Job Description

Shake Shack is a renowned fast-casual restaurant brand with roots deeply embedded in community and hospitality. Starting as a humble hot dog cart in New York City's Madison Square Park, Shake Shack was founded by Danny Meyer, a visionary in the hospitality industry and founder of Union Square Hospitality Group. The initial success of the cart, backed by its commitment to reinvesting proceeds into park beautification, paved the way for the establishment of a permanent location and the rapid expansion of the brand. Today, Shake Shack stands as one of the fastest-growing hospitality companies in the United States, admired for delivering high-quality food with an uncompromising level of hospitality and care. The company culture is built on the foundation of "Standing For Something Good," which reflects its dedication not only to excellent food but also to fostering healthy, inclusive, and empowering workplaces for its employees and meaningful connections within its communities.

The company operates multiple locations, including the one at 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, Concourse C136, New York, NY, a vibrant environment that blends great food and exceptional service.
