Job Description

Posted on: January 25, 2026

Job Description At Guzman y Gomez, we don’t just run restaurants — we grow leaders. As a Shift Leader with GYG, you’ll be trusted to:

  • Lead and support a team of 10–30 people during your shift, building a positive, high-energy environment where everyone can thrive.
  • Drive results and guest experiences on your shift, making decisions that matter and keeping operations running smoothly.
  • Be part of a fast-growing global brand that’s redefining what fast food looks like with fresh ingredients, authentic flavours, and a bold vision.
  • Take the next step in your career — this role is a launchpad into Assistant Restaurant Management, Restaurant Management, and beyond.

Why join GYG? We’ll back you with the tools, support, and rewards you need to succeed:

  • Competitive salary + performance bonuses.
  • Flexible rosters and long-term stability — let’s talk about what balance means to you.
  • Structured training and ongoing development to sharpen your leadership skills.
  • Heavily discounted GYG meals (yes, every burrito).
  • Free uniforms and exclusive GYG merch.
  • Annual Restaurant Managers Summit — connect and share with leaders across the country.
  • Cultural celebrations like Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo, and more.
  • Employee Assistance Program (Sonder) for you and your family.
  • Future pathways into ARM, RM, Hola Central, or even becoming a GYG Franchisee.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience leading a team in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.
  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to support sales and operations on shift.
  • A history of achieving KPIs and driving results through your team.
  • A genuine passion for customer experience and building great teams.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills — you lead by example.

This is more than a Shift Leader job — it’s an opportunity to lead, grow, and be part of something bigger. Ready to own it? Apply now and lead the future of fast food with GYG.
