I had an idea once for a hamburger chain.

Make your own burger!
You get the patty from the clerk in a sanitary container, then you proceed to a salad bar type set up where you get different types of buns and the makings of the burger, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, etc., and put whatever you want on it in however much.

That would be Fudruckers. Try one if it's in your area.

You might like FuddRuckers although it isn’t quite fast food.

They do that in canada and it’s called Harvey’s. However, you tell the counter dude how much relish, pickles etc you want on it.

7-11 had that in the mid-1980’s. 50 cents each for the burger. It was where everyone would go after the bar closed. The girls would buy one burger and make a HUGE salad with the fixins, while the boys would grab 5 or 6, toss half the buns, and mow down.

Good times, good times...

One word: Fuddruckers! They toast the bun, cook various sizes and types of patties to order, add cheese if required, then you build the burger from their various condiments.
