Shift Leader

Playa Bowls Shift Leader Opportunity

Playa Bowls is New Jersey's Original Acai Shop, founded in 2014, and our mission is to bring superfruit bowls to the masses using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients while providing a fantastic in-store brand experience. What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into a 300+ unit operator and franchisor of the leading fast casual restaurant concept.

As a Shift Leader at Playa Bowls, you serve as an extension of the management team and are trusted to oversee shop operations in the absence of a manager. You're confident in delegating tasks, leading by example, and making decisions that prioritize the needs of the shop and the team.
