The Climb: Leadership Accelerator is a fast-track development program designed to identify and develop proven leaders into Operations Specialists (Shift Leader) within an accelerated timeframe.

This program exists to meet a critical need: building strong, capable leaders who can execute at a high level and lead teams effectively in a fast-paced restaurant environment.

Unlike the standard development pathway, this program is:

• Accelerated (8-9 months vs. 1.5-2 years)
• Performance-based (not time-based)
• Selective (designed for experienced leaders only)

This is not an entry-level development path. It is a fast-track opportunity for individuals who have already demonstrated leadership and are ready to be challenged.

Who This Is For

This program is designed for individuals who:

• Have prior leadership experience in a fast-paced environment
• Have directly professionally led teams of 5-15+ people
• Are comfortable holding others accountable
• Are eager to grow quickly and take on responsibility
• Have open availability

Minimum Requirements:

• 1 year of leadership experience
• Demonstrated leadership experience (shift lead, supervisor, team lead, etc.)
• Ability to work both Front of House and Back of House
• Strong work ethic and reliability
• Willingness to be coached and developed

This Program Is NOT For:

• Individuals seeking quick promotion without proven leadership experience
• Those unwilling to work both FOH and BOH
• Candidates with limited availability
• Individuals who struggle with accountability or feedback
• Struggles to work in a fast paced environment

Expectation

• Maintain open availability throughout program and first 4 months of leadership
• Strong attendance and reliability
• Limited time-off flexibility during the first 60 days
• Willingness to work both FOH and BOH
• Consistent demonstration of Team Behaviors
• Accept and apply feedback quickly
• Maintain performance under pressure
• Lead by example at all times

Program Structure

The Climb is structured into three developmental phases over approximately 8-9 months. Progression is based on performance, not time. Participants will receive incremental raises as they advance through the process. Starting pay will begin at $20.50 and successful competition of the program and promotion to Operation Specialist will be paid at $24.

Ideal timeline:

Phase 1: Restaurant Foundations

• FOH & BOH Mastery

Phase 2: Restaurant Impact

• Food Production & Throughput

Phase 3: Restaurant Influence

• Train others to mastery

Phase 4: Leadership Application

• Help impact business goals, coach and develop team members

Supplemental pay

• Other

Benefits

• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
