“You have to work with the crew… Working side by side with them, gaining their respect, showing them how much you care for the customers and the company.” – Amber Drake, Five Guys Restaurant Manager in San Jose, CA
A job is more
than just the work that you do. It’s who you’re doing it with. It’s
the same with any career, in any field, at any level. There’s no
better place to see this in action than in a Five Guys kitchen.
Having a food
service job at Five Guys puts you in a room with team members that
have high energy, enjoy interacting with people, and thrive in a
fast-faced environment. You’re all there for the same reasons. To
serve customers, of course. To earn a paycheck, definitely! Five Guys
offers great base pay, plus the potential for bonuses and
advancement.
You’re also there
to work with a team that does real cooking on real kitchen equipment,
the kind you’d find in any restaurant. And no freezers – everything
is cooked fresh. Nothing beats working in a place where the product
needs no excuses.
Part of having a
food service job also means working with your managers, and at Five
Guys, the restaurant managers take that role very seriously. Having
the ability to lead and motivate people is not something everyone can
pull-off. It’s a skill that separates good managers from bad, and
it’s one of the most important things we focus on when we hire them.
Last but not
least, a food service job puts you in front of the customer. Five
Guys is an open kitchen, so even if you’re not working the register,
you’re working on their food and serving it right to them. You’re
also making food for your team – Five Guys offers free meals while
you work. Free is nice! But getting a great burger is even nicer, so
it’s one more thing that keeps the team working together, making
great food for everyone.
“Without the
crew, there is no brand. There is no Five Guys. Because it’s the
people that effect the customer and the quality.” – Shawn
Edwards, Manager in St Louis, MO
If these are the kind of people you like working with, you should think about applying for a food service job at Five Guys.
