In-and-Out burgers are the best of the chain burgers. Their employess can speak English as their primary language. I have not heard of their employees spitting in the food for purposes of expressing “rage” for being our slaves 150 years ago. Generally, their employess do not have the flag of a foreign country on their cars or tattoed on their person. Their places are clean. Their food tastes good and is reasonably priced. In short, the business should be a welcome addition to Texas life.

You are correct.

First of all, the cooking process is entirely in view of the customers, so they can’t tamper with the food.

Secondly, they have a very strict hiring process. They pay well for a burger joint. The order takers have to be very intelligent and organized.

They are a great company with great quality food. And they have a great business model: burgers and fries. That’s it.

No chicken, no salads, etc. Just burgers.

In-and-Out famously pays their crews higher wages than the rest of the fast food chains, which means they are able to recruit and retain a better class of employee. Starting pay these days is $10/hr. The average fast food employee works someplace less than a year. The average In-and-Out employee stays over two, and their policy of training and promotion means that 80% of their managers started as crew.

And they do all this with the simplest menu of any fast food chain. They sell hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double hamburgers, double cheeseburgers, fries, shakes and soda. And that's it.
