Job Description

Five Guys is a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in serving outstanding burgers and fries in a clean and friendly environment. The company has built its reputation on delivering top-tier customer service paired with fresh ingredients and high-quality products. With a focus on maintaining a fun work culture and a commitment to food safety and quality, Five Guys operates multiple locations across North America and is planning to expand rapidly, offering excellent career growth opportunities. The company values honesty, energy, motivation, and having fun, which are core to its workplace values and its approach to making every customer's day special.

The role of Shift Manager at Five Guys is a dynamic and responsible position that plays a critical part in the daily operations of each restaurant. Shift Managers are trained to perform all duties typical of Crew Members and Shift Leaders, but they shoulder additional responsibilities in the absence of the General Manager. Their primary role is to ensure that the restaurant runs smoothly in accordance with company standards. This includes managing product preparation and delivery, maintaining positive customer relations, overseeing restaurant maintenance, managing the team efficiently, handling inventory, and undertaking any other operational tasks as assigned.

This position offers a competitive hourly wage of $18.00, complemented by tips and bonuses, including a Secret Shopper bonus plan which rewards teams based on restaurant evaluations. Shift Managers will enjoy real work-life balance with predictable hours, as most locations operate from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM without drive-thru services. Notably, the company offers comprehensive and customizable benefits packages, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, pet insurance, and a 401(k) plan with matching contributions based on eligibility. Additional employee support programs such as the Employee Assistance Program and Employee Relief Fund reflect Five Guys' commitment to its workforce.

Working at Five Guys offers an engaging, high-energy environment where employees work with premium ingredients and uphold high standards of food quality and safety. This role suits candidates with 1-2 years of supervisory experience in food service or retail who are passionate about creating a positive workspace for their teams and delivering exceptional customer service with enthusiasm and professionalism. The company culture emphasizes humility, exceeding expectations, ethical conduct, and leading by example, all of which are integral to the Shift Manager position's responsibilities and the overall success of the restaurant. Five Guys is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
