Coca-Cola unites foodservice partners in latest campaign

And a Coke campaign launching in cinemas, extensions to come

Coca-Cola is bringing together several of its foodservice partners to celebrate the iconic phrase that has been echoed at counters and in drive-thrus across America for 140 years: “… and a Coke.”

Coca-Cola is debuting its new U.S. campaign, “And a Coke,” built on a the cultural norm that nothing completes a meal like a Coke, the company says. The effort reinforces the brand’s leadership in foodservice while celebrating the role it plays in everyday dining moments.

For the first time ever, Coca-Cola has united several of its iconic foodservice partners into a single national campaign: Arby’s, Culver’s, Domino’s, Five Guys, Jack in the Box, Jimmy John’s, Panda Express, Popeyes, Sonic, Wendy’s, Whataburger, White Castle and Wingstop. This collaboration marks both a Coca-Cola first and a broader industry milestone. 

The campaign features three TV spots inspired by how people really order, eat and connect with their favorite restaurant brands. From TikTok-fueled hacks and fan-favorite customizations to the late-night cravings that sometimes come with everyday rhythms of life on the go, the films reflect the overly personalized, highly expressive ways consumers order.

Each spot builds to a shared, recognizable finish — “And a Coke”— reinforcing the final, essential step that completes the meal. The campaign launches in cinemas April 3, with extensions rolling out across linear, digital, social and in food delivery platforms including Uber Eats and DoorDash starting mid-April.

“Foodservice has always been at the heart of Coca-Cola’s story, from our origins at a single soda fountain to the extensive scale at which we operate today across North America,” said Dagmar Boggs, president of foodservice and on-premise for North America at The Coca-Cola Co., Atlanta. “With ‘And a Coke,’ we’re celebrating the role Coca-Cola plays in completing the meal ― an iconic final touch experienced every day through our partners and consumers.”

Together, these partners represent approximately $65.95 billion in 2024 sales, citing The 2025 Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report, which underscores the scale and reach of the campaign with tens of thousands of restaurant locations and millions of consumer touchpoints every day, the company says. The collaboration is rooted in deep, longstanding relationships: nine of the featured brands have been exclusive Coca-Cola partners for more than 30 years, and together the group represents more than 550 cumulative years of partnership. 

Foodservice has been central to Coca-Cola’s story from the beginning. Born in a single fountain in 1886 at Jacob’s Pharmacy in Atlanta, that heritage continues. Today, Coca-Cola is available in the U.S. market across more than 500,000 foodservice locations, including restaurants, hotels, movie theaters and amusement parks.

The “And a Coke” campaign arrives at a critical moment, reinforcing the importance of beverages in driving satisfaction, customization and loyalty. As the foodservice industry evolves, with more than half of every food dollar expected to be spent in foodservice by 2030, “And a Coke” underscores the role beverages play in completing the meal and helping drive restaurant growth, the company says.
