Job description

Shift Lead — Vale Healthy Kitchen

Your first step into restaurant leadership starts here.

Vale Healthy Kitchen is South Florida's homegrown healthy fast-casual brand: build-your-own protein bowls, açaí bowls, salads, wraps, and smoothies made fresh in house every single day. We cook with 100% extra virgin olive oil, filtered water, and antibiotic- and hormone-free meats — no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, no shortcuts. Just honest food, made the Vale way, across 10+ Florida locations and growing.

As a Shift Lead, you run the show when you're on the floor. You'll open or close the restaurant, lead the team through service, and own the guest experience shift by shift. This is a true leadership role — and at a growing brand, it's a launchpad. Our Assistant Managers and GMs started exactly here.

What You Get

• Competitive hourly pay plus tips
• Free shift meal — eat clean, on us, every shift you work
• 25% OFF Employee discount when you're off the clock
• Leadership training and a real, visible path to Assistant Manager and General Manager — we promote from within across 10+ locations
• Flexible scheduling
• A team culture built on our pillars: Integrity · Values · Community · Team

What You'll Do

• Lead opening or closing procedures and run smooth, high-energy shifts from start to finish
• Coach and motivate FOH and BOH team members in the moment — set the pace and the standard
• Own the guest experience: resolve issues on the spot and turn a bad moment into a loyal regular
• Manage cash handling, register counts, and end-of-shift reporting accurately
• Keep food safety, cleanliness, and Vale quality standards tight across every station
• Jump in wherever the shift needs you — line, register, expo — leaders here work alongside the team
• Communicate with management on inventory, staffing, and anything the store needs to win tomorrow

What We're Looking For

• Restaurant or retail experience with some leadership exposure preferred — or a standout team member ready to step up (we'll train you)
• Natural leadership: you set the tone, stay calm under pressure, and people want to follow you
• Accountability: you own the shift's results, not just your own station
• Strong communication with both guests and teammates
• Passion for healthy food and genuine hospitality
• Open availability preferred, including weekends and evenings
• Food handler / food manager certification a plus — we'll help you get certified
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 30 lbs

Who We Are

Founded in Florida in 2014, Vale exists to nourish our communities one bowl at a time. We believe eating well should be easy, delicious, and honest — and it takes great leaders to make that happen every single shift. Come grow with a brand that's growing fast.

The Greatest Wealth is Health.
