Great and simple menu
Truly fast fastfood
Selective hiring (compared to other fast food joints) this is the biggest one, I think jack n the box fucking sucks if they had chic fil a employees it would probably be pretty good. Employees are everything in the food business.
Also the way owning a location works, they are super selective and many times the owners are there working with the employees not just collecting a check doing something else. Ownership of a chick fil a is a very active roll.

Their food is good and their gimmick of only chicken is a good brand/gimmick. They have the reputation of being one of the actual "good" fast food places like In-n-out and Five Guys etc.
Basically, word of mouth/social media approval is super important to the point that I don't think I've ever seen a chick fil a ad in years.

Stores are clean and their whole process is well thought out. Workers seem like they actually give a shit about their job. They're so friendly that it actually scares me but also makes me smile after interacting with them. Very infectious energy. Low probability that they're spitting in my food. I get the same impression with In-n-out as well. Both are very Christian companies which is comfy. They must source their workers from some secret new age church network or something.

It's a private company owned by the founding family that has no desire to go public. That means they are focused on making sure that the business is successful on a long-term basis; they are not solely or most interested in making themselves rich (they are already rich) as is the case with the mercenaries who run almost all public companies in the U.S.

Wisely running the business means they understand that the food must be of a certain quality, even if the product costs more or has a smaller profit margin, to maintain existing customers and acquire new customers. Also, the franchises are also run to ensure both the parent company and the franchisee succeed, unlike many companies that see franchisees as milk cows to be milked dry and thrown away.

There's more to it that just the above but that's the most important factor: management that isn't tunnelling to enrich themselves while destroying the company. Jack Welch recently died. Despite the adulation many business schools have for him, Welch was a tunneller who has essentially destroyed GE with his idiotic management. In the short term (and it lasted about 20 years), the company, to inexperienced eyes, looked like gangbusters. In the long term, the financial engineering and thievery (robbing "overfunded" pensions) has hollowed out the company. The company's selling off pieces of itself to avoid a bankruptcy caused by the financial engineering. Meanwhile, Welch's idiotic program of always firing the bottom 10% of the company, along with layoffs in general, has caused a massive loss of institutional knowledge that will take decades to recover, if it ever does.

It is often stated that management is the most important thing about a company and that is why they are so highly paid. That is true maybe 0.01% of the time. For the other 99.99% of the time, management is only important in the sense that you hope management, with the power it has over company operations, isn't bad enough to destroy the company.

So I come from the North and now I live in Texas, up north we didnt have Chick Fil A. I am now in love with Cick Fil a

First off right off the bat I noticed a difference in quality from Chick Fil A and other fast food joints. Their food is a step up from compared to Mcdonalds and Burger King. Especially their breakfast. You're paying around the same that you would pay as compared to McDonalds yet you get a better quality meal. I actually feel as if I won't get sick or poisoned eating this food.

Another big thing is service and staff. I noticed that Chick fil a has people that go outside and greet people in their cars. I noticed that the staff is generally friendlier are more upbeat.

Generally the establishment seems to hire ~75% White, which is really nice. Just being honest.

Also the service is just generally better, their app works really well, its easy ordering from them, and they will add sauce packets and even mints.

It's definitely my favorite fast food place.

Same applies for in-n-out. Fresh/actually good food, simple menu with no random microwaved meme bullshit. Clean/new prep-cook areas. They pay employees correctly (usually double normal ff), and only hire white/white acting young people (no drunk José's doing it as a career).

Not out to penny pinch, and understand charging 25+ cents for a sauce that cost .25 cents or skimping on napkins is for kikes trying to min/max their 3 years before jumping to the next corporate globohomo.

But mostly the pay brings more reasonable people, happier people, that don't mind being there. I've tried to do the same thing in warehousing...but the boomers would rather pay 50 mexicans than 5 whites double, and shudder at the idea of raises or production based pay.

Here's the jimmy on this piece of shit franchise. They had nothing going for them, sales were slipping, the head guy was ready to give up and retire he figures "fuck it, I'll go out with a bang". He comes out (no pun) and, in one of the greatest marketing stunts ever pulled, says "fuck fags". Outrage ensues, he steps down, chic apologizes. Boom, catapulted into fast food stardom.

Throw in a little "in and out" (again, no pun) style worker system and there you have it, lackluster, bland ass chicken sandwiches that everyone, including fags, can enjoy.

Sidebar: in and out only took off because of "fastfood nation", fresh as it may be, those 1oz. Patties ain't shit. You need a 4×4 just to get quarter pound.

It truly boggles my mind how other ff places will field 2 employees during a dinner rush shift so everything is slow, hastily thrown together, and often cold/passed the shelf life of fresh. Like they do everything in their power to cut costs and save money so they can stay open.

Here is chik fil a. 3pm on a thursday. 9 employees on the clock. Everything is always clean and well taken care of. Order is 100% always right i've never once gotten anything missing from my meal. If I asked for no tomato, there is never a tomato. Drink is never just moldy carbonated water. Everything is always hot fresh and juicy. Inside and outside always clean. Girls are always cute and well presented. Everyone genuinely okay with being at work and no one has the normal "im only here because I -need- this job..." look.


I'm not going to scream the n-word, but I'll be honest, the selective hiring and effort they put forth in making sure their employees are good is what really makes it I think. Their menu is great, the prices are VERY fair. I can't think of a single real complaint I have with them other than their marketing is kind of rubbish and has been for a decade now. Also I still don't "get" the name of their chain.

When investors, MBA programs, and business rags talk about a corporation's "management," they mean the executive management. That would be your C-level executives and the rung beneath them who might make C-level in the future.

Middle management shouldn't be called management at all. If should be called babysitting.
