Shift Lead

$17 per hour

Five Guys

Shift Leader

The pay for this position starts at $17.00/hour +Tips +Bonus

Be a Leader. Be a Difference Maker.

At our restaurant, Shift Leaders aren't just supervisors—they're hands-on leaders who set the tone for every shift. You'll lead by example, work side-by-side with your team, and ensure every guest walks out impressed.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love working with people, and want to grow your career, this is your next step.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the shift and step in to run operations when management isn't on site
  • Jump into every position—cashier, grill, prep, fries, dining room—no task is too small
  • Deliver fast, accurate service and create a great guest experience every time
  • Coach, support, and motivate crew members to perform at their best
  • Help train new team members and build a strong, positive culture
  • Keep the restaurant clean, safe, and up to brand standards
  • Manage shift tasks like breaks, cash handling, and closing reports

What We're Looking For

  • 1–2 years of restaurant, retail, or hospitality experience (leadership preferred)
  • A team-first mindset with strong communication skills
  • Someone who leads by doing—not just directing
  • Ability to stay cool and make decisions in a fast-paced environment
  • Basic math and comfort using POS systems

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Real growth opportunities—many leaders move into Assistant and General Manager roles
  • Fast-paced, high-energy team environment
  • Hands-on leadership experience every shift
  • Be part of a brand that values quality, teamwork, and consistency

Work Environment

  • On your feet, active, and engaged throughout your shift
  • Work around hot equipment and in a busy kitchen setting
  • Lift, move, and handle supplies as needed

Certifications

  • Food safety certification (such as ServSafe) preferred

Ready to Lead? Apply Today.

Join a team where hard work is recognized, growth is encouraged, and every shift matters.
