Shift Manager Newton Area (Monroe, Colfax, Prairie City + More in the Jasper County Region)

Shift Manager

At Pizza Ranch, we're more than just a restaurant we're a community-driven brand that began in Hull, Iowa in 1981. From humble beginnings, we've grown to over 200 locations across over 15 states, proudly serving legendary pizza, crispy chicken, fresh salad, and dessert buffets. Whether it's dine-in, delivery, or takeout, our guests come to us for more than a meal they come for a welcoming experience.

We're committed to making a meaningful difference in every shift, every guest interaction, and every town we serve. From team members to devoted diners, we believe everyone should leave feeling a little better than when they arrived and we work hard to make that happen.

If you're someone who thrives in a positive, people-focused environment, loves serving others, and wants to be part of something bigger, we'd love to meet you.

We're proudly hiring for our Newton, Iowa location and welcome applicants from Monroe, Prairie City, Colfax, Baxter, Kellogg, and the surrounding areas in Jasper County. We'd love to have you join our team in Newton!
