Shift Manager

Description Tim Hortons is one of North America’s most recognized restaurant brands, known for great coffee, freshly prepared food, genuine hospitality, and being part of the communities we serve. Now, we’re bringing that tradition to the Kansas City area—and building a team that takes pride in the experience we create for every guest. As a Shift Manager, you’ll lead the restaurant during your assigned shifts. You’ll guide team members, organize daily operations, support great guest experiences, and ensure our food, beverages, service, and cleanliness meet Tim Hortons standards. You’ll also be trusted with opening and closing the restaurant, handling building security, and making sound decisions when the General Manager is not on site. If you enjoy leading people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in helping a team succeed, this could be a great fit. What You’ll Do Lead Your Shift Direct and support team members throughout the shift. Assign stations, coach performance, communicate priorities, and maintain a positive, productive work environment. Deliver Great Guest Experiences Lead friendly, accurate, and efficient service. Resolve guest concerns professionally, support your team during rushes, and keep the guest experience at the center of decisions. Own Daily Operations Coordinate food and beverage production, manage breaks and deployment, monitor service speed and product availability, and respond to changing business needs. Open, Close, and Protect the Restaurant Follow opening and closing checklists, manage authorized keys and alarms, complete assigned cash-handling and security procedures, and ensure the restaurant is safe and ready for the next shift. Protect Quality and Standards Maintain food safety, cleanliness, product quality, and equipment standards. Communicate issues promptly, support inventory controls, and help reduce waste. What Success Looks Like We keep our operating philosophy simple: People. Pace. Pride. People You lead with respect, communicate clearly, and help every team member understand their role.
