At Five Guys, our shift managers run the kitchen and serve customers alongside their team – like one big family. Watching our managers motivate their crew members from the front line is a site to behold, and ensuring customers arrive happy and leave even happier is their goal.

Being able to lead and motivate people is no small feat. That’s why it is one of the most important skills we focus on when holding manager job interviews.

Why is managing people so important at Five Guys?

As a team-based work environment, it is important for everyone in our kitchens to be on the same page. Crew energy and communication is vital. Without it, customer service can suffer.

Good leadership drives that success.

In every Five Guys store, leadership comes from the shift manager. When working for the success of your team, you're not just managing finances and supplies; you’re also looking after your teammates to ensure they have what they need to come to work enthusiastically, have fun while doing their jobs successfully and go home knowing that their efforts were recognized.
