Restaurant careers

Team Leader might be an entry-level job or an opportunity for a Team Member who has demonstrated growth and leadership skills. Team Leaders might supervise the overall guest experience for an entire shift and/or coach other Team Members, all while continuing to develop their own leadership abilities.

As Team Members demonstrate a proven ability to lead in the restaurant’s quick-paced environment, there may be an opportunity for them to move into a management role.

Supporting the business by communicating, tracking, training and coaching all Team Members, the Restaurant Manager might be a mid-level leadership position that typically leads a full shift or day-part. In addition to leading other Team Members, Restaurant Managers are often committed to showing hospitality to and serving the customers.

As core members of the restaurant leadership team and key business partners for the Restaurant Operator, Restaurant Director or other senior leadership positions might be available in specific areas of the restaurant business like Human Resources, Marketing, Training, Operations and more.

A Restaurant Director (or another senior leadership position) might oversee a department within the business and be responsible and accountable for business results in that department. Because of this higher level of responsibility, these roles could require many years of prior, related experience.
