Job Description

Five Guys Enterprises LLC is a renowned American fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries. Founded in 1986 by the Murrell family, the company has grown from a single location in Arlington, Virginia to a robust network of over 1,000 locations across North America. Known for its commitment to quality, fresh ingredients, and exceptional customer service, Five Guys adheres to core principles that emphasize humility, exceeding expectations, doing the right thing, and leading by example. As a family-owned business that values its employees and customers alike, Five Guys fosters a positive, supportive work environment where team members are empowered to grow both personally and professionally.

The position available is salaried and non-exempt, with a starting annual salary of $50,000, plus eligibility for overtime and performance-based bonus rewards. This role offers the opportunity to work in real-life hours of operation, generally from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, without the fast-food industry staple of drive-thrus. The company emphasizes comprehensive and customizable benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and pet insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, Employee Assistance Program, and an Employee Relief Fund supported by both owners and employees.

The role itself is designed for individuals with at least one year of leadership experience in the restaurant industry. The individual will take on responsibilities that include controlling operational costs and leading shifts that ensure exceptional customer experiences and high employee morale. This position is ideal for someone passionate about delivering outstanding food and service with a smile, who thrives on creating a great team culture and holds themselves and their team to high standards.

Furthermore, the organization prioritizes internal career growth, with plans to open over 1,000 new locations across North America, putting a strong emphasis on promoting from within. Additional unique incentives include a Secret Shopper bonus program that rewards employees based on the results of weekly mystery shopper visits, as well as up to 12 weeks of paid Family Bonding Leave for General Managers and Assistant Managers, available immediately from the date of hire depending on tenure.

Five Guys is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and is actively working to increase the diversity of its workforce, encouraging applicants from all backgrounds. The company participates in the eVerify program and maintains transparency regarding employee rights and company policies. Applicants can expect a rewarding career path characterized by steady growth opportunities, supportive benefits, and a team-oriented culture where everyone pitches in and has fun. Joining Five Guys means becoming part of a passionate community dedicated to excellence in both product and workplace environment, honoring the company’s roots and values in every aspect of operation.
