    In & Out has a major leg up on the franchise FF chains in that they own and control the entire operation top to bottom, both ends. No buying every freekin thing in the business from mother company. The amount of money corporate makes annually compared to a franchise is insane. In and Out can afford to pay more and still maintain the same or near profit margin. Their is no middle man in the operation that "tacks on" They can cut the best deals they can with local suppliers, and aren't strapped with having to buy from the company store.

    Bruce, I have worked more than a few hours at the beef supplier for all the So Cal In and out stores, and if I told WHO the supplier was, you might rethink eating there. HOWEVER, I assure you, it is top drawer beef, and it is delivered fresh daily, but the NAME of the supplier freaks some out when they learn who it is.
    Just a hint, the parent company is Mars Candy. I was surprised to learn just how big and diversified Mars is, and how wealthy the Mars family is.
    Google Mars and see if you can figure out WHO is the beef supplier for So Cal In and Out stores.
    Just the logistics of the fresh meat delivery to EVERY location blows my mind... Jack/John Harris Ranch??? AHHHHhhhh, pedigree dog food/wiskas cat food...

    Stuff like this is interesting to me...

    I have a relative that drives over the road and delivers DOMINOS pizza dough/supplies in a four state area, it's timed to perfection for the aging/proofing of the dough while refrigerated over the road... The processes are pretty impressive... Too bad their pizza is just so so...
