• • 100% Free Meals before, during, and after your shifts.
  • 20% Off for your family, or for yourself when you are off the clock.
  • 20% Off at Ziggi’s Coffee (our local sister brand!).

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Floor: Supervise daily shift operations, ensuring optimal guest hospitality, immaculate dining room cleanliness, and accurate buffet setups.
• Dual-Threat Operational Support: Pivot seamlessly between directing FOH cash handling/guest service and supporting BOH kitchen efficiency during high-volume rushes.
• Train & Mentor: Onboard, coach, and motivate crew members to execute standard operating procedures, maintain fast speed-of-service, and elevate the guest experience.
• Pristine Standards: Enforce strict adherence to food safety regulations, sanitation guidelines, and shift checklist compliance.
• Shift Accountability: Coordinate guest complaint resolution promptly and handle cash reconciliation securely at the close of shifts.

Qualifications for Success

• Proven supervisory or shift lead experience within a restaurant, fast-casual, buffet, or hospitality environment.
• Strong communication and direction-giving skills with a natural ability to motivate a team.
• High-energy personality with a passion for guest relations and community engagement.
• Dependable, punctual, and comfortable working a flexible 45–50 hour week (including evenings and weekends).
• A collaborative team player who thrives working alongside other managers to keep the business organized and profitable.
