Person In Charge - IL

Shift Lead — Bloomington, IL

$16-$18/hour. Paid leadership training. A real step toward management.

Run the shift when the GM is off the clock. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone organized, energetic, and ready to step up and a proven path into store management.

What you'll do

• Run the shift and keep service fast, accurate, and friendly
• Oversee opening and closing procedures and daily food prep
• Route deliveries and keep drivers moving
• Own the cash drawers and daily paperwork for your shift
• Keep operational standards on point start to finish

Note: Shift Leads run the shift but don't have supervisory authority (hiring, discipline) over other employees — that stays with management.

Pay and benefits

• $16-$18/hour
• Paid training (Restaurant Safety, Shift Manager, Food Safety, and more)
• Full-time (30+ hrs/week): medical, dental, vision, retirement plan with employer match, paid time off
• Part-time (under 30 hrs/week): paid time off

Qualifications

What you need
