Mos Burger in Japan has a similarly "rustic" decor but they're immaculate. It comes down to the pride and/or obligation that employees feel to keep the place clean. Hard to find in the USA, and relatively easy to find in Japan. It probably relates directly to the hygiene habits of the individuals themselves in their personal life.

From the article, quoting a Chipotle worker:
"Why do we earn almost the same as McDonald’s workers when the care we put in is 20 times what they do?"
Yeah, and Japanese fast food employees make the same or less unless you adjust for national healthcare and other social services, I suppose. It's definitely a subsistence wage here at best.
I've had Mos Burger many times (in other Asian countries) and it was always delicious, which is why I kept going back, but after most meals I felt nauseous. So not sure why I kept going back.

Sound like five guys. I eat beef once a month so a giant greasy batch kills me. Delicious though.
