so I'm working for you but why sure of course what will happen when the boss's mission is compromised okay you look like you've done that before ni you know you look like the um president of fabb I'm done I've blown my cover this is a total disaster look like like really like a brother find out next on Undercover Boss headquartered in Los Angeles California Fatburger is one of the fastest growing hamburger chains in the world hey I'm large Manny in its 150 restaurants worldwide fat Burger's 3800 employees Grill up Gourmet Burgers in 27 countries at
the top of this $100 million a year Burger Empire is one man I'm Andy weer horn I'm the Chief Executive Officer of faer fa Burger started in 1952 in South Central Los Angeles by lovey yansy she started it in a shack out in front of her home where she was cooking Burgers serving them to the black entertainment industry after their gigs fabria grew and grew in Los Angeles and lovey yansy franchised it to about 20 stores and today we operate or under construction in 27 countries around the world from the Middle East to Asia and
here in the US and Canada fabria is really Hollywood's Burger chain so when we had the franchise Partners like Queen Latifa or Kanye West buy franchises to build them it's because it's their favorite burger I was born and raised in Portland Oregon at 23 years old I started my real estate finance company and the growth of that company was incredible growing my company in Portland certainly it was one of the biggest companies to operate there so I found myself at 30 years old with more than hundred million in stock in my company that had gone
public billions of dollars of assets and it led to a very high-profile lifestyle with jets and houses and all those kinds of things I was in a small city with a huge lifestyle felt the people resented me a little bit and were looking for a way to crucify me and all of a sudden I just get knocked down on the canvas as if somebody hit me from behind with a 2x4 in 1998 there was a world economic crisis and that forced our real estate Finance Company into bankruptcy literally in a few weeks so I tried
to make a business deal and save the company and I was successful at that and I was in the middle of a room full of lawyers who all said it was okay but suddenly I found myself at the center of a federal investigation where I was accused of violating some obscure pension fund law that I had never even heard of and it really felt like that was coming out of a small town vindictiveness for wanting to prosecute me for my lifestyle not because of the business deal it felt like the negotiations with the government never
ended I fought it and fought it and fought it for seven years this was consuming me and my family and so I settled and part of my settlement was 14 months in custody in a federal prison every day in prison is a long time it's scary to be in a Maximum Security Federal Prison I was terrified there times where terrible things happened I saw them happen and it was a it was a horrible experience it was so hard on my family it was hard on my six children it was hard on my wife it's hard
the whole thing is hard on everyone the day day I walked out of prison I felt relieved I was elated but found myself needing to start over before I settled with the government our family investment company bought fabor in 2003 at the end of 2006 as we smelled the economy starting to unravel I stepped in as CEO fulltime faer was an excellent chance for me to start over and I felt that people in the restaurant industry didn't care about my past problems and so faer has been a great opportunity to rebuild myself you're going to
look so FR when you look at how much competition is trying to catch up with us it's frightening so I'm really excited to go undercover I'm counting on you to make my disguise work we have 150 restaurants open but another 300 that we're building so I think it's really important right now that I take a temperature check of what's going on in the restaurants with our employees with our customers to make sure I really have my finger on the pulse of how we're doing while undercover I'll be posing as myin Leeds a former real estate
agent looking to trade in his desk job for the opportunity to win his own restant a little bit more cheese what do you think are you serious right now you look so weird so weird like my necklace did you dye your eyebrows you looks so creepy uh they'll never tell yeah right wait here your shoes it might work I'm really excited to go undercover of course I've cooked a hamburger of course I've worked the cash register but I haven't run it while the restaurant's open and operating with customers see you guys by love you I

done that isn't being done you know you've got a lot of experience I think that we should have a centralized maintenance list that can function for all of us keeping the store inair yeah because because what happens is if something breaks example my parking lot lights are out we you know depending on your franchisee who are we calling we've had many marketing directors um come in and they go oh please let me know if there's anything that I can help with okay so you kind of suggest some things and nothing right it's frustrating it's frustrating
and it make you not want to do your best or not make me want to care Val gave me so much information I'm worried that this is the tip of the iceberg and and I'm going to have a notebook overflowing of ideas by the time I finish but I'm going to take the time to think about all of them I'm glad you're telling you you do want to acknowledge your employees things that I've done for my employees I may give them free meals um I try to give a weekend off a month she's been here

