In-N-Out also serves up the happiest employees in the industry, survey says
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.

BrightKey Showcases Purpose-Built Mail Screening Model for Corrections at ACA 2025
DENVER, August 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrightKey, Inc., a national leader in secure mail screening, will highlight its purpose-built model for correctional facilities at the American Correctional Association (ACA) 2025 Congress of Correction in Denver, offering leaders a proven, service-driven solution to one of the field's most urgent challenges. For decades, BrightKey has safeguarded the mail streams of federal agencies, nonprofits, and major institutions. Unlike approaches that rely on devices or software alone, BrightKey delivers mail screening as a service—a comprehensive model built on defense-validated technology, cleared experts, disciplined processes, and trusted partnerships across the mail supply chain. Correctional facilities nationwide are confronting record levels of fentanyl and contraband entering through the mail, even as onsite technologies have expanded. The lesson is clear: equipment alone cannot keep pace with shifting threats. "Mail screening isn't solved by putting a gadget in a mailroom," said Zachry Bradshaw, Vice President of Business Development at BrightKey. "It requires expertise, accountability, and flexibility. Our purpose-built model keeps threats out by screening offsite, under controlled conditions, and returning only what is safe and secure." BrightKey's model operates as a complete offsite service from its secure facility, with options for hybrid integration when needed. Mail is redirected, screened under audit-ready standards, sealed in tamper-evident packaging, and returned through trusted carrier networks with full chain of custody. The process protects staff and inmates, reduces liability, and preserves the integrity of privileged communications. Often operating behind the scenes, BrightKey has played a critical role in protecting sensitive communications where failure is not an option. With its purpose-built correctional model, BrightKey now brings that same unseen discipline directly to corrections—offering the most effective service model of its kind, tested at scale and adaptable to evolving threats. ACA attendees can meet BrightKey representatives in Denver to learn how this model is redefining correctional mail security. About BrightKey BrightKey, Inc., headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, is a trusted partner to federal agencies, corporations, and nonprofit organizations nationwide. With over 35 years of experience, BrightKey provides secure mail screening, fulfillment, and customer support solutions that protect organizations, enhance resilience, and safeguard communities.

Downtown Sacramento business owners raise concerns over police responses to Saint Clare building
Some downtown Sacramento business owners are fed up with a building they say police keep getting called out to. The building in question is Saint Clare on 9th and L St. It was formerly the Capitol Park Hotel that was flipped into permanent supportive housing for the homeless. It opened in 2024, and some downtown business owners say it has become a nuisance. "When you see these folks suffering on the street, you wish you could allocate the dollars you have in a smarter way," said the CEO of Region Business and downtown developer John Vignocchi. He is calling on more services for the homeless to mitigate the number of calls to the Sacramento Police Department. "They spent so much money on renovating this historic property that they don't have a lot of capital left over for services," said Vignocchi. A downtown business owner requested public records from the Sacramento Police Department that shared the data with Vignocchi. The data reveals that about 10% of calls in the J, K and L corridor of downtown between 7th and 13th streets came from Saint Clare in the first half of 2025. The calls were about three to four times more than other businesses in the area, like the 7-Eleven on J Street. The most recent call to Saint Clare came on Wednesday morning when residents were woken up to swat when an armed suspect barricaded himself inside a unit. "When you got a high volume of calls for service, something's up," said Sacramento City Councilman for District 4 Phil Pluckebaum. "So that gives us an opportunity to respond. There's opportunity for improvement." Pluckebaum represents downtown but was not in office when the city spent $20.3 million to flip the hotel into housing for the homeless. He is suggesting solutions, such as more resources for dispute resolution, crisis and trauma counseling and services for people's pets. He said the reality is that those services will come with a cost, saying the city needs more money to accomplish serving the homeless better. "Maybe summertime being warm, folks having less clothes," said Jenny Davison, CEO of Davison Consulting and Design and COO of Capitol Events Center. "That's a situation that's been happening." Davison said she is tired of seeing people doing drugs, trespassing and having to pay for increased security. The Sacramento Police Department said it is aware of the high number of calls it keeps getting at Saint Clare and that the bike unit is working with the District Attorney's Office to address the issues. "An active investigation is currently underway, and we are cooperating fully with the authorities," said Mercy Housing, the group that runs Saint Clare. "At this time, we are unable to provide additional details. The safety and well-being of residents and staff is always our top priority."
