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