for this week which is very important yeah know I get it loud and clear I was really concerned when I found out that things weren't being ordered correctly they can't be missing items like meat how are you going to make a fabri if you're missing ingredients I need to look into who's supervising the manager and how are they ordering all right so we're going to go out side and clean up oh it's a mess yeah it is a mess so you married kids or um I was married actually I have three kids um yeah my
husband passed away though no you didn't what happened we separated in January of last year because he was doing drugs so we separated and then we found out he had a heart condition the drugs basically ate his aortic valve um this is still kind of hard for me to talk about I'm sorry to hear that um and he actually passed away the day after our son's first birthday and then when he passed away I I lost everything I lost my house I lost my car I lost everything I still don't have a car I was
sleeping in my sister's living room with the kids with the kids how buried are you and dead and how and how oh gosh his medical bills alone so we didn't have insurance $250,000 wow I'm sorry I okay and I know it's not my fault but that still is always in the back head you can't be responsible for someone else not taking care of themselves but you can't even though you feel like you are but you have to be responsible for you right I'm here to raise those kids and give them a good life so I'm
sure you will too I have three kids and and it's um it's not easy there isn't anything about it that's easy so I got locked up in jail um a few years ago for being in the middle of a bad business deal and getting some really bad legal advice and I know how difficult was to go through that process it's tough and I think you've got a great attitude and it's great that you got your head around it to say like you know look at here's here's what I have to live for these kids having
a job has really made me feel better and I like like we're family here look at the ownership you take of your job here I mean it's veryt telling I hope that when I own a restaurant I can take that kind of ownership and say you know you're a stellar example of how it should be run I certainly understand what it's like to get kicked down on the canvas and have to pick yourself back up and get back in the ring I had to reinvent myself after going to jail so I admire how hard she's
working to give herself and her kids a better life well thank you again for taking so much time to you're very welcome yeah definitely wish me luck okay yeah oh you'll do great I know you will yeah all right you ready to go back inside all right let grab those your coming up W the boss experiences a bun overload ready you got to stop the light you got to stop it and later so I'm working for you but why because you don't care about me Andy finds an Arizona Fatburger in Dire Straits if you're going

for fa our bun recipe is one of our secrets to Our Success it's a sponged dough recipe that keeps that burger from falling apart while you're holding it the most important thing I want to learn today at Puritan is the consistency in the product they're generating I want to make sure that every bun looks the same every bun feels the same every bun tastes the same hi there looking for Ramon uh yes I'm Raymond yeah nice to meet you I'm my oh nice meeting you uh I'm Raymond Gonzalez I work I'm a supervisor in the

fast okay you have any question no you just got to move fast keep an eyes in this way because as soon as it the bun is stuck like this it's going to be jam over here on the back and we're going to stop the whole thing not only are you trying to make sure the buns are perfect but you're trying to line them up so they go into the packaging straight dozens at a time and it's hard there's so many coming so fast this is not good do it better there it's a jamm over there
in the bottom don't put your hand don't put your hand got to go f check it really quick that's why you you're not doing really good okay you're not straighted the the bonds and the line it's been too many and we're going to stop the whole [Music] thing I think this is it's going to be it's going to be too hard for you here it's a busy job for sure we're going to go in another position over there sure okay go this way or that way Min I think is uh he he's too slow I

visiting faer in Mesa Arizona I'll be working as an assistant manager this is one of our oldest franchisees in the system their sales had hit an alltime low I want to understand what's going on in this community that's not driving customers into this restaurant hi hi there I'm looking for ANH helica yeah just back here hi hi you the contestant I'm my I am hi my name is melica new assistant manager here at fatb let me go ahead and give you your uniform uh just a hat and apron looking good so I'm going to show
you round real quick um all the fries you will need are down here up top you'll have the onion rings and then this is all the shake stuff interesting thing about our fryer is that the side doesn't work absolutely can't use it uh shakes are going to be over here blenders Shake sink um this is kind of broken I can't turn it off and it just sprays everywhere but if you push on it it turns off let go keeps going I don't really know got it I know I hard be fixed okay when an hel
was walking me around the restaurant telling me about the different pieces of equipment that weren't working right they're just annoying little details that make that restaurant not quite as efficient and it makes the job frustrating for the employee so today I'm going to start you on onion rings how long have you been here uh 2 and 1/2 years actually I think it's 2 years and 7 months this month so 2 years and 7 months well wait Rings you Dr in the basket I've been married almost as long as I've worked here really and what else
do you do when you're not working in the restaurant I really want to go to school what kind of school I really want to be a nurse how how about um vacations and stuff do you guys you taking a vacation oh no please not Happ we don't even know that word um let's go see what cleaning tasks we can't get done so it's going to be a little bit slow here I hope I win my own restaurant a little I hope so too um something to to Really um think about if you're seriously going into
wanting to own a restaurant is Employee Appreciation like um for example the only time that we ever really see the owner is if something's broken and we can't fix it and even then if it's not a high priority we won't ever see him I mean he doesn't come around he doesn't check up to see how we're doing every time he calls it's to because something else is going on at another store and he needs either food or more materials from us and and so it's really like so I'm working for you but why because you
don't care about me also like payroll we're struggling so hard by the time we get our paychecks there's no money in the bank if you're going to run a business you got to make sure you pay your employees sure you just have you told them that man signs my paychecks I'm not about to to start that there's so many red flags going on in this restaurant normally you would say okay there's a whole bunch of little problems here but to hear this franchise operator is having to hold a payroll check until it could clear the
bank who wants to come to work and have to deal with that I mean if you you keep your employees happy then the restaurant runs great it it creates a whole vibe yikes it's okay it's obvious to me that I need to sit down with this franchisee and talk to him about how he's managing his relation ships with his employees all right teamwork this process has reminded me that our family business has an extended family and that is our employees and our franchise partners and we have to band together when times get tough and make
sure that everyone in the family is being taken care of as a CEO it's my responsibility to make sure that that's happening coming up how will the employees react when they find out that myON is really the boss my name is Andy weer Horton and I'm the chief executive officer a fabri what the really and what will happen when Andy tries to fix anel's [Music] [Music] problem all of the people that I worked with think they have been called here to give feedback on whether or not I deserve to win the money to start my
own restaurant and I also called our franchise partner in Arizona I really want to make this connection between ANH helica and her franchise owner and fix this problem for both of them hi do you recognize me at all um no you think myON would win the competition or maybe not so much I think you already know cuz you're sitting right in front of me do I look like my I know you're him you where am I I remember your lips in your face you're right my name's Andy weeder horn and I'm the Chief Executive Officer
of fabor wow you're on Undercover Boss what the really cool fun that that's a nice big surprise for me Ramon you've worked for Puritan for 25 years yes I like to I like my job and uh the whole thing is it like family there we work together really hard every day single day and your team you know you have great team members there and you were showing them that passion everyone's got to be perfect or we're not shipping it exactly Ramon you told me about your wife's legal problems yes your wife's immigration struggle is very

