If you're a natural leader who enjoys delivering outstanding guest service, developing others, and working in a fun, fast-paced restaurant, Felipe's is the place to grow your career.

At Felipe's, our Shift Leads oversee the Heladería (dessert station) while helping create an exceptional guest experience. You'll lead by example, coach team members, maintain high standards for quality and cleanliness, and ensure every dessert is prepared quickly, accurately, and consistently.

You'll work closely with the Restaurant Managers and General Manager to support daily operations and help your team succeed.

For over 19 years , Felipe's has served scratch-made, small-batch Mexican food and hand-squeezed Key Lime Margaritas across New Orleans and Southwest Florida.

We're passionate about great food, genuine hospitality, and creating opportunities for our team to grow. If you're ready to take the next step in your restaurant career, we'd love to meet you.

I actually like this title much better than Lead (Heladería) . Shift Lead is a recognized title on Indeed, Google Jobs, and ADP, while "Heladería" still appears in the description to preserve Felipe's unique culture. I think this version will perform much better in search results and attract stronger candidates.
