Now Hiring: Shift Manager @ Dave's Hot Chicken

Ready to turn up the heat on your career? Dave's Hot Chicken is on the hunt for a Shift Manager who's equal parts cool under pressure and spicy with leadership skills. If you can juggle the chaos of a dinner rush, coach your team like a champ, and blow guests' minds with legendary service, you might just be our next flame-bringer.

At Dave's Hot Chicken, we do things bold — bold flavor, bold energy, bold leadership. Our Shift Managers don't just run a shift — they turn guests into fans and set the tone for greatness. Here's how we roll:

LEADERSHIP – Set the pace, coach your crew, own your shift

TEAMWORK – We hustle hard, and we do it together

KINDNESS – Respect and uplift every teammate and guest

FUN – Energy, music, and fire food — keep it lively

SERVICE – Blow guests minds, every time

These values aren't just words — they're how we show up and how you'll be measured. Live them loud.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading the flock and keeping your shift cluckin' smoothly
• Making sure every guest walks out saying "That was fire"
• Delegating like a boss (because teamwork makes the heat work)
• Managing food safety, quality, and speed — without breaking a sweat
• Training crew members until they're just as crispy and golden as our tenders
• Keeping the vibe upbeat and organized (even when the line's out the door)
• Handling money, inventory, and shift schedules like a spicy spreadsheet ninja
• Creating craveable experiences that turn guests into fans

You Might Be Our Perfect Recipe If You:

• Are detail-obsessed and thrive in a fast-paced, structured environment
• Can communicate clearly, coach patiently, and keep your cool under pressure
• Have 6–12 months of restaurant or retail leadership experience
• Can lift 50–75 lbs (aka, a saucy amount of chicken) and be on your feet for long shifts
• Are 18+ with a food handler's card and a hunger to grow

Perks of the Coop:

• Competitive pay
• Leadership that respects your hustle
• Real career growth opportunities (we love promoting from within!)
• A people-first company that values Teamwork, Kindness, and Purpose
• Chicken. So. Much. Chicken.

Let's Make This Official: Bring your energy, your edge, and your sauce — and let's fire it up together. At Dave's, we don't just serve heat — we lead with it. Blow their minds. Turn guests into fans.
