What are the responsibilities and job description for the Overnight Wendy's Shift Leader position at Yum & Chill Restaurant Group LLC?
Movin’ on up…
Families come in all shapes and sizes. And that includes the Wendy’s family — the people you work with as a Wendy’s Shift Leader.
The stuff you want — like fun people, quality food, and a paycheck — done. Our founder Dave Thomas had three rules for everyone who works here: Do the right thing. Treat people with respect. Make food better than they’d expect from a fast food place. No doubt you do the first two already. We can teach you the third!
Sound good? Keep reading.
Making things happen is just one of your talents:
If a Wendy’s restaurant was a person, it’d be you: fun, fast, friendly, and never out of bacon — even at 3 a.m.
Whatever comes up with a customer — good or bad — you handle it like a boss (‘cuz you want to be a boss someday soon).
You keep the overnight crew motivated, trained, and on task so operations run smoothly until the morning shift arrives.
You make sure food safety standards and cleaning procedures are always on point.
You manage closing and prep tasks so the restaurant is ready for a fresh start the next day.
What you bring to the table:
At least one year of restaurant work experience (overnight preferred).
High school diploma or GED. (Some college or military experience? Tell us that, too.)
You’ve already led, managed, and organized a team in a fast-paced environment.
Skills in problem solving, customer service, and decision making — especially when things get busy late at night.
Ability to give and take direction like a pro.
Flexible work availability, including weekends and holidays.
You must be willing and able to:
Travel to other Wendy’s locations (restaurants, area office, etc.) as needed.
Stand and move for most — if not all — of your shift.
Lift up to 25–50 lbs. now and then.
Handle weather-related moments like rain at the drive-thru or taking trash out in the summer heat.
Wear a headset, use other restaurant equipment such as a register or grill, and follow brand standards and guidelines.
Work overnight hours, generally between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
We get it. We get you.
Our food isn’t one size fits all and our job opportunities aren’t either.
