In-N-Out Managers Make Over $200K On Average: Report

In-N-Out store managers earn over $200,000 per year on average, Inc. recently reported.

That’s a significant jump from the $163,000 that managers at the Irvine-based company made — plus profit-sharing — on average in 2018, Forbes reported at the time. It is also drastically higher than the current average base salary of a California fast food manager, which is $68,774, according to Indeed.

“Our founders, Harry and Esther Snyder, believed not only in taking great care of our customers, but also in taking really great care of our associates,” an In-N-Out spokesperson told Inc. “Their philosophy was to treat associates like family and strive to be an outstanding employer, and paying higher-than-normal wages was one important part of that philosophy.”

On average, In-N-Out managers stay with the company more than 15 years, whereas other fast food managers typically remain at a job for only a year or two, Inc. reported.

The company’s ethos regarding above-market pay also extends to entry-level positions, for which In-N-Out has been known to pay higher than minimum wage, according to Inc.
