Shake Shack
US fast food chain serving burgers, hot dogs, and frozen custard, founded by Danny Meyer in New York. Shake Shack operates in Israel but has not been a primary BDS target and has no documented record of IDF military donations — a comparatively lower-profile alternative to McDonald's and Pizza Hut for fast food.

Five Guys
US burger chain founded in Arlington, Virginia, known for fresh-cooked burgers and hand-cut fries. Five Guys does not have Israeli military associations or have a documented history of providing free meals to IDF soldiers — a straightforward alternative to McDonald's (BDS target), Starbucks, and Pizza Hut (whose Israeli franchise offered free food to IDF soldiers).
