Five Guys Burger

The Five Guys mission statement, as simple as its menu, is aligned with the philosophy that if you 're going to sell hamburgers and fries in a restaurant industry that has a lot of hamburger-french-fries business, you 'd better do hamburgers and fries well than the competitors. Five Guy’s focus is not to add more items to the menu, but to serve top quality burgers and fries to keep their business booming. According to Boonze and Kutrz (2012) Murrell states “We figure our best salesman is our customer”, “treat that person right, he’ll walk out the door and sell for you” (pg. 78). This philosophy is one of the key factors that keep Five Guy’s apart from other fast-food chains.

Unlimited, endless, fast food choices, and yet there are two that stand out above the rest. McDonald’s and Burger King are the two biggest burger fast food chains in the world. So let me ask you this, who has a better menu? Who’s Cheaper? And which one is healthier? This debate will once and for all come to an end, once all of these points have been met throughout my paper. McDonald’s vs. Burger King has been a long running argument. You will finally come to realize that McDonald’s is the better choice for you.

Throughout all of human history, mankind has searched for the ultimate food. To our enjoyment, in 1950, the world was given the answer: Whataburger. Whataburger has taken the hearts of Americans by storm by by serving classic southern style burgers, fries, and shakes. Despite it’s humble beginnings in Corpus Christi, the franchise now boasts over 750 locations and has even secured the 2016 title of “Best Burger in America”. In an effort to understand why this small burger chain became so successful evaluating this legendary business in three different aspects: price, quality, and customer service.

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.

We all know that hamburger does not go well if it does not have fries. This company provides a lot of fries to McDonald’s restaurant.

McDonalds’ french fry taste has nothing to do with the potatoes being used by the company, the fries get their taste from the cooking oil. 7

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.

The article I chose for the assignment is about the Shake Shack IPO (Initial Public Offering) and the environment in which is was released. The restaurant’s stock launch was a major success, as the price per share skyrocketed at a growth of 119% from $21 to $45.90, in one day of trading. With the intense growth that Shake Shack experienced, the chain of 63 restaurants was valued at $1.6 billion, which had investors pouring in. While it was expected for Shake Shack to be a success on the launch of their IPO, their valuation and continued growth has shown the shift in the market of restaurants. Society has moved from the fast food era, to a new adaptation, “fast-casual”. Restaurants such as Noodles, Chipotle, Garbanzo, and many others have capitalized on the shift from value to quality based desires.
