The company's commitment to authenticity and consistency is reflected in every aspect of its operations, from sourcing fresh ingredients to fostering a culture built on teamwork and respect. With plans to open more than an estimated 1000 new locations, Five Guys is positioned for expansive growth, emphasizing career advancement by promoting from within. Employees enjoy working in a vibrant atmosphere where commitment and enthusiasm for delivering amazing food and superior service are highly valued.

The available role is a salaried, non-exempt management position starting at $55,000 annually with the potential for overtime pay.
