To mark the opening of the Bateau Bay store — which cost nearly $2 million to set up — on the Central Coast, the first 50 people through the doors at 10am will get a book of vouchers to eat free for a year.

Nah more like Hungry Jacks/Burger King.
Their advertising is famous for being slutty though.
@tsunamisurfer: I apologise to any fast food restaurants offended by my words.
I should have gone with "classy" , you're right. http://youtu.be/g-qkoyiYs38
Very raunchy more so than slutty…. too many over sensitive p/c whingers these days. Look forward to giving them a go!
It is not really like hooters just the ads have models in them.
Wow! What a great offer. Get to it.
What an awesome set of burgers.
Carl's Jr… "#%$@ You, I'm Eating."
+1 for the obscure Idiocracy reference!
One of my all time favourite 'guaranteed to get me a laugh' go to movie.
I've always thought of it as overrated and for some reason pita atheists appear to think both it's a phrophecy for the future and that seeing this makes them very intelligent.
Mike Judge has publically called people like this utter morons lel.
But its got electrolytes
People already queuing up. Probably expired by now.
people will already be queuing if it was near me i would be …free food for a year …why wouldn't you.
why wouldn't you
- Weight gain.
- Heart disease.
- Diabetes.
•Delicious burgers
My positive outweighs your negative ;)
Hey, if you have good use for the food, no problem. But it's not something most of us can get away with without seriously damaging our health.
They have salad too! ;-)
You don't win friends with salad.
Is it deep fried?
Well I for one value my time a lot more than free hamburgers for a year (even if it is Carl's Jr.). Sleeping on the street plus lining up for 20 hours or so is definitely not worth it to me. Each to their own of course!
You must be new to Ozbargain!
free food for 1 year to inconvenience yourself for 1 day? …seems like a good deal in my books. grab a camping chair and get comfy
I did say each to their own, it really wasn't a sarcastic response to your question. I was just explaining why I personally wouldn't (which was your question?). Don't understand the neg votes really just because I wouldn't camp out all night for 20+ hours for free hamburger vouchers lol.
I can see that your time is amazingly valuable to you because you took the time to make an off-topic post to inform complete strangers that you won't be doing what they're doing due to your time being so valuable.
Great use of your time, so much value. Just kidding: Earnings: 0
Wow, touchy aren't we? If you took the time to pay attention, my response was a reply to Scorpweb's question: '…free food for a year …why wouldn't you'. It wasn't just an out of the blue comment. Keyboard warriors galore out in force though, good on you!
dat's the Central Coast for yah
+1 for the picture
Was going to say that too.
Free food for a year and you posted on OZBargain??? This will not end well LOL!
Most of the clicks I assume are from the people who want a good look at those two good looking sorts.
Guess their marketing strategy works then!
they looked better as a thumbnail.
Wonder why they chose the Central Coast for the location of their first store in Australia? Would of have thought somewhere in Sydney metro area would get much higher traffic of customers, unless they are just testing the waters and don't want to be overwhelmed.
Read an article that 63% of the local population is overweight, maybe they are goiing for an easy market to start off with?
It's a "pilot" store where they can make mistakes with a new venture and get away with it. In a busy metro area it would be too much of an ask to have to "ramp up" so quickly and potentially ruin their reputation for future store rollouts.
Also lets staff and store managers to cut their teeth at a small regional store before being ready to move on to high volume metro stores.
The site used to be a Red Rooster. They've used the same slab, parking and I guess most of the major plumbing would have been there already too.

Cool post. Have enjoyed eating at Carl's Jr. while I was staying over in the Philippines. About time Straya is getting one, at least. Now I wonder when the Illawarra is getting one?
Is this like Carl Jr in USA charcoal grilled burgers ?
When are they coming to Melbourne ?
