Job Description
First Watch is a premier Daytime Dining restaurant specializing in made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch. With over 630 locations across 32 states, First Watch has built a reputation for delivering fresh, chef-curated menus inspired by its "Follow the Sun" culinary philosophy. This approach ensures that dishes feature the highest-quality, peak-season ingredients, offering customers an exceptional dining experience characterized by classic favorites and innovative new flavors. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and community has garnered numerous accolades, including being voted the #1 Best Breakfast by Newsweek's Readers' Choice Awards for 2025 and named the #1 Most Loved Workplace in America by the Best Practice Institute for multiple consecutive years.
As a fast-growing leader in the Daytime Dining industry, First Watch stands out not only for its culinary excellence but also for its unwavering commitment to its people. The company fosters a culture of empowerment and mutual respect, giving employees the independence to make decisions that enhance the customer experience. First Watch values its team members as much as its customers and creates a work environment focused on balance and well-being, highlighted by policies such as no night shifts ever. The Back-of-the-House team members are especially appreciated for their dedication to maintaining high standards in food preparation while supporting one another and the overall business goals.
The role being offered at First Watch revolves around delivering high-quality, safe food in a fast-paced kitchen environment. Although formal cooking skills such as flipping an egg are not required, those with a passion for food and an eye for quality will feel right at home. The position offers an opportunity to be part of a company that not only takes pride in its food but also gives back to the community — for every kid’s meal served, a portion is donated to organizations making a positive impact, totaling approximately $2 million raised to date.
As an employee of First Watch, you will enjoy a variety of benefits designed to support your health, financial security, professional growth, and personal life. These include health, dental, and vision coverage, access to telemedicine services, flexible spending accounts for health and dependent care, 401(k) retirement savings plans, and tuition reimbursement programs. Additionally, the company offers a 50% meal discount for you and your family, child discount programs, paid time off, backup care services, an employee assistance program, and personal coaching.
This full-supportive role provides a chance to work with a team that truly cares about food quality, customer satisfaction, and team member welfare, within a company recognized as a top workplace nationally. If you desire a dynamic, positive environment with excellent benefits and the opportunity to contribute to an award-winning breakfast and brunch concept, First Watch invites you to join their team and help redefine Daytime Dining across the country.
