Job description

Join the leadership team at a Restaurant at the Forefront of QSR Innovation; Paying up to $20.50 per hour

At Steak 'n Shake, we’re blending our rich heritage with bold innovation to redefine what a quick-service experience can be with a relentless focus on hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcome, valued, and cared for. As a Restaurant Manager, you won’t just manage, you’ll lead from the front. This is a hands‑on leadership role for those who take pride in operational excellence through doing the work, not just directing it.

Reporting directly to the General Manager/Franchise Partner you will ensure business and strategic goals are met through team leadership.

What You’ll Do

Restaurant Leadership & Operations

• Lead by example—actively working the line, prepping food, maintaining cleanliness, and serving guests across all shifts: opening, mid‑day, and closing.
• Wear a professional uniform daily—shirt and tie or collared blouse—setting the tone for team presentation and upholding all brand standards, food safety practices, and service protocols.

Financial Performance

• Own the P&L: manage food costs, control inventory, verify invoices, and eliminate waste while driving labor efficiency with smart scheduling, cross‑training, and station versatility.

Inventory & Supply Chain Control

• Oversee inventory from the back door to the front line.

Team Building & Development

• Recruit, train, and retain top hourly talent through clear feedback and coaching.

Job Requirements

• 1+ years of QSR or fast‑casual restaurant management experience required.
• Proven history of consistent work tenure and reliable leadership.
• Deep understanding of food cost management, labor optimization, and operational KPIs.
• Hands‑on leadership—comfortable working the drive‑through or grill when needed.
• Tech‑savvy with POS systems, inventory platforms, and invoice tools.
• Strong physical stamina: can lift 50 lbs., stay on your feet all day, and thrive in a fast‑paced kitchen.
• Professionalism that extends to your LinkedIn profile (if you have one) and resume—both should tell the same story.
• Track record in driving hospitality excellence and navigating change in a team setting.
• Minimum of 18 years of age.

Benefits

• Medical/Rx
• HSA with Employer Contribution
• Dental
• Vision
• Life & Disability
