Join the leadership team at a Restaurant at the Forefront of QSR Innovation

At Steak 'n Shake, we're blending our rich heritage with bold innovation to redefine what a quick-service experience can be with a relentless focus on hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcome, valued, and cared for. As a Shift Manager, you won't just manage; you'll lead from the front. This is a hands-on leadership role for those who take pride in operational excellence through doing the work, not just directing it.

Reporting directly to the Franchise Partner, you will ensure business and strategic goals are met through team leadership.

What You'll Do

Restaurant Leadership & Operations

  • Lead by example-actively working the line, prepping food, maintaining cleanliness, and serving guests across all shifts: opening, mid-day, and closing.
  • Wear a professional uniform daily-shirt and tie or collared blouse-setting the tone for team presentation and upholding all brand standards, food safety practices, and service protocols.

Job Requirements

  • 1+ years of QSR or fast-casual restaurant management experience required.
  • Proven history of consistent work tenure and reliable leadership.
  • Deep understanding of food cost management, labor optimization, and operational KPIs.
  • Hands-on leadership-comfortable working the drive-through or grill when needed.
  • Tech-savvy with POS systems, inventory platforms, and invoice tools.
  • Strong physical stamina: can lift 50 lbs., stay on your feet all day, and thrive in a fast-paced kitchen.
  • Professionalism that extends to your LinkedIn profile (if you have one) and resume-both should tell the same story.
  • Track record in driving hospitality excellence and navigating change in a team setting.
  • Minimum of 18 years of age.

At Steak 'n Shake, we don't just compete on pay - we lead the market. We are a Maximum Wage Employer, paying the highest hourly rates within 25 miles of our restaurants - plus unique bonus pay options!

About the Company

The Steak n Shake Company

Steak ‘n Shake was founded in February, 1934 in Normal, Illinois. Gus Belt, Steak ‘n Shake’s founder, pioneered the concept of premium burgers and milk shakes.

For over 80 years, the company’s name has been symbolic of its heritage. The word “steak” stood for STEAKBURGER. The term “shake” stood for hand-dipped MILK SHAKES. Gus was determined to serve his customers the finest burgers and shakes in the business. To prove his point that his burgers were exceptionally prime, he would wheel in a barrel of steaks (including round, sirloin, and T-bones) and grind the meat into burgers right in front of the guests. Hence arose the origin of our famous slogan, “In Sight It Must Be Right.”

After 80 years, we are continuing Steak n Shake’s tradition of serving the country’s best, freshest, and tastiest burgers and shakes.
