Job Description

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain famous for its award-winning burgers and high-quality fresh ingredients. The brand has earned the distinction of being ranked the number one burger in America, a reputation it upholds not only through its delicious menu offerings but also by fostering an exceptional employee experience. As a family-owned business, Five Guys places a strong emphasis on food safety, cleanliness, and excellent customer service to ensure each dining experience meets the highest standards. The company culture is lively and energetic, characterized by open kitchen designs, team communication, and an atmosphere filled with classic rock music — employees are even encouraged to sing along, making the work environment both fun and engaging.

At Five Guys, employees work collaboratively across all areas of the restaurant—from register duties and grilling to morning prep and closing activities—thereby building versatile skills and strong team bonds. The restaurant operates with a unique bonus initiative called the Secret Shopper program, which rewards employees with cash bonuses for maintaining high standards and delivering outstanding service. This commitment to quality and team spirit creates a dynamic work environment that is perfect for individuals seeking a constantly active, people-focused workplace.

This position offers a starting pay of $16.60 per hour plus tips and bonus. The location operates until midnight, and employees who work past 10pm must be at least 18 years old, in compliance with Illinois state labor laws. Five Guys provides flexible hours and schedules tailored to meet various individual needs, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking for either part-time or full-time work. Employees also benefit from access to fresh, high-quality ingredients and free meals during their shifts.

Beyond competitive base pay and bonuses, Five Guys invests in the personal and professional growth of its staff through opportunities to learn and advance within the company. The brand offers a supportive culture where the focus on food quality and safety does not overshadow the importance of enjoying one’s work and having fun. To complement this, health benefits including a 401(k) plan, medical, dental, and vision coverage become available based on eligibility, ensuring employees have access to important resources for their well-being.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries participates in the eVerify program, demonstrating its commitment to lawful and transparent employment practices. Equal employment opportunity policies are strictly followed, aiming to increase representation of women, people of color, veterans, and individuals with disabilities throughout the company. This inclusive approach reflects Five Guys' dedication to creating a workplace that values diversity and equal opportunities for all.
