• Partner with the Front of House Shift Leader to communicate business needs, staffing adjustments, and operational priorities.
• Maintain the highest standards of food safety, food quality, cleanliness, and operational procedures.
• Monitor production levels and make proactive adjustments to meet changing business demands.
• Ensure team members are following recipes, procedures, and Chick-fil-A standards.
• Balance food quality, speed of service, accuracy, and team care when making operational decisions.
• Identify operational challenges and implement solutions to keep the shift running smoothly.
• Foster a positive, encouraging work environment where team members feel supported and empowered.

Qualifications

• Restaurant or quick-service leadership experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and coach a team in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to make sound decisions under pressure.
• Commitment to food safety, quality, and operational excellence.
• Ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities while maintaining attention to detail.
• Positive attitude, servant leadership mindset, and a desire to develop others.
• Ideal availability 5:30am-2:30pm

Successful Shift Leaders think beyond completing tasks-they anticipate needs, solve problems before they become obstacles, and inspire their team to perform at a high level. They understand that every decision impacts the guest experience, the team''s success, and the overall operation. They lead with confidence, humility, accountability, and care, creating an environment where both people and performance thrive.
