What are the responsibilities and job description for the Night Shift Manager position at Hardee's | STM Enterprises LTD?
Run the Floor. Lead the Team.
We're looking for an experienced shift manager to oversee night operations and provide coverage on weekend morning and lunch shifts as needed. As the manager on duty, you're responsible for the team, the building, and everything that happens on your shift. You'll work alongside other members of management to make sure each shift runs smoothly and meets Hardee's brand and STM Enterprises business standards.
This is not an entry-level role. We need someone who has led a team before, knows how a fast food or QSR operation runs, and can make calls under pressure without waiting to be told what to do. Competitive pay commensurate with experience.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
– Oversee all front-of-house and back-of-house operations during your assigned shift
– Lead and direct crew members to ensure fast, quality service and a clean restaurant
– Ensure Quality, Service, and Cleanliness standards meet or exceed Hardee's requirements
– Fill in on weekend morning and lunch shifts to support the management team as needed
– Handle guest concerns with professionalism and resolve issues on the spot
– Manage cash handling, safe counts, and end-of-shift reporting accurately
– Ensure all food safety, sanitation, and security policies are followed without exception
– Communicate shift issues, crew performance, and operational notes to the GM and ownership
– Step into any station as needed — you know the full operation
REQUIREMENTS
- Prior shift management or lead experience in QSR or fast food — required
- Strong leadership presence — your crew follows your direction
- Reliable and accountable — holds self and team to a consistent standard
- Available for consistent night shifts with flexibility for weekend morning/lunch coverage
- Accurate and trustworthy with cash handling and closing procedures
- Able to make quick decisions under pressure and communicate clearly with ownership
- Must be 18 or older
- Must have reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
