How does the quality of the mix-in affect the portion amount used for two mix-ins?

The quality of the mix-in can significantly influence the portion amount used for two mix-ins, particularly when considering the experience and satisfaction of the customer. When the mix-ins are of higher quality, it is common practice to use half the standard portion for each mix-in. This approach ensures that the flavors of the higher-quality ingredients are not overwhelmed and that each component can be appreciated in the final product.

For instance, if a mix-in is particularly rich or intense in flavor, using a reduced portion allows customers to enjoy the unique characteristics of each mix-in without one dominating the other. This method prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring that each mix-in contributes positively to the overall taste experience.

This strategy also helps maintain a balance in the product while minimizing waste, as excessively using lower-quality ingredients could lead to a less desirable outcome. Ultimately, focusing on quality leads to a more satisfying and enjoyable product for customers while adhering to the standards of Five Guys.
