Shift Lead (Part-Time)
Junior's | Batesville, IN
Junior's is looking for a part-time Shift Lead to join our team.
This position is a great fit for someone who enjoys working with people and wants to help create a positive experience for both our customers and coworkers.
At Junior's, every employee is responsible for the customer's experience. Whether you're making a sandwich, answering the phone, wiping down a table, or helping a teammate during the lunch rush, every interaction matters. We believe people should leave our restaurant feeling like they were genuinely cared for.
If that sounds like the approach you take to your work, we would love to hear from you!
Experience is helpful, but it isn't everything. We can teach someone how to make a great sandwich, operate a meat slicer, or close the restaurant. It's much harder to teach reliability, initiative, humility, and a genuine desire to serve others. We'd rather invest in someone with those qualities than someone with years of experience who doesn't fit our culture.
As a Shift Lead, you'll work right alongside the team every day. You'll make sandwiches, prepare food, serve customers, solve problems, help keep everyone on task, and make sure the restaurant is clean, stocked, and ready for the next shift. You'll also help train newer employees and set the standard through your attitude and work ethic.
