These 10 Restaurant Chains Have the Happiest Workers, Study Finds
- William Blair released an analysis in 2025 ranking U.S. restaurant chains by employee satisfaction based on over 530,000 Glassdoor reviews.
- The study covered nearly 90 brands over 11 years and found In-N-Out topped employee happiness for the tenth consecutive year in 2025.
- In-N-Out had a 91% employee recommendation rate, followed by Raising Cane's at 82%, and Dutch Bros and Chuy's tied at 78%, with Hardee's lowest at 39%.
- William Blair noted compensation correlates least with satisfaction and urged restaurants to focus on softer cultural and work-life balance attributes to improve morale.
- The rankings suggest that non-monetary factors shape employee satisfaction substantially, highlighting the need for restaurants to reassess business culture beyond pay raises.
