SHIFT LEADER

Chick-fil-A
Dayton, OH Full Time
POSTED ON 6/5/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/3/2026

This isn't just a step up from Team Member. It's the beginning of something bigger — for people who are ready to lead, not just show up.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Starting pay at $21-23 / hr with overtime opportunities (depending on experience)
  • Paid Time Off
  • 401k
  • FREE college classes and degrees (study online while still progressing at work)
  • Scholarship opportunities
  • Flexible scheduling — and always closed on Sundays
  • Intentional growth and development — real investment in where you're headed, not just where you are

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • You have a genuine passion for people — guests and teammates both
  • You take ownership of a shift like it's your business - looking for both FOH and BOH
  • You have strong character and bring it every single day
  • You work with urgency and don't wait to be told what needs attention
  • You're the kind of person who makes the team better just by being there

Prior shift lead or supervisory experience is preferred but not required

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

  • Open and/or close the restaurant — key holder once out of training
  • Lead shifts and keep the team aligned, accountable, and moving
  • Train and onboard new team members — set the tone for what great looks like
  • Handle guest experiences in the moment: recovery, connection, hospitality
  • Support Senior leadership in executing daily operations
  • Count drawers and close out the day accurately

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO LEAD WELL HERE

Servant Leadership

You lead from the front. You don't ask anyone to do what you wouldn't do yourself — and the team knows it.

Ownership Mentality

You treat every shift like it's your business. If something's off, you handle it — not because someone told you to, but because it matters.

Developing Others

You actively coach and invest in your teammates. You help new hires find their footing and push great teammates to get even better.

Guest First, Always

You don't just respond to guests — you anticipate them. Every interaction is a chance to make someone's day, and you take that seriously.

Sets the Tone

Your energy is the team's energy. You show up with the right attitude even on hard days, because the team is taking its cues from you.

Operational Excellence

You hold the standard on every component — not just when it's convenient. You know what right looks like and you don't settle for less.

READY TO LEAD SOMETHING?

We develop leaders — not just employees. If you've been waiting for a place that will actually invest in you, this is it.
