Job Description

Shake Shack is a globally recognized fast-casual restaurant chain that began as a humble hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park. Founded by Danny Meyer, the CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group and the author of the best-selling book Setting the Table, Shake Shack has rapidly grown into one of the most beloved hospitality brands worldwide. The company’s unique blend of high-quality food, exceptional hospitality, and community-driven values has created an unforgettable customer experience, making it a preferred destination for food lovers and a great place to work for hospitality enthusiasts.

With roots deeply embedded in fine dining and a commitment to giving back to the community, Shake Shack prides itself on its philosophy to "Stand For Something Good." This reflects not only in the food and service they provide but also in their approach to employee welfare and community engagement. Shake Shack believes that putting people first is the secret to their success and ongoing growth. They invest heavily in cultivating a supportive, inclusive, and fun work environment where all team members—affectionately known as the #ShackFam—can thrive and develop their career paths. This is supported by hands-on mentorship, comprehensive training programs, and ample opportunities for growth and leadership within the fast-growing company.

The role at Shake Shack offers an hourly wage of $14.00 plus tips, with an additional $2.00 per hour available for certain shifts worked after midnight.
