Thanks. The Jupyter Notebook technology is great for us. It's nice that it helps us be transparent, and it's even better that it helps us keep our analysis readable, sharable and organized when it's in development.

palrewire, it would be great to have the notebook hosted on http://notebooks.azure.com so people can run it. thx.

Thanks for passing this along. It's very interesting. I just gave it a go with a hefty SQL import to test its power. My database connection string to Amazon RDS, which works locally on my computer, failed. Any idea why?

They don't have franchises like the other chains. That is also why their rollout seems slow. This means the boss is the company, not a franchisee who will have their own way of doing things. They then make a reasonable effort of benefits for their employees: http://www.in-n-out.com/employment/restaurant.aspx

They don't have franchises like the other chains. I don't think that's a factor. Both corporate-owned stores and franchisees use the same employee demographics, generally. Sometimes you'll find a franchisee who is an immigrant from outside the Americas and find a lot of family members and their friends making up the crew. (For example, there's a local Taco Bell that has more South-Asian employees than not.)

The franchising is a factor because franchisees have latitude in setting their own policies for employees. eg one franchisee could offer education credits while another doesn't. Or one could pay more than another, beyond just local circumstances.
