Cook Out is one of the fastest-growing quick service restaurant (QSR) companies in the industry today. Known for its exceptional growth and dynamic work environment, Cook Out specializes in delivering high-quality food with unparalleled customer service. The company has built a strong reputation for fostering a culture of performance-based achievement, where employees are rewarded for their hard work and dedication.

At Cook Out, the management team plays a crucial role in shaping the customer experience and ensuring operational excellence. The company is actively seeking high-energy, hardworking individuals who thrive in fast-paced settings to join their team as Hourly Managers. This role is not just about supervising from the sidelines; it requires hands-on leadership where managers work side-by-side with their teams. These leaders are responsible for coaching, training, and developing talent, managing daily operations, and driving performance that meets or exceeds established standards. The position offers an exciting opportunity to lead a world-class team in a fun and rewarding environment that encourages personal and professional growth.

The Hourly Manager position is performance-based, meaning advancement within the company is directly tied to your efforts and success. Employees at Cook Out benefit from competitive pay that reflects their experience, along with additional bonuses that reward outstanding performance. The role offers a healthy work-life balance with 4 to 5 day work weeks accompanied by flexible scheduling options to accommodate personal needs. Beyond salary, the company provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance after the initial 90 days of employment. Financial security is also a priority, with a 401k plan offering up to 4 percent matching contributions.

In addition to amazing employee benefits, Cook Out values its team members by providing paid vacation as well as paid holidays including Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. A fun and unique perk of working with Cook Out is the availability of free food during your shift, adding to the overall positive workplace atmosphere. If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys leading others, and wants to be part of a company poised for continued success, Cook Out provides the perfect platform to grow your career and make an impact.
