Dough Roller

Shakey's is a renowned restaurant chain celebrated for its signature pizzas, chicken, and a variety of other menu favorites. With a rich history of delivering delicious food and a distinctive dining experience, Shakey's holds a prominent position in the quick-service restaurant industry. The company places a strong emphasis on teamwork, consistency, and quality in every aspect of its operations. Join the Shakey's team and become part of a supportive work environment where growth and learning opportunities abound for all team members, especially those working behind the scenes.

The Back-of-House (BOH) is truly the heart of the Shakey's dining experience. BOH team members play an essential role in creating the food that keeps customers coming back. Working in the kitchen, these team members prepare fresh dough daily, cook delicious Shakey's pizzas and other popular menu items such as chicken and Mojos, while ensuring that the kitchen remains clean, organized, and sanitary. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy being active behind the scenes and contributing to the smooth and efficient operation of the restaurant.

The BOH consists of several specialized stations including Cook, Buffet Attendant, Dough Roller, and Dishwasher. New employees start by specializing in one station and receive comprehensive training to excel in that area. As they grow, they are encouraged to expand their skills by learning multiple stations. This multi-skilled approach not only increases their value to the team but also opens opportunities to work additional hours. Moreover, gaining experience across BOH functions offers a clear path toward leadership roles and potential advancement into store management positions.

Shakey's compensation for BOH roles starts at $16.50 per hour, reflecting the company's commitment to fair pay for essential contributors in the kitchen. Employees benefit from working in an energetic and friendly atmosphere with a strong culture of teamwork and mutual respect. Whether serving up fresh dough or keeping the kitchen spotless, BOH team members are crucial to maintaining the high-quality dining experience that Shakey's promises its customers.

The role demands strong attention to food safety and sanitation standards as team members must handle food preparation and kitchen maintenance consistently and carefully. Responsibilities include preparing and cooking menu items according to Shakey's exacting guidelines, setting up and restocking buffet and salad bar items, properly storing and rotating food products, and maintaining sanitary conditions at all times. The position requires some physical stamina for tasks such as sweeping and mopping kitchen floors, washing pots and pans, and transferring supplies.

Another key aspect of this position is its dynamic nature; BOH team members assist one another and occasionally support front-of-house (FOH) operations. The collaborative environment fosters a strong sense of community and helps ensure customer satisfaction by allowing flexibility to meet shifting demands during busy periods. Ultimately, this job is perfect for dedicated individuals who take pride in contributing to a team that delivers great food and friendly service consistently. Shakey's BOH opportunities provide not only employment but also a platform for personal and professional growth within the hospitality industry.
