Five Guys History

Though it can seem redundant, make sure to include an up to date copy of your resume with your application form. Online application is generally preferred to direct application, so try to apply online if possible. However, taking a physical copy of your application and resume to a local franchise may stand out in this digital age.

Small and mid-cap restaurants that were heavily franchised (less than 25% of stores owned by the

However, one of Five Guys’ unique features compared to Burger King and McDonald’s is to only offer fresh, never frozen, eighty percent lean meat burgers that are made to order. Many of the traditional fast food burger restaurants, only offer frozen patties cooked in advanced, and stored under heated lamp until ordered by the customers. They also offer the customers seventeen free toppings for their burgers. Additionally, they use the same kind of bun for the burgers; as well as the original baker.

Five Guys and Swenson are two of my favorite restaurants in Kent, Ohio. These two restaurant serves several types of burgers. Five guys and Swenson have their own style of how to serve their customers in special way. Five guys has online ordering system, so the customers can order and sent to the nearest location.

Unlike many food chains, Five Guy’s produce fresh product to give to the customer. Five Guy’s uses the leanest ground beef and potatoes that are grown in Idaho and not California (Boone & Kurtz, pg 78). Their burgers are not frozen like most companies and the bread is delivered daily at each location. They believe that good burger takes time and patience to make. “That’s why we can’t do drive-thru it takes too long. We had a sign: If you’re in a hurry,

Five Guys first began when the father of the four young Murrell brothers told them that they could either “start a business or go to college.” (“About Us”) Jerry Murrell, the father, had learned how to cook by cooking for a University of Michigan frat-house. He admired the boardwalk fries at Ocean City, which were always cooked right with “high-quality potato, peanut oil … I thought a good hamburger-and-fry place could make it.” (Welch, “How I Did It: Jerry Murrell, Five Guys Burgers and Fries”) And so, their first restaurant opened in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia. The place was later named Five Guys after the fact that it was started by five guys: the father and his four sons.

The owner of Five Guys, Jerry Murrell, was very successful when it came to his burger business. He didn’t have to do much advertising when he first opened, his shop got business by word of mouth. Murrell operated his business differently than other owners, he used the best ingredients, even if they were more expensive. Since he didn’t have much money to expand, his sons persuaded him to franchise his business, which Murrell was very against, but he did it. After franchising, thousands of businesses have opened all over the United States and now the world. When Murrell opened his first burger joint, he only put $35,000 into it including the rent and machinery. I learned from this that it doesn’t require much money to reach out and start your

To date all restaurants are company-owned and not franchised. Restaurants cover forty-three states in the U.S., Canada, England, and France. The only variation to the original model has been an increased environmental awareness and a “Test Restaurant” in Washington D.C. that serves Asian-Style fast casual food.

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was

Second factor quality of food is the heart core factor that contributed to the success of Five Guys burger. "Five Guys ' burger is better than McDonald 's," says Tristano. "Americans have always fallen in love with a better product "(Burke M, 2012). Speaking about quality food that offers Five Guys includes superior quality of meat, eighty percent lean, always fresh, never frozen at all. Potatoes always come from northern Idaho, because of weather condition they grow more slowly, solid and tasty in comparison to the potatoes grown in California or Florida, grow faster and are cheaper used by other fast food chains. Five Guys use anything but the best. Five Guys first soak fries in water so when the fries are per fried, the water boils, forcing steam out of the fry. This forma a seal so that when they get fried a second time, the fries don 't absorb any oil and so are never oily. "Fries are much harder than burgers" says Murrell. "We work day and night on them, all the damn time." (Burke M, 2012). Five Guys menu allows the chain to focus all its energy on executing its burger "perfectly" (Licata, E., 2009).  Five Guys burger decided they would cook only in peanut oil, which cost five times as much as the oil, other burger restaurants were using (Lottie L., 2012).

Five Guys is a fast casual restaurant chain that originated in Arlington, Virginia[->0] within the Washington Metropolitan Area[->1]. The chain sells mainly hamburgers[->2], hot dogs[->3] and French Fries[->4]. Five Guys enterprises has grown from a single family owned restaurant to a franchise with 450 locations in thirty states. Five Guys opened its doors to Arlington, Virginia in 1986. The restaurant was started by four brothers who were given the choice to start a business or go to college by their parents. The burger and fry shop drew in a ‘cult-like’ clientele base which demanded the opening of four additional locations in the Metro D.C. area between 1986 and 2001.

2.Restaurant Manager- Candidates are to maintain budgets and plan menus. Welcoming and advising customers, preparing staff and sales reports, overseeing stock levels and taking reservation requests are all included in the key responsibilities.

This organization began in 1940, by the brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino California. McDonald Corporation today dates its founding to the opening of a franchise restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines Illinois, in 1955. The system of “speedy service System” in 1948 established the principals of modern fast – food restaurant.

The first McDonald's restaurant was opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in 1940 on Route 66 in San Bernadino, California. The menu had about 25 offerings, and carhops brought the food out to patrons waiting in their cars.

To start off, the organization in the Fast Food Industry is extremely complex. On the basic level, restaurant will usually comprise their workers with Crew Members, Crew Trainers, Maintenance Members, Preparation Members, and Crew Leaders. The industry organizations will divide the crew into these patches in order, for them to achieve their business goals. Typically, we will see industry leaders such as McDonald’s divide their management staff in many segments. This would include Floor Supervisors, Swing Managers, First Department Managers, Second Department Managers, Third Department Managers, and the General Managers. This gives the restaurants a variety of staff and more promotion opportunities that could be exceeded in the restaurant. Beyond the restaurant we will see Patch Managers, District Managers, Opps Managers, the CEO if the company is not bought out, and then the Board of