a vacation together and so I'm going to give you guys $110,000 for a honeymoon together holy [Music] crap amazing you told me that you want to go to nursing school I'll help you figure out how to get through nursing school and I'll take care of the tuition so you can live out your dream to become a nurse it's something that I I really want and I appreciate all of your generosity thank you so much this is really really big this is a big thing I get excited when I win $3 on a scratcher ticket so
this is huge okay one last [Music] thing okay one of the things you shared with me was about employee recognition the owner doesn't come around he doesn't check up to see how we're doing and so it's really like so I'm working for you but why I came to your store because I knew something was really wrong with it and you told me that you didn't feel that you were appreciated that that really upset me and I want to do something about it that' be amazing so hold on a second hi can you come in great
hi hey how are you hi there little nerve wracked but yeah so Marcus is the franchise owner for the store that you work for your boss I'd like you to tell Marcus what's on your mind here cuz it's important to me that this problem gets solved um I feel that there is a lack for positive reinforcement especially when we're short on equipment and things don't work out the way they're supposed to and it's not recognized that we still work under those conditions and make everything flow for customers to be upset at us because they don't
know what's going on it's frustrating because we want them to come [Music] back that's that's tough yeah I I I really feel like you know I wish I wish I could do more for you Marcus you understand what and hel is talking about which is there's frustrations with the equipment and things being broken but the most important thing is she wants to feel appreciated and it's hard for an employee who's hourly to not get their paycheck I mean everything you're saying is is right on and I've I don't know you know if it's just embarrassment
or ego but I've you know I've tried to keep that that side of it away from the employees as much as I could you know I don't want them to worry about the burdens that that that I have to face I I I'd like to do more cuz I feel like I don't want to let you down cuz you you've always been there for us thank you recognize how hard it is to operate in this environment and it's hard just trying to make payroll every week Marcus I want to help you so this never happens
again one you have some equipment that's broken in the Mesa store and we want to fix all of those problems in the restaurant for you that would be a big help Marcus you came to me a year ago and were unable to pay your royalties as a franchisee and today that debt is somewhere between 50 and $75,000 so one thing I want to do for you is to forgive that loan from the company to you and I want you to take that money to try to write your ship and save these jobs and and make
payroll I I I don't even know how to begin to say thank you I want a commitment from you that you're going to treat the employees better and you're going to recognize them and appreciate them for what they're doing for you also absolutely I mean you know these guys are everything I mean that you know we're a customer doesn't see you they don't see me they see them and they're they are the Brand This is the brand right here I look forward to your success Andy thank you so much on top of everything the fact
that my voice was heard means so much it really does good luck you it feels so good to finally have have someone that's listening and Responding back it's amazing Lisa you taught me a lot oh that's awesome good I learned a lot from you something you talked about was the supply chain at the restaurant and how uh from time to time you've run out of different things including meat sorry we're out of hammerers today yeah we've done that's happened here before I mean you don't run out of meat how do you run out of meat
