Why do restaurants not cook their fries longer? Nobody wants a limp fry, am I right?

Proper pomme frites are a two-part cook. First at a low temp to soften them, then they are sheeted and cooled. The second is at a higher temp to provide color and crisp the outside. They are then tossed to perfection with salt...

This is the correct answer. Don’t forget to first soak the fresh cut frites in water overnight to extract most of the starch.

You haven't had good crinkle cut fries then. The place I go to nearby has crinkle cut fries that are always crispy, well seasoned, and come out piping hot everytime. The type of fry doesn't determine whether they're crispy, it's just how long they cook them and the type of potato that's used. Russet potatoes are the best usually since they're high in starch and low moisture.

Waffle fries can be super crispy as well but CFA prioritizes fast service so their fries are always undercooked. Nothing a toaster oven can't fix though.

Odds are it’s because the restaurant doesn’t soak their fresh cut fries in water overnight.

Doing so removes the excess starch and then they should be fried twice. The first time being a “blanche.”

This the key to perfect fries.

Every fry was crispy at some point. If you want crispy fries, you should go to a proper fast food joint not some sit down place.

If you want that preserved, crusty surface that crisps up only when the fry was previously frozen, then you can only get that at a fast food restaurant with quick turnover and high volume. Not some posh restaurant trying to overcharge you for some fresh cut, Idaho fried potatoes that could've cost you $5 anywhere else.
