    Responsibilities
    About the Position
    First Watch Managers love mornings and the smell of bacon, and most importantly, they have an innate passion for serving others. We're not just talking great customer service or amazing food (although customers and food are also high on our list). We hire managers that coach and develop team members who, in turn, fall in love with serving others - and thus the beautiful cycle of restaurant life continues.

    • Responds with a sense of urgency to both customer and employee concerns
    • Communicates and takes immediate ownership of repair and maintenance issues
    • Is certified in food safety - and identifies and coaches in all areas of safe food handling
    • Is continuously scouting for and interviewing candidates to join our team
    • Keeps our company assets secure; including computers, point of sale, security systems and equipment
    • Understands the key responsibilities of every position in the restaurant
    • Puts an immediate stop to any inappropriate behavior, investigates as needed
    • Trains, coaches, and develops team members daily
    • Recognizes performance that goes above and beyond
    • Accounts for all daily revenues and deposits
    • Completes our admin duties - and gets required paperwork in on time
