Job Description

Five Guys is a renowned fast casual restaurant chain known for its commitment to delivering outstanding burgers and fries made from fresh, high-quality ingredients.

As a rapidly expanding brand with plans to open over 1000 new locations across North America, Five Guys prides itself on creating real career growth opportunities, promoting from within, and maintaining a positive and motivating company culture that values hard work and integrity.

The role of Shift Manager at Five Guys is pivotal in maintaining operational excellence during the General Manager's absence.

The company offers a comprehensive and customizable benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and pet insurance, alongside a 401(k) retirement plan with matching contributions based on eligibility. Additional support programs such as an Employee Assistance Program and an Employee Relief Fund reflect Five Guys' commitment to employee wellbeing.

The culture encourages professionalism in food quality and safety while maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere. Employees benefit from perks like free meals during shifts and a Secret Shopper bonus plan, which rewards teams based on customer service evaluations. Five Guys also emphasizes core values encapsulated in their "REAL" Convictions: Remain Humble, Exceed Expectations, Always Do The Right Thing, and Lead By Example, guiding managers to uphold high ethical and operational standards.
