Welcome to Life’s Food , a premier Five Guys franchisee where we lead with a Servant’s Heart . We don’t just sling the industry’s best burgers and fresh-cut fries; we build leaders and support global missions.

• Coach & Mentor: You aren't just a boss; you’re a teacher. You’ll guide Crew Members, keep morale high, and ensure the \No Jerks\ culture stays alive.
• Own the Standard: You’ll be the gatekeeper of quality, cleanliness, and speed, ensuring the team is always ready for our Weekly Secret Shoppers .
• Customer Connection: Lead the charge in high-energy service, resolving issues on the fly and making sure the dining room is spotless.

Who You Are

• Experienced: You have previous leadership experience (Shift Lead, Supervisor, or Manager) in food service or retail.
• High Energy: You thrive in loud, high-volume environments and can keep your cool when the line is out the door.
• Reliable & Ethical: You lead by example. You show up on time, work hard, and always look for ways to help your team.

Perks & Benefits

• Competitive Total Pay: Base Pay + Cash/Credit Tips + Weekly Secret Shopper Bonuses (The harder your team works, the more you earn!).

• Professional Growth: We don't just hire managers; we develop them. We actively promote from within to Assistant and General Management.
• Real Impact: Your hard work directly supports local and global missions through the Life’s Food initiative.
