Be a Leader. Be a Difference Maker. 

At our restaurant, Shift Leaders aren’t just supervisors—they’re hands-on leaders who set the tone for every shift. You’ll lead by example, work side-by-side with your team, and ensure every guest walks out impressed. 

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love working with people, and want to grow your career, this is your next step. 

 

What You’ll Do 

  • Lead the shift and step in to run operations when management isn’t on site  
  • Jump into every position—cashier, grill, prep, fries, dining room—no task is too small  
  • Deliver fast, accurate service and create a great guest experience every time  
  • Coach, support, and motivate crew members to perform at their best  
  • Help train new team members and build a strong, positive culture  
  • Keep the restaurant clean, safe, and up to brand standards  
  • Manage shift tasks like breaks, cash handling, and closing reports  

 

What We’re Looking For 

  • 1–2 years of restaurant, retail, or hospitality experience (leadership preferred)  
  • A team-first mindset with strong communication skills  
  • Someone who leads by doing—not just directing 
  • Ability to stay cool and make decisions in a fast-paced environment  
  • Basic math and comfort using POS systems  

 

Why You’ll Love It Here 

  • ✅ Real growth opportunities—many leaders move into Assistant and General Manager roles 
  • ✅ Fast-paced, high-energy team environment 
  • ✅ Hands-on leadership experience every shift 
  • ✅ Be part of a brand that values quality, teamwork, and consistency 

 

Work Environment 

  • On your feet, active, and engaged throughout your shift  
  • Work around hot equipment and in a busy kitchen setting  
  • Lift, move, and handle supplies as needed  

 

Certifications 

  • Food safety certification (such as ServSafe) preferred
