In-N-Out also serves up the happiest employees in the industry, survey says
A new survey is highlighting a restaurant chain that provides service with a smile. In-N-Out Burger has claimed the top spot for having the happiest employees among America's major restaurant chains. Financial services company William Blair investigated Glassdoor data from the past 11 years, evaluating 530,000 reviews with about 90 different restaurant brands, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The firm found that 91% of In-N-Out employees would recommend their job to a friend. George Charlesworth, vice president of operations for In-N-Out Burger, told Fox News Digital that the California-based chain is honored 'to be recognized with such a high satisfaction rating, a result that comes directly from our associate family.' 'Our founders, Harry and Esther Snyder, focused on serving the freshest, highest-quality products and providing the friendliest service to our customers,' he also said. 'From our beginning in 1948, the Snyders wanted to take the best care of not only our customers but also our associates.' This marks the 10th year that the fast-food chain has landed in the top 10 for highest employee satisfaction. In-N-Out Burger has the happiest employees among American restaurant chains, according to a new survey. Getty Images In 2024, 86% of In-N-Out employees were willing to recommend their job to others. Charlesworth credited the leadership of In-N-Out owner and president Lynsi Snyder. 'We're committed to offering a positive work environment, higher starting wages, great benefits and opportunities to develop and grow,' Charlesworth said. 'Many of our associates have been with In-N-Out for decades, carrying the time-honored values and practices established by our founders, ensuring every customer and burger is consistently served with the In-N-Out signature smile,' he also said. 'We are deeply grateful for our exceptional family of associates and thankful for the excellent job they do.' Coming in second place was Louisiana-based chicken joint Raising Cane's. About 82% of employees reported they would recommend their job to a friend. In third place was Dutch Bros., with Chuy's taking fourth place. Rounding out the top five is San Francisco Bay area-based Peet's Coffee & Tea. Fox News Digital reached out to William Blair for comment.

These 10 restaurant chains have the happiest workers, study finds
Among the nation's major restaurant chains, In-N-Out is still supreme when it comes to the satisfaction of its workers, according to a new study. The California-based burger chain took the top spot for a 10th straight year, according to an analysis by William Blair, an investment bank and financial services company. The annual report spans 11 years and is built on over 530,000 reviews of almost 90 restaurant brands, according to Nation's Restaurant News. This year's study found that when they weren't serving up Double-Doubles and Animal-Style fries, 91 percent of In-N-Out workers would recommend the job to a friend. The percentage marked a 5 percent jump from last year's study, according to industry publication QSR Magazine. The top three chains when it comes to employee satisfaction remained unchained from 2024 to 2025, with In-N-Out followed by Raising Cane's and Dutch Bros. Hardee's was the lowest-ranked brand at 39 percent. See the top 10 below: Rank Chain Recommendation Percentage 1. In-N-Out 91% 2. Raising Cane's 82% 3. Dutch Bros 78% 4. Chuy's 78% 5. Peet's Coffee & Tee 76% 6. Caribou Coffee 74% 7. Lazy Dog 74% 8. Portillo's 73% 9. Longhorn Steakhouse 73% 10. Chick-fil-A 72% In-N-Out is the only chain that has been in the top 10 every year for a decade, according to William Blair's analysis. So what is it that's making workers at In-N-Out, Raising Cane's and others feel good about their job? Getting a raise isn't everything, according to the study. In fact, the authors found that compensation and benefits had the lowest correlation of six measured attributes, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The top factors were instead culture/values, senior management and work/life balance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dutch Bros. adds breakfast menu to take down Starbucks
Dutch Bros. coffee started as a pure beverage rival to Starbucks and other coffee chains. It was a disruptor of sorts, as most of its locations are drive-thru only. It's a model that has been copied heavily by growing rivals like 7 Brews, but at the time it was a stripped-down, back-to-basics model. Related: One of Texas's oldest BBQ joints is closing permanently after 34 years The company literally began as cart way back in 1992, before the chain began franchising in 2000. It was a slow climb to becoming a real player, but it has steadily grown, reaching a milestone earlier this year. "On February 7, we opened shop number 1,000 in Orlando, Florida, 33 years after our founding and 3,000 miles from our original push cart in Grants Pass, Oregon. With a long runway ahead and conviction in our brand, we aim to open the next 1,000 new shops with the goal of 2,029 total shops in 2029," said CEO Christine Barone during the Dutch Bros. first-quarter earnings call. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter She is quite confident the company will reach that goal. "We see a long-term opportunity to drive sustainable transaction growth by addressing structural barriers, bringing in new customers, enhancing frequency with existing customers and sustaining ongoing momentum in the productivity of our newer shops," she added. When you look at the Dutch Bros. menu, it's almost entirely drinks. The chain has expanded beyond coffee into smoothies, lemonades, iced teas, sodas, and more. It also offers a very limited snack menu consisting mostly of muffin tops. The chain does, however, see a growth opportunity in food. Barone spoke about that as well. "We see a clear path forward with Order Ahead, throughput and food," she said.

"We are thrilled with the success of our limited food test launched late last year and are excited to continue testing and refining this initiative throughout 2025," she added. The hot breakfast menu includes four smaller-sized items: a sausage, egg, and cheddar slider; bacon, egg, and cheddar slider; chorizo wrap; and a maple waffle, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The test will be expanded to more locations this year. The coffee chain has taken a "move slowly" approach to growth. It's going to continue to do that. "Building on the success we are having with our Order Ahead initiative, we believe food can generate incrementality in the morning day part and drive frequency. Our approach to this test is both strategic and deliberate. We recognize the potential multi-year growth opportunity with our current food mix at less than 2% of sales," Barone said. Dutch Bros. has also remained focused on making sure it keeps its workers happy. "Our goals for this test are clear: maintain existing high levels of barista job satisfaction, continue to support throughput efficiency, minimize complexity, and offer a targeted assortment that allows us to satisfy our customers' craving for food while capturing incremental beverage opportunities," she added. Barone made it clear exactly how the company decided what it adds to its menus. "The pilot test has informed our decision to now offer eight SKUs, including four hot food offerings. With the completion of an initial pilot, we recently expanded this initiative from eight to 32 shops," she shared.

"Looking ahead, expanding the food test pilot is a crucial step towards a broader test and rollout anticipated to occur throughout 2026. This expansion aims to reach a wider potential audience and positions Dutch Bros more competitively in high value routinized beverage occasions," she added.
