  • Own the Standard: You'll be the gatekeeper of quality, cleanliness, and speed, ensuring the team is always ready for our Weekly Secret Shoppers.
  • Customer Connection: Lead the charge in high-energy service, resolving issues on the fly and making sure the dining room is spotless.
Who You Are
  • Experienced: You have previous leadership experience (Shift Lead, Supervisor, or Manager) in food service or retail.
  • High Energy: You thrive in loud, high-volume environments and can keep your cool when the line is out the door.
  • Reliable & Ethical: You lead by example. You show up on time, work hard, and always look for ways to help your team.
  • Mission-Driven: You want to be part of a company that funds charity work locally and globally.
Perks & Benefits
  • Competitive Total Pay: Base Pay + Cash/Credit Tips + Weekly Secret Shopper Bonuses (The harder your team works, the more you earn!).
  • Free Meals: Enjoy a free Five Guys meal every single shift.
  • Professional Growth: We don't just hire managers; we develop them. We actively promote from within to Assistant and General Management.
  • Real Impact: Your hard work directly supports local and global missions through the Life's Food initiative.
