Job Description

Five Guys is a leading fast-casual restaurant chain known for its commitment to quality food and exceptional customer service. Founded by the Murrell family, Five Guys has grown from a small family-run operation into a renowned franchise with plans to expand across North America by opening more than 1000 new locations. This demonstrates the company's ambitious vision for growth and its dedication to creating real career opportunities for employees by emphasizing internal promotion and long-term career development. As a company, Five Guys prioritizes a positive work environment and emphasizes honesty, energy, motivation, and fun within its teams. Employees at Five Guys are recognized for their hard work and dedication through a competitive salaried compensation structure, with starting pay between $50,000 and $55,000 annually, which includes eligibility for overtime pay and performance-based bonuses.

This Manager position at Five Guys represents a unique leadership opportunity within a restaurant environment that operates with real, manageable hours—typically from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm without drive-thrus—ensuring a balanced work-life schedule. The role involves leading and inspiring restaurant teams to deliver exceptional guest experiences while maintaining operational excellence and controlling costs effectively. The manager will not only drive day-to-day operations but also foster a culture that aligns with Five Guys' core convictions of remaining humble, exceeding expectations, always doing the right thing, and leading by example. The company values integrity, diligence, and team collaboration, all of which are expected to be reflected in the chosen candidate's approach to management.

Five Guys offers a comprehensive and customizable benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and pet insurance options, as well as 401(k) with company match, an Employee Assistance Program, and an Employee Relief Fund supported by both owners and employees. An additional Secret Shopper bonus plan rewards team performance with bi-weekly opportunities for everyone on duty to earn bonuses based on visit results. Furthermore, the company supports work-life balance through paid Family Bonding Leave for General Managers and Assistant Managers, granting up to 12 weeks of paid leave that is available immediately upon hire based on tenure.

This role is perfect for a restaurant leader with at least one year of experience who is passionate about building a great team environment and delivering outstanding food service with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Candidates should be motivated to uphold high standards for themselves and their teams, contribute positively to workplace culture, and embody Five Guys’ values.
