Job Description

Five Guys Enterprises LLC is a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in fresh, made-to-order burgers, fries, and a variety of other American comfort foods. Founded by the Murrell family, Five Guys has grown significantly over the years, becoming a staple name in the restaurant industry known for its high-quality food, exceptional customer service, and strong company culture. With a commitment to simplicity and excellence, the brand maintains its roots as a family business, prioritizing doing things the right way for the right reasons. As the company plans to open over 1000 new locations across North America, it offers significant career growth opportunities with a focus on promoting from within and fostering a positive, energetic work environment.

The role being offered is a salaried, non-exempt position with a starting annual wage between $50,000 and $52,000, plus possible overtime and eligibility for performance-based bonuses. This position is geared toward individuals who possess at least one year of leadership experience in the restaurant industry, with a strong emphasis on cost control, team leadership, and delivering outstanding customer experiences. Unlike many fast-food chains, Five Guys locations operate with real-world hours, typically from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm, and do not feature drive-thrus. This aspect creates an environment where managers and team members can focus on quality service and customer interaction.

In this role, employees can expect a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, pet insurance, and a 401(k) plan with company matching. Additionally, employees benefit from an Employee Assistance Program and an Employee Relief Fund supported by the owners and staff. The company also encourages a supportive work culture with innovative bonuses such as a Secret Shopper bonus plan where all team members on shift during secret visits are eligible for additional pay bonuses. Furthermore, General Managers and Assistant Managers are eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid Family Bonding Leave, effective immediately upon hire.

The ideal candidate for this position is passionate about creating a great workplace for their team and delivering exceptional customer service with enthusiasm and integrity. They are honest, energetic, motivational, and fun, continually setting and upholding high standards for themselves and their teams. Candidates should resonate with Five Guys’ core convictions: remaining humble (willing to perform any task including the dishes), exceeding customer expectations by consistently providing more than requested, always doing the right thing guided by conscience and grit, and leading by example to showcase what great leadership looks like.

Five Guys values a collaborative, engaged workforce and prides itself on the family-like environment cultivated among employees. This role provides an opportunity to join a passionate team where every member pitches in and contributes positively. Those who join Five Guys will be part of a company that recognizes and rewards dedication, encourages personal and professional growth, and remains dedicated to its core values even as it expands rapidly. This position is ideal for individuals seeking a meaningful leadership role in a dynamic and rewarding restaurant setting that prizes honesty, hard work, and team spirit.
