Job Summary Cheba Hut Ben Hur is looking for a Shift Leader who can run a smooth shift, protect the vibe, and hold the standard without acting like a robot.
This role is for someone who can lead from the floor, not from the sidelines. You’ll help guide the crew, keep the shop clean, make sure the food is right, communicate clearly, and jump in wherever the team needs you. Some shifts will be easy. Some shifts will be short-staffed, busy, weird, loud, and messy. We need someone who can stay aware, call audibles, and keep the crew moving in the right direction.
At our shop, we prioritize people over profits and integrity over skillset. Skill matters, but character matters more. We can train systems. We can train checklists. We can train ticket times. We cannot train someone to care, tell the truth, treat people right, and take pride in the shift.
If you can be the thermostat, not the thermometer, meaning you help set the tone instead of just reacting to it, this might be your spot.
What You’ll Do Lead the crew during scheduled shifts
Help create a positive, motivating, and respectful work environment
Uphold Cheba Hut’s “Big 4”: atmosphere, cleanliness, interaction, and product quality
Keep your head on a swivel and maintain awareness of the whole shop
Help make sure food is made correctly, safely, and to Cheba Hut standards
Coach crew members in the moment with respect and consistency
Hold people accountable without playing favorites
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the team during busy or stressful shifts
Help manage labor, productivity, and shift flow
Write prep lists and stock lists based on shop needs
Complete line checks, food safety checks, waste logs, and shift checklists
Maintain FIFO, product rotation, and food safety standards
Communicate important shift notes and team feedback to shop leadership
Help protect the customer experience from the lobby to the line
Call audibles when the shift needs a different plan
Keep service areas, tables, line, bar, bathrooms, and BOH clean and ready
Support the GM and Assistant GM with shop operations
What We’re Looking For We are looking for someone who:
Has integrity and self-direction
Leads by example instead of just giving orders
Can stay calm when the shop gets busy
Understands that leadership means serving the team, not acting above the team
Communicates clearly in both good and difficult moments
Can coach without being disrespectful
Can hold a standard without killing the vibe
Treats every crew member fairly, no favorites
Takes food safety and cleanliness seriously
Is comfortable working in a cannabis-themed restaurant culture
Is willing to solve problems and see things through
Can prioritize when multiple things need attention at the same time
Has strong awareness of guests, crew, product, cleanliness, and timing
Is willing to do dishes, trash, cleaning, prep, line work, and whatever else the shift needs
Experience and Requirements Previous restaurant, hospitality, or leadership experience preferred
Food safety certification required or ability to obtain required certification
Must be able to work nights, weekends, and variable shifts
Must be able to stand for long periods
Must be able to lift up to 47 lbs
Must be able to work in mentally and physically stressful situations
Must be able to work around meat, cheese, breads, sauces, vegetables, and other food products
Overtime may be required
What Makes a Great Shift Leader Here A great Shift Leader at Cheba Hut is not just the person with keys. It is the person the crew can trust.
You notice the lobby before it gets bad. You hear the printer before the line gets buried. You can tell when someone is overwhelmed before they crash. You know when to coach, when to jump in, when to move people around, and when to get the GM involved.
You do not need to be perfect. But you do need to care, own your mistakes, and help the crew get better.
Why Work With Us Cheba Hut is fun, but we are not loose. We joke around, but standards still matter. We want people who can bring personality, hustle, and leadership without ego.
If you want to grow as a leader, build a strong crew, and help create a shop where people actually like working, apply today.
