Job Description
Five Guys is a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain famous for serving outstanding burgers and fries, emphasizing fresh ingredients, high-quality products, and a customer-centric approach. Established with a commitment to clean restaurant environments and top-tier customer service, Five Guys has grown to become a leader in the foodservice industry. The company continues to expand aggressively with plans to open more than an estimated 1000 new locations across North America, which underscores the vast opportunities for career advancement and growth within the organization. Known for its fun and dynamic work culture, Five Guys takes food quality and safety very seriously, while maintaining an enjoyable atmosphere for both employees and customers alike. The company values honesty, energy, motivation, and fun in its team members, creating a workplace where high standards are set and exceeded consistently.
The Shift Manager role at Five Guys is pivotal for the smooth operation of each restaurant. These managers are fully trained to perform all duties of Crew Members and Shift Leaders, but also take on additional responsibilities in the absence of the General Manager. This role includes directing daily restaurant operations to ensure full compliance with company standards across all areas including product preparation and delivery, customer relations, restaurant cleanliness, team management, and inventory control. Shift Managers lead by example, fostering a positive work environment and enabling growth opportunities for team members. This position offers a competitive hourly pay of $18.00 plus tips and a bonus, reflecting the valuable contributions Shift Managers make to the restaurant’s success.
Employees in this role can expect real work-life balance with operation hours typically from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. without drive-thru service, which can contribute to a manageable work schedule. Benefits are comprehensive and customizable including medical, dental, vision, pet insurance, a 401(k) plan with matching contributions based on eligibility, an Employee Assistance Program, and an Employee Relief Fund. Additionally, Shift Managers participate in a Secret Shopper bonus plan that rewards the entire team based on weekly secret shopper visits. This incentive encourages maintaining exceptional standards in service and quality, directly benefiting employees financially.
Five Guys seeks candidates with 1-2 years of supervisory experience within food service or retail environments who are passionate about creating a great workplace for their team. Ideal candidates are energetic, honest, motivational, and fun individuals who thrive on delivering excellent customer experiences with enthusiasm and a big smile. Shift Managers at Five Guys embrace the core company convictions: remain humble, exceed expectations, always do the right thing, and lead by example. These values shape every aspect of the role and help build a supportive, high-performing team culture.
Working at Five Guys means entering a fast-paced, high-energy environment where you can sharpen your leadership skills, grow your career, and enjoy meaningful benefits. You will have access to free meals while working, making it easier to balance work demands alongside your personal needs. Five Guys prioritizes equal employment opportunity and actively works towards increasing representation of women, people of color, veterans, and individuals with disabilities within the company. By joining this vibrant team, Shift Managers play a crucial role in delivering the exceptional dining experience Five Guys is known for while advancing their professional journey in a supportive company with a strong future outlook.
