If you want a restaurant job where the pay grows with how hard you work and how well your store performs — read on.

Five Guys is one of the few quick-service spots that's still actually fresh. No frozen patties. Hand-cut fries. Hand-prepped to order. We're hiring Crew Members at our location.

What The Work Actually Looks Like

We love a busy store. Lunch and dinner rushes are when this job gets good — fast pace, full kitchen, full dining room. You'll be trained across every station — grill, fries, dressing line, and register — and assigned where the store needs you each shift.

Weekends and holidays are part of it. If you like working with your hands, moving fast, and getting paid more when your team performs — keep reading.

What You'll Do

• Hand-prep every burger, slice fresh potatoes, work the grill and fry stations
• Run the register, take orders, handle cash and card
• Bring energy to the open kitchen and call out orders
• Keep the dining room clean — it's part of the brand
• Cross-train across stations so you can step into any role when needed

Who You Are

• Open availability required — we need to be able to schedule you any shift, 7am-10pm, any day of the week
• You show up on time, every shift
• Willing to learn every station
• Stamina to stand a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs occasionally
• No experience needed — full paid training provided

What You Earn

• Cash and credit card tips, paid weekly, split among crew on shift
• Secret shopper bonuses — when your team scores a perfect customer experience, every crew member on that shift gets paid extra on their next paycheck
• Free Five Guys meal every shift
• Paid training — we teach you every station
• Referral bonus when you bring in someone who gets hired

Where This Goes

We promote from within. Most of our Shift Leaders, Shift Managers, and Assistant Managers started right where you'd start. Your General Manager isn't a corporate trainee passing through — they're invested in this store and in your career here. We also run three locally-owned Five Guys stores in the Lexington area, so if your situation changes, you can transfer to a different location instead of starting over somewhere new.
