Operations Leader

Restaurant Manager

We're looking for a proactive, compassionate leader who will care for our people and help them grow while managing the never-ending demands of a busy restaurant. Sound like the right challenge for you? Read on!

The Restaurant Manager role is one of the toughest jobs in our restaurant. But it is every bit as rewarding as it is demanding. On any given shift, you will have the opportunity to teach and empower the 8 to 25-person team of people you lead. You will facilitate outstanding, remarkable service for countless guests and make sure they walk away smiling! You will have your hands in everything from cash and inventory to systems management to team member development and so much more, which will help you learn skills and gain experience that will be valuable to you for a lifetime. Your leadership will have a huge impact on our restaurant's success. The ultimate goal of this person will be to serve long as a top leader in an even larger capacity or pursue becoming an operator within the next 3-5 years.

So if you love to serve others, have a strong desire to lead, are hardworking and professional, and are committed to learning and improving every day, we welcome you to apply!

Here are the details:

Don't worry—you won't be alone! You will have lots of support from your team and from the Director team, to whom you'll report. But at the end of a successful day, you can go home with the satisfaction of knowing that it couldn't have happened without you!
• Help others grow personally and professionally: You are the leader our team will interact with the most, which means that you will be able to provide them with feedback that will lead to the biggest growth. You will empower them to learn what they're capable of by holding them accountable to doing excellent work and giving them critical feedback when they need it. The way you treat your team is the way they will treat our guests and each other, so it's so important that you help them feel valued, supported, and cared for.
• Fiercely protect our culture and our standards: We are counting on you to live our values every day and to instill them in the people you lead. In doing so, you will help us protect our culture of empathy, growth, teamwork, and stewardship, as well as our standards in hospitality, quality, and speed.
• Work with a fast-paced, high-performing team: If you've ever been to a Chick-fil-A at lunchtime, you know it can get crazy busy. We are known as a company that gets things done fast and right, no matter how long our lines are! We will rely on you to lead your team in a way that helps us keep our reputation for fast, friendly, remarkable service.
