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 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.

DoorDash purchases hospitality tech company SevenRooms
Online food ordering and delivery platform DoorDash has concluded the acquisition of the hospitality software provider SevenRooms. The US-based food delivery company states that the deal will bolster in-store sales, customer relationships and profitability for merchants by adding SevenRooms' CRM, reservations and guest experience tools to the DoorDash commerce platform. In May 2025, DoorDash agreed to acquire New York City-based SevenRooms for $1.2bn and UK competitor Deliveroo for £2.9bn ($3.8bn). SevenRooms will benefit from DoorDash's scale, resources and global reach. The company's leadership will join DoorDash to further develop its offerings. DoorDash vice-president of strategy and operations Parisa Sadrzadeh stated: 'We're building a platform that makes it easier for local businesses to grow — whether that's through delivery, pickup, reservations or in-person hospitality.' 'These capabilities reflect DoorDash's focus on empowering local businesses to deepen their relationships with customers, however they choose to connect - whether that's going out, ordering in or engaging through a merchant's own online stores. With SevenRooms, we will be able to keep supporting an open, partner-friendly ecosystem.' SevenRooms co-founder and head Joel Montaniel stated: 'We're excited to accelerate our mission to help hospitality operators around the world understand their guests, build deeper relationships and grow their businesses sustainably.' 'Together with DoorDash, we're providing restaurants and hospitality businesses with the tools to own their guest experience, grow their customer base and thrive both inside and outside their four walls. With shared core values, we're energised for our shared future as we bring continued innovation to market faster through a merchant-centric approach.' The acquisition comes shortly after DoorDash purchases ad tech startup Symbiosys for $175m, aimed at expanding its offsite advertising capabilities. Symbiosys offers a self-serve platform that allows advertisers to launch campaigns across channels including search, social, and display, while leveraging DoorDash's closed-loop measurement system.

Almarai to buy bottled-water producer Pure Beverages
Saudi Arabian food and beverage group Almarai has agreed to acquire local bottled-water business Pure Beverages Industry Company for SR1.04 ($277m). In a stock-exchange filing yesterday (15 June), Almarai said the deal is in line with its 'growth strategy to expand its beverage portfolio and enhance its consumer offerings'. Almarai, which sells dairy and juice products under its namesake brand, added it is 'confident that this acquisition will create value for its shareholders'. Headquartered in Riyadh, Pure Beverages Industry Company owns the Ival and Oska brands, with factories in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. According to its website, Pure Beverages Industry Company was set up by Saudi conglomerate Ajlan & Bros. Group in 1979. Almarai plans to finance the acquisition through its internal cash flows, with the completion of the transaction subject to contractual conditions and regulatory approvals in Saudi Arabia. The deal follows Almarai's recent unsuccessful attempt earlier this year to acquire Jordan-based Hammoudeh Food Industries. In March, Almarai said the deal could not proceed 'due to factors beyond the company's control, as the seller was unable to meet certain conditions required to complete the transaction'. Almarai added it is 'open to exploring future expansion opportunities, recognising the strategic importance of strengthening regional operations and expanding geographically to serve consumers in various markets'. The group operates in dairy, poultry, bakery, infant-nutrition, and juice sectors. In 2024, Almarai generated revenue of SR20.98bn, up from SR19.58bn in 2023. Operating profit stood at just under SR3bn, versus SR2.69bn a year earlier. Net profit was SR2.31bn, against SR2.05 the year previous. According to GlobalData, Just Drinks' parent, the size of Saudi Arabia's packaged water market in volume terms was 3.88bn litres last year. The data and analytics group forecasts growth of 3.9% this year to 4.03bn litres. In March, Berain Water, another Saudi bottled-water business, attracted a new investor. Hassana Investment Company acquired a 40% stake in Berain from Rajhi-Invest. Berain has three production plants in Jeddah and Riyadh, and markets bottled water in multiple size options.
