Shift Leader / Manager

Earls Kitchen + Bar

Earls Kitchen + Bar is a family-owned chain of 66 restaurants throughout North America. We’re obsessed with creating quality experiences and doing it in ways—and places—that surprise and delight, while honoring our entrepreneurship-rich past.

More than great food and dining experiences, we believe that our success lies in our Partners: the people that bring our vision to life every day. We train our people on how to lead teams, develop others and strategically operate multi-million dollar stores. We embrace failure as an opportunity to grow, and lead with an entrepreneurial spirit. We’re a family, through and through, and that’s what makes us who and what we are.

The Shift Leader

Shift Leaders at Earls have their finger on the pulse. They’re experts in bringing the Earls Experience to life in the stores, and naturally inspire those around them to do the same. Shift Leaders have a passion for food and beverage, relentlessly pursue memorable guest experiences, and bring the core value of ‘TEAM’ to the restaurant mix. They lead the charge in seeing Earls become the most loved and best run restaurant in North America.
