Chick-fil-A Made A Huge Mistake

[@grfrjiglstan]

At Five Guys, they soak the fries in cold water before cooking to specifically remove the starch, so they don’t end up soggy. This is the opposite of progress.

[@DzB00]

I'm literally eating 5 guys right now it's the best fast food place by far. The in-n-out near me has a drivethru line down the street all night, every night. But the food doesnt even compare

[@ryansalcido3934]

I worked there during the change. They coat the fries in a ton of starch. The starch creates a crispy barrier on the outside of the fries that help prevent them from getting soggy. No soggy fries means you can hold them longer before throwing them out. The problem is that the fryer oil doesn't cook INTO the fry and give it flavor because the starch acts as a barrier. The potato on the inside just tastes like it was "heated up" and not fried. Also, the fries tend to stick together. To combat this, the company required us to stop using a fry basket press, which caused the topmost fries to be uncooked since they want to float in the oil.

[@tiptop1263]

Did they not used to stick? To be honest this most recent time I had their fries I did get a few fries that were stuck together, but before hearing of this change it had never happened to me

[@ryandude2448]

I've worked for a restaurant chain for 10 years. I was not expecting someone to actually explain (correctly) what happened already. We never use fry presses tho lol It has now been 7 years since CFA took my bagel away. I will not visit until they bring it back

I work as a lead at a Chick-fil-a store. This change was announced a couple months ago and they have started sending out the new product, but it hasn't reached most stores yet. My store doesn't have it yet and I knew about it since early October last year. I'm sure if you go to your local Chick-fil-a and ask, they will be more than happy to confirm if they have the new fries or not. But that might be why you haven't noticed a difference yet, because they aren't at all locations yet. Probably will be by mid 2025

[@brendanwood1540]

If you boil potatoes in water and mash them you can add starch to basically soak up the water and hold the mashed potato together enough to form fries. Those fries will balloon up a lot more because they contain a lot of flavorless water. The flavor is probably coming from the peas. But the reason to do it is absolutely to sell less potato for the same price. Mashed potatoes fried or not do not taste the same as fried potato. Especially not when there is no enhancement added to the mix. Usually chefs add things such as herbs and cheese to the mix so it tastes different but still good in its own way. Without that it's just cheap bland knockoff fries equal to frozen boxed junk.

[@_Zaira]

To play devils advocate: in the article about the fries being a different recipe, it says that "you don't have to be a super taster to notice the difference in the quality" or something like that. Wouldn't that make the pole invalid? Genuine question. Not an attempt to dismantle.

You can do extra crispy and no salt fries at Raising Canes. It typically requires the people cooking to drop a whole different batch of fries for you, so there is a wait. But if you’re willing, go for it! I used to work there and remember the way everyone would groan when someone would request their food extra crispy since we were being timed for every customer in line.

[@nathanwright2968]

7:20 as someone who works at CFA this is very accurate. And the reason for that is inflation. The cost for all the products we use has increased dramatically, and one way to combat that, so we don’t have to raise prices as much for guests is to cut spending. Unfortunately quality often gets cut due to that because ultimately we’re forced to buy lower quality chicken, and now the fries are lower quality as well. But if people didn’t do that the food would have to be far more expensive, than it is even now

[@cyruskhalvati]

You gotta keep in mind chick fill a has been making record profits year over year. Its not like they need to change things unless theyre taking on more debt more quickly and need to offset that. Yeah the board may not be as happy and the c suite may not get as high bonuses, but chick fill a would be just fine not changing their fries. If this was a restaurant chain with a dangerously high debt to equity ratio, things would be vastly different. Regardless this sort of cost cutting usually doesn’t bode well for the longterm health of a company. I miss my fresh squeezed lemonade. Lol.

[@ironaston9858]

Thanks for telling me, time to boycott chick-fil-a now, see if miraculously they increase the quality and not the price, if not well I wonder what they'll put in the closed down shop.

[@ngf5077]

@@cyruskhalvati It’s a franchise. The franchise is making record profit. Not the stores which are independently owned and pay license fees and a percent of their revenue to the franchise.

[@sofaded8]

@@ngf5077That's not how that's works. Chic Fil A is a franchise business but is not a franchise within itself, it gives people the opportunity to own their own franchise under the Chif Fil A company. They still make money off all their franchisees, idk how it works for Chic Fil A but I know for Dominos you have to pay 100,000 just to start a franchise, and then you still pay a percentage of profit on top of that I'm sure.

They definitely did it to cut costs. They wouldn’t do it just to make people happy, it costs tons of money to make even the smallest changes on such a large scale. It costed them a lot to make the switch they plan to make their money back.

[@EverettTheMan]

[@scoop-kp1mp]

You don’t know how much cfa pays to produce their fries. They could be cheaper even though they sell it to us at the same price

[@scoop-kp1mp]

@@shiroshnur you’re too trusting, on its face it could be a higher cost per box but it’s not always so black and white, what’s the expiration of the new fries?.. a billion dollar company doesn’t continue to exist by raising cost of production for quality

[@shiroshnur]

@@scoop-kp1mp so I'm thinking the reason that you would see dissonance in this decision is because you think that Chick-fil-A is a publicly traded company. Chick-fil-A is a private company. It doesn't care about perpetual grow the same way that a company on the stock exchange would. Private companies that are profitable would prefer to remain private. As long as they're in the black at the end of the year then they're re fine. They don't have to rely on investors. However, they are incredibly reliant on consumers. If their consumers decide to stop buying their product, then they will eventually go out of business. This is why a publicly traded company like Burger King can stay in business, because even though the consensus is that they have terrible food, they are part of a conglomerate of restaurants and if that conglomerate is profitable as a whole, even if they are profitable due to cutting costs, then it doesn't matter that they lose guests as long as the investor sees a return and is enticed continue to put more money in. So how does a company like Chick-fil-A keep its guests? Well if their surveys say that their fries are soggy, then they have to do something to make sure that the consumer doesn't continue to have that complaint. Even though it costs them in r&d and food costs, if they can get current consumers to buy more, or get past consumers to return, then it is profitable. And because they don't have to present profits on a quarterly basis, then it doesn't matter if the effect is immediate or not.
