You know the restaurant business. You know that a great shift doesn't happen by accident—it happens because a strong leader is calling the shots. At Five Guys, we don't rely on timers or freezers. We rely on people. We are looking for a Shift Leader who can jump on the grill when the lunch rush hits, coach a new crew member on the fryer, and handle the cash—all while keeping the customers happy.

What you will do:

  • Run the shift. You are in charge. You ensure the restaurant is clean, the food is fresh, and the team is moving.
  • Coach your team. You aren't just a boss; you're a mentor. You will train new hires on our standards and help them grow.
  • Manage the business. Assist the General Manager with labor costs, waste monitoring, and inventory.
  • Handle the cash. Oversee daily cash procedures, drawer counts, and deposits with accuracy.
  • Solve problems. When issues pop up—whether it's a customer concern or equipment trouble—you fix them quickly and professionally.

The Perks:

  • Competitive Pay: Base pay up to $16.50/hr.
  • Great Tips: Our crew and leaders share tips, adding up to $2.00/hr to your paycheck.
  • Free Food: Enjoy the best burgers and fries in the business while you work.
  • Real Growth: We look internally for our next General Managers. This is your stepping stone.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Experience: At least 2 years of job experience (restaurant or retail supervision preferred).
  • Age: Must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Tech Skills: Proficient with basic computer systems (Microsoft Word, Excel, Email).
  • Physical: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (potatoes/oil) and stand for the duration of the shift.
  • Transportation: Valid Driver's License and access to reliable transportation required (for bank runs/deposits).
  • Residency: Must be a U.S. resident.
