsite (bkcafecoffeefortunes.com). The AI analyses the foam patterns and generates personalized fortunes, combining the mystique of tradition with the precision of modern technology.
Guests can share their fortunes on social media to win a complimentary Cold Coffee, turning this playful activity into a delightful New Year celebration.
Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing Officer at Burger King India, expressed his excitement about the campaign, stating, “At BK Café, we believe every cup of coffee tells a story, and this New Year, we’re taking that to the next level with ‘Coffee Fortunes.’ Inspired by an age-old tradition, integrated with the latest tech to create a memorable and engaging experience for our guests.
