Job Summary Cheba Hut Ben Hur is looking for a Shift Leader who can run a smooth shift, protect the vibe, and hold the standard without acting like a robot. This role is for someone who can lead from the floor, not from the sidelines. You’ll help guide the crew, keep the shop clean, make sure the food is right, communicate clearly, and jump in wherever the team needs you. Some shifts will be easy. Some shifts will be short-staffed, busy, weird, loud, and messy. We need someone who can stay aware, call audibles, and keep the crew moving in the right direction.

We cannot train someone to care, tell the truth, treat people right, and take pride in the shift. If you can be the thermostat, not the thermometer, meaning you help set the tone instead of just reacting to it, this might be your spot.
