You can really have it your way at Whataburger. They have more than 36,864 different ways to make a Whataburger with special requests like grilled onions, jalapenos, triple meat and extra cheese.

The company continues to pride itself on top-notch customer service today by delivering each customer's burger made-to-order, like those of Whataburger fan Joe Martinez.

"Fifteen years ago I started ordering a Whataburger with cheese on a toasted wheat bun with grilled onions and jalapenos," said Martinez. "Colleagues even know what I'm going to order for lunch before they ask."

Specific orders like Martinez's are common and provide golden opportunities for Whataburger's hospitality-focused burger building professionals who memorize regular customers' orders and routinely execute special requests like extra pickles, add mayonnaise, extra crispy bacon and grilled onions or jalapenos.

The ordering process starts with customers choosing their meat. Customers can choose from four options: a four-ounce Whataburger patty or two-ounce Whataburger Jr. patty made from 100 percent pure American beef or grilled chicken or breaded Whatachick'n. Customers can also add double or triple meat.

Next, customers can choose from four bread options. Choices include Whataburger's larger-than-industry-standard five-inch white or wheat bun, Texas toast or a smaller, four-inch white bun. Customers can also request the bun toasted or not. All of Whataburger's bread is baked fresh and delivered to each restaurant five times a week, a standard normally reserved for grocery stores.

Customers then select the condiments for their burger which sets Whataburger apart because of their extraordinary freshness and proprietary recipes. Customers can choose from mayonnaise, mustard or Whataburger's proprietary Fancy Ketchup that inspires its own fan following on Facebook.

Finally, add on some fresh, crisp vegetables: lettuce (chopped fresh each day after arriving in every restaurant as full heads of lettuce), tomatoes (sliced fresh daily), pickles and onions. Extras like cheese, jalapenos and bacon give the burger's flavor a kick and personality all its own.
