Job Description

Shake Shack is a globally recognized hospitality brand that began as a humble hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park. Founded by Danny Meyer, the Founder and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group and acclaimed author of "Setting the Table," Shake Shack has evolved from local park stand to a rapidly growing leader in the fast-casual dining industry. The company’s mission is to Stand For Something Good at every level, prioritizing people and community in all their endeavors. This dedication to quality, hospitality, and ethical business practices has helped Shake Shack cultivate a loyal customer base known as "Shack Fans," who appreciate both the high-quality food and the exceptional service offered in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.

As a restaurant that started with strong community roots and upscale dining experience values, Shake Shack is dedicated to maintaining excellence and promoting a positive workplace culture. The team members, collectively known as the #ShackFam, are offered continuous growth opportunities through hands-on mentorship, training programs, and a welcoming atmosphere where creativity and collaboration thrive.

This particular role at Shake Shack is for a Restaurant General Manager position, a pivotal role responsible for leading restaurant operations with an unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding guest experiences. As a general manager, the successful candidate will be working in a fast-paced, high-volume setting, overseeing everything from team development and quality assurance to financial management and compliance with health and safety regulations. The role emphasizes leadership by coaching and motivating team members to achieve excellence while managing inventory, payroll, scheduling, and budgeting to meet and exceed the restaurant's profitability goals.

The Restaurant General Manager will also play an active role in community engagement by promoting the Shake Shack brand through word-of-mouth and local events, thereby reinforcing the company’s strong community ties. With a salary range from $54,371.20 to $69,929.60 and a full complement of employee benefits, this is a career opportunity that combines professional advancement with a meaningful place to work.

At Shake Shack, employees enjoy comprehensive benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, employer-paid life and disability coverage, a 401(k) plan with company match, and paid time off including parental leave. The company also provides unique perks like meal discounts, exclusive corporate discounts for travel and leisure, flexible spending accounts, and access to employee assistance programs from day one. All these elements come together to create an exceptional work environment where people can thrive, contribute, and be their authentic selves.

Overall, joining Shake Shack means becoming part of a vibrant team committed to hospitality excellence and making a positive impact wherever they operate.
