you go to a fast food or fast casual
restaurant to save time right the key
word is fast so avoid asking this
question that a five guys employee
insists you don't need to we all know
there are tons of secrets within the
fast food restaurant industry whether
it's about dairy queen's chicken the ice
cream machines at mcdonald's or the fact
that pizza hut's stuffed crust pizza is
made by adding string cheese to the
crust at least according to a former
employee on reddit the list goes on and
on and it seems to get longer now that
restaurant workers with phones and
tick-tock accounts are revealing even
more fast food secrets sometimes the
higher-ups at the fast food chains would
rather keep these things a secret and
the employee gets in trouble some
tick-tockers whose fast-food exposes
have gone viral might have been fired as
a result including a chick-fil-a worker
who revealed a way to custom order a
seasonal drink that's better than the
one on the menu for the same price but
sometimes places have secrets that are
actually positive a tick talker might
reveal something behind the scenes at a
fast food restaurant that makes us want
to visit them even more five guys
employee maison henix shared a few such
tidbits on his tick tock account where
the videos quickly went viral the videos
and some subsequent interviews with
henix available online revealed that a
lot of the food at five guys is fresher
than it is at some other fast food
establishments the first tick tock video
henix posted from his workplace showing
how whole potatoes are cut and washed on
the way to becoming french fries has
been viewed more than 22 million times
in a separate video henix described how
the fries are pre-cooked for two minutes
in one fryer then moved to another fryer
for a second cook the employee who works
at a five guys location in shreveport
louisiana told insider one thing
customers should realize is they don't
need to ask for their fries well done
every order of fries is well done but if
you want them crunchier than usual henix
said you can ask for extra crispy in
another tik-tok video henix explained
how he knows when he's added enough
seasoning to 5 guys cajun fries my
manager always told me
if you ain't sneezing you ain't pleasing
henix had a lot more to say about what
five guys customers need to know he
dished in a separate insider article
about how five guys gets its burgers to
be so juicy and mouth-watering the
three-step process he outlined ensures
every paddy is both well done and quote
leaking as henix put it henix told
insider so when you bite into it it will
be satisfying we know some fast food
employees have been fired for revealing
company secrets on tick-tock but five
guys might want to consider giving their
self-appointed pr guy in shreveport a
raise another piece of advice henix had
for customers was to be aware of the
chain's prices before walking in the
door for the first time henix told
insider we have some customers that just
come in look at our prices and just walk
right out even worse customers will get
angry at him when he's working the
register once they realize five guys
doesn't have the discounted combo meals
you can find at some other fast food
chains henix's advice check the prices
online first so you go in knowing what
you're going to pay henix had more words
of wisdom for customers in a separate
insider article five guys might be
pushing the boundaries of what qualifies
as fast food but henik said you should
get your meal within eight minutes of
ordering it henix told insider so we're
going to get your food out quick or at
the very least not too slowly
considering that every burger is cooked
to order cashiers speed up the process
by calling out the number of paddies
while the customer is ordering them
secondly all the food at five guys is
fresh according to the five guys website
there are no freezers in any of its
restaurants when you consider the fresh
beef patties and the french fries made
in store from whole potatoes henix says
the higher prices customers sometimes
complain about are justified the
ticktock famous employees said customers
should know that everything at five guys
is fresh because maybe then they'd be
willing to pay a little more
