    Five Guys doesn't actually give you "extra" fries. They give you a specific portion that they've calculated into the price. They place them into the bag and let you perceive that as "extra" as part of their brand.

    • @bruh-sf4gw
      @bruh-sf4gw 2 года назад +100

      Yeah kinda true. I work at fives guys in the UK and in the training they talk about being very generous with fries ouside the cup but 90% of the time just depends on how many fries are cooked and how many orders there are. Also top tip: if you "forget" to order fries online and go to pick it up (at least where I'm working) they will just give you them for free

      Lol I’m a five guys worker in America and we profit a lot on or fries and drinks so they dont care about giving you a lot of fries because either way we make a profit off of them. It all depends on who works and how many fries were dropped but the company itself doesn’t care if we put 3 large fry worth of fries for a small because we still made a profit

    One of the cooks at Five Guys rotates from store to story near my home in New Jersey. While making my order, I greeted her and told her that I recognized her from one of their other locations. I ordered small fries; she practically filled up the entire brown bag with fries! Such a lovely gesture.

  • @jjaptae5699
    @jjaptae5699 2 года назад +66

    as someone who works at five guys i recommend getting a regular sized fry (in america at least) when you go. the regular and little cup sizes look quite similar and the large looks like it has a huge difference to a regular, which might make you go for the large if you want a lot of fries, but it holds just about the same amount of fries and costs a lot more. always go with the regular

    • @kylebrouwn6768
      @kylebrouwn6768 Год назад +7

      As another 5 guys employee, that's not entirely true. The small and regular do basically have the same amount of fries, but the large absolutely has more fries than the reg and the small. My advice is getting a little if you're on your own, and getting just one or two larges for everyone to share if you're in a group; 1 large is about the same as 4 smalls in terms of quantity, but 1 large is only half the price of 4 smalls. With so many of the people who openly complain about the prices one of the things I often see them do is buy too many small fries, when they could've just bought 1 of the bigger sizes to share and save a lot of money.

    Should have tested this with individual orders of fries. My theory is that they fill the cup, then regardless of what you order, an extra scoop goes in the big.
    I'm sure it's not exactly that, but I'd put money on if you only order one fry, you'll get closer to the correct amount.

    It seems like no matter what size fries you buy, they put a couple scoops extra. So when u got all three sizes in a bag, you only got the extra scoops for one of the fries.

      but it's not really even "extra," because it's the amount that should've been in the portion to begin with. so it's not that you're missing out on extra fries when you get more than one size, but actually having fries deducted from the portion.

      At my Store in Germany we give out an extra portion of fries to every cup, so three small cups gives you three extra scoops.
      I would guess this is standard

      It’s like Five Guys tried to go a tad overboard with the American fast food stereotype over here to make it "authentic" (honestly it probably actually is the closest thing we have here to authentic American). It’s weird.

  • @fuyuscarlet2983
    @fuyuscarlet2983 Год назад

    The hotdog is sliced like that is because is to cook evenly, prevent it rolling and fall of the bun and create a condiment mess on container, and is to have even meat distribution on hot dog buns per bite.
    And the potato/fries weight part, I assume the fries is weighed before fried, which means maybe 30-40% of potato weigh is lost because of internal water content from frying.
