Shift leader, Restaurant​/Food Service

Position: Shift Leader

The Mission: Lead the Floor. Fuel the Hustle. Smash the Goals.

You’ve mastered the station, you’ve got the energy, and now you’re ready to guide the squad. We’re looking for a Shift Leader who is part pace-setter, part problem-solver, and 100% "Tropitude".

At Tropical Smoothie Café, we’ve ditched the fryers, the grease, and the "blah" corporate attitude. We’re building a culture that’s as vibrant and refreshing as our smoothies. If you’re a high-octane team player who knows how to keep things moving while making sure work feels like a beach breakthrough, we want your leadership.

As our Shift Leader, you aren't just working the line—you are the driving force of your shift. You will:

• Guide the Squad: You’re the on-the-floor coach. You don't just assign tasks; you motivate the crew to bring their absolute best to every order.
• Own the Shift: You’ll keep a sharp eye on shift flow, ensuring deployment is tight, ticket times are low, and tasks are getting done efficiently.
• Guard the Quality: You are a champion of Unparalleled Hospitality and food safety. You make sure every guest leaves happy, the café stays sparkling clean, and every smoothie is a masterpiece.
• Win the Rush: When the peak hours hit, you’re the calm center of the storm—leading the line with speed, precision, and an infectious positive attitude.

• The "No-Fryer" Perk: No grease traps. No oil smells. Just fresh fruit, clean vibes, and a workspace that actually smells good.
• Fast-Track Growth: This is your stepping stone to management. We give you the leadership tools, cash-handling experience, and operations training to prep you for your next big promotion.
• A Culture of "Better": We believe when you eat better, you feel better. You’ll lead a team that lives for health, energy, and high-fives.
• Total Support: You’re not on a deserted island! You’ll have a powerhouse management team backing your decisions and helping you grow.

We want to talk to you if:

• You’re a natural motivator who can keep a team focused and energized during a busy shift.
• You have restaurant/retail experience (restaurant shift lead experience is a plus, but we love promoting rockstar Crew Members ready to level up!).
• You crave a fast-paced, high-energy environment where the clock flies.
• You’re a solution-seeker who sees a line out the door and says, "We've got this."

We have immediate openings for Shift Leaders ready to lead with heart and hustle.
