About the Position

First Watch Managers love mornings and the smell of bacon, and most importantly, they have an innate passion for serving others. We’re not just talking great customer service or amazing food (although customers and food are also high on our list). We hire managers that coach and develop team members who, in turn, fall in love with serving others – and thus the beautiful cycle of restaurant life continues.

We have immense pride in our food which is why we don’t subscribe to the old BOH versus FOH management structure. At First Watch, each manager is responsible for supervising both kitchen operations and the overall dining experience.

Coaches and observes the First Watch Five Steps of Service being implemented at every table
Understands the background story of our 10 Commitments – and puts them into action
Responds with a sense of urgency to both customer and employee concerns
Communicates and takes immediate ownership of repair and maintenance issues
Is certified in food safety – and identifies and coaches in all areas of safe food handling
Is continuously scouting for and interviewing candidates to join our team
Keeps our company assets secure; including computers, point of sale, security systems and equipment
Understands the key responsibilities of every position in the restaurant
Puts an immediate stop to any inappropriate behavior, investigates as needed
Trains, coaches, and develops team members daily
Recognizes performance that goes above and beyond
Accounts for all daily revenues and deposits
Completes our admin duties – and gets required paperwork in on time

Who We Are:

First Watch is the leading Daytime Dining concept serving made-to-order breakfast, brunch and lunch using the freshest ingredients available. Guided by its “Follow the Sun” culinary philosophy, First Watch's chef-driven menu rotates multiple times per year to feature the highest-quality flavors at their peak, offering elevated executions of classic favorites, fresh juices like the Kale Tonic, and fan favorites such as the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Power Bowl and signature Million Dollar Bacon. For every kid’s meal served, First Watch proudly donates a portion to organizations and causes making a positive impact in our communities – raising approximately $2.3 million to date. A recipient of many “Best Breakfast” and “Best Brunch” awards, First Watch was voted #1 Best Breakfast by Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, and also named 2025 and 2024’s #1 Most Loved Workplace® in America by the Best Practice Institute – an accolade most recently featured in The Wall Street Journal – after appearing on the list in 2022 and 2023, as well. With a commitment to quality, hospitality and community, First Watch is redefining Daytime Dining across more than 660 restaurants in 33 states. For more information, visit www.firstwatch.com.
