Shift Manager

As a Shift Manager in one of our locations, you'll play a key role in bringing a brand-new restaurant to life. You'll lead fast-paced shifts, helping to set the tone for the team, build a high-energy culture, and ensure every process runs smoothly from day one.
You'll work closely with your team, coaching and supporting them while maintaining high standards in food quality, speed, and cleanliness. No two days are the same, you'll thrive on the variety, the buzz of opening a new site, and the chance to shape something from the ground up.
This is a hands-on, leadership-focused role with real responsibility, perfect for someone who loves building teams, delivering results, and making an immediate impact.

AI Disclaimer
AI can be a useful tool - and we understand many candidates use it for support. That said, we're really interested in you, not an AI-generated version of you.
We want to hear your voice and understand your real experience. Applications or interview tasks that rely heavily on AI may not give us an accurate picture of who you are. Bring your authentic self to the process - that's who we're excited to meet.
