• 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

• Manage shift tasks like breaks, cash handling, and closing reports

WhatWe’reLooking For

• 1–2 years of restaurant, retail, or hospitality experience (leadership preferred)
• A team‑first mindset with strong communication skills

• Ability to stay cool and make decisions in a fast‑paced environment
• Basic math and comfort using POS systems

• Fast‑paced, high‑energy team environment
• Hands‑on leadership experience every shift
• Be part of a brand that values quality, teamwork, and consistency
• 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

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