    Job description

    The pay for this position starts at $17.00/hour +Tips +Bonus 

    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 

    Ready to Lead? Apply Today.

    Join a team where hard work is recognized, growth is encouraged, and every shift matters.
