Five Guys is a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain known for its outstanding burgers and fries served in clean, welcoming environments with a strong focus on top-tier customer service. Established with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Five Guys has grown significantly with plans to open more than an estimated 1000 new locations across North America. The company prides itself on promoting from within and offers comprehensive and customizable benefits to its team members, including medical, dental, vision, pet insurance, 401(k) with company match, an Employee Assistance Program, and an Employee Relief Fund. The work environment at Five Guys is fast-paced and high-energy, catering to those who enjoy working with fresh ingredients and focusing on food quality and safety in a fun and supportive culture. The company fosters real career growth opportunities and emphasizes creating great places to work for its employees.

The role of a Shift Manager at Five Guys is pivotal to the smooth operation of each restaurant location. Shift Managers are trained to perform all duties performed by Crew Members and Shift Leaders, but with added responsibilities that include overseeing daily restaurant operations in the absence of the General Manager. This requires ensuring compliance with company standards in all operational facets such as product preparation and delivery, customer relations, restaurant maintenance, team management, and inventory control. The Shift Manager is also responsible for motivating the team, maintaining high standards, and helping create an enjoyable environment for both staff and customers. Compensation for this role is competitive, with a base pay of $18.50 per hour plus tips and bonuses, including a Secret Shopper bonus plan. All team members working during Secret Shopper visits are eligible for bonuses based on the results, further incentivizing excellent performance. The position offers real and consistent work hours, generally from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm, with no drive-thru service, which supports a balanced work-life schedule for employees. The Shift Manager role is ideal for individuals with 1 to 2 years of supervisory experience in food service or retail, who are energetic, honest, motivational, and committed to delivering exceptional customer experiences. Five Guys values core convictions such as humility, exceeding expectations, doing the right thing, and leading by example, all of which are expected to be upheld by Shift Managers. Overall, this position offers a unique opportunity to grow within a reputable company, lead a dynamic team, and contribute to maintaining Five Guys’ outstanding reputation for service and quality.
