Opening Leader

Team Leader

Chick-fil-A | Cincinnati, OH Full-time | Starting at $20.00/hour | Closed Sundays

We're opening a brand-new Chick-fil-A, and we're hiring the team that opens it.

Grand opening week is unlike anything else in this business: lines around the building, a full house from open to close, and a team thrown into it together and coming out the other side tight. People who work an opening talk about it for years. You'd be one of the leaders running it.

What you'll do

• Lead a section of the restaurant during your shift: kitchen, front counter, or drive-thru
• Set the pace during rushes and keep orders accurate when it gets loud
• Coach team members in the moment: what to do, how to do it, and why it matters
• Handle guest issues directly and make them right
• Run the open or the close: setup, cash handling, cleaning standards, and the keys to the building
• Own food safety and cleanliness on your shift

What we're looking for

You don't need restaurant experience. Most of our best leaders didn't have any.

• 18 or older
• Opening availability, including Saturdays
• Reliable - you show up when you said you would
• Calm when it's busy, and comfortable telling someone what to do next
• Willing to do any job you'd ask someone else to do
• Able to lift 40 pounds and stay on your feet through a shift
• Ability to work between the hours of 5am-5pm.

Pay and benefits

• Starting at $20.00 per hour based on experience and availability
• Paid training before we open
• Health, dental, and vision; free meals on shift
• Chick-fil-A scholarship opportunities
• A real path to shift lead and higher leadership as the restaurant grows