Think Melbourne is generally one of the last places chains like these go to, as it tends to be a bit snobbish about food. Hence Sizzler still exists in parts of Sydney and Queensland, but hasn't been seen in Melbourne in decades. Plus they'd be up against countless new wanky hipster burger joints in Melbourne.
HTFU princess
Just drove past and there were about 30 people there. I wouldn't bother.
but 20 more people should bother…
Are you sure it was 30 people or just 15 really fat ones?
And if they don't fit through the door, they can't claim the offer. There's still hope.
If it's coupons how many …3 burgers per day or 1 per week so you eat responsibly?
1 coupon per burger
any pics of the queue? interested to see who turned up
I heard Craig Thomson was still hanging around his old electorate office and in need of a feed.
Im guessing if you drive a Mr Whippy van you know where to go …. fish in barrel
nice promo…people will probably die from consuming that much junk food but still….. nice promo! :P
Franchise owner Lindsay Brennan said he was expecting a big line-up of people for the historic opening day.
"historic". Uh yeah no
We are going to need some before and after photos please voucher winners..
wow its hard enough finding a Carls Jr outside of CA and NV, I wonder what made them come downunder? Always enjoyed the free soda refills, a godsend on 40c days in Vegas.
I always used to hangout at this joint for a cheap feed. Believe it or not they actually serve salads, though the person taking my order spent about a minute or so finding that option on the cash register, and another 5minutes digging out the salads from god-knows-where.
lemme guess…..coleslaw smothered in mayo, potato salad smothered in mayo…etc :P
They've been in Singapore for a few years now.
There quite a few in Auckland already. Not quite down under, but close enough.
Sorry to say, but you have failed your geography… NZ have more right to say they are down under than Australia for sure!
Would you consider Argentina down under? The bottom tip is even more South.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_Under
Down under is a specific phrase referring to Australia.
"The term comes from the fact that the countries are in the Southern Hemisphere, 'below' many other countries on the globe" - quote from Wikipedia
I do apologise if I was being rude, but I just thought they have every right to call themselves from 'down under' if they want to.
no its quite lean, they give you a stack of sauces to chose from, i usually went for balsamic vinegar and used about half the satchel. You could get mayo if so desired. It was actually a decent serving for I think $2-3 which wont buy you shit in australia.
What could possibly go wrong…..
Yeah, spending 2mil on the first Oz store in the central coast makes so much more sense than a George st, Sydney.
Why don't they just burn the money to save time before going into liquidation.
Morons
They're testing the waters and tweaking the formula before expanding into Sydney. Calm the eff down.
They have a store on Queen St/Auckland, and while the Sydney market is different to Auckland. Don't really think they need to go to the Central Coast to test the waters. Its probably because they were the first franchise to sign up, and thats it. Not for market testing etc.
The whole point of buying into a franchise is that it's a standardized system that doesn't need tweaking.
Everything rolls down from corporate. There is no leeway or 'tweaking'. Franchisees have to adhere to these standards or they are out and this will be part of the franchisee agreement.
And they are still morons.
y u mad tho
You Sydneysiders think the whole world revolves around Sydney.
The fact is nobody gives a shit about Sydney!
There's a world outside Sydney?
Oh you mean the Hunter Valley.
Don't you mean the Valley of Death.
Australia's first? The country is so behind….
Wow!! Free obesity for a year.. I'm sold!!
woulds you like coronary disease and type 2 diabetes with your order…? :D
I wish 5 Guys would open here. Now that is an amazing burger.
I'm holding out for In-and-Out and Habit
Chipotle.
Great burgers, but "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" just sounds like a gay porno to me
so anyone in line awaiting the frenzy?
BY the response here if you lived in Sydney sounds like you'd have half a chance at scoring a years worth of food, not one reply of anyone who attended.
They're too busy eating a years worth of burgers.
mouth……full………cant………talk………….
i missed this post, drove past in the morning and saw tradies and assumed it wasn't open yet otherwise i wouldve been there instead of maccas
So it's basically like Hooters?
