This role involves managing a team ranging from three to 15 employees, offering direct supervision and training to ensure all staff operate effectively and in harmony. The shift leader is responsible for ensuring all tasks related to food preparation, customer service, supply management, and cash handling are completed with efficiency, accuracy, and according to company standards.
