Five Guys Certification Study Guide
A Five Guys Certification Study Guide is a preparatory resource used by crew members and managers to pass the internal operational certification exams required for station mastery and career advancement. Five Guys does not publish a single official public study guide; instead, training is delivered through Five Guys University (FGU), an online platform covering foundational courses (Food Safety, Allergens, Customer Service) and skills courses (Dressing, Cooking Burgers, Cooking Fries, Fry Certification) . New employees have 31 days to complete required FGU courses before hands-on station training . Third-party study guides—compiled from employee experience and exam recalls—typically cover food safety temperatures (hot holding at 140°F, ground beef at 160°F), fry procedures (pre-cook time, dump station limits, peanut oil), grill operations (350°F calibration, patty pressing), bucket color designations (white for potatoes/salt/sugar; orange/black for grease and cleaning solutions), and audit scoring . Managers must additionally hold food safety and quality control certifications .
