From: Tender Bender Accountability Office
To: Hardee's Staff
Greetings,
It has come to our attention that the Tender Bender Member Offer (
BOGO Free Tenders every Tuesday) has created some worldwide buzz on social media, and guests are wondering what to expect when going on a Tender Bender.
Should someone direct a question your way, please provide these approved recommendations:
1. Tender Bender with a Friender
It is often advised that eating Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders is more fun with a friend. If they sign up for My Rewards™ they will also have the Offer in their Hardee's App right away.
2. Get Lost in the Sauce
Though the Chick'n Dippin' Sauce is an obvious choice, please advise guests they may also choose from Buffalo, Ranch, Honey Mustard, and BBQ. They may try more than one.
3. Save Room for Sides
Fries, Cinnamon 'N' Raisin Biscuits, and Apple Turnovers are ideal Tender Bender accompaniments. Ordering multiple sides on a Tender Bender is approved and encouraged.
4. Balance Your Bender
If Tenders are hitting too good, a milkshake (chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry) provides the perfect counterbalance to all that crispy, savory goodness.
5. Timing is Everything
Peak Tender Bender hours are after 11AM. Plan accordingly for optimal Goodness.
Next scheduled Tender Bender is today, November 18, 2025.
