Shift Leader Expectations

As the "big cheese" on shift, you'll keep things running smoothly from start to finish! That means making sure orders go out quickly and accurately, the food is top-notch, and customers leave happy. You'll also keep the team on track with their tasks, hand out well-earned tips at the end of shifts, and make sure everyone's in the right spot to keep things flowing. Plus, you'll help train new crew members and roll out any updates or changes.

Oh, and let's not forget about the tips-they'll have you rolling in dough (pun absolutely intended). If you're ready to join a crew that works hard, laughs a lot, and makes ridiculously good pizza, we'd love to have you!

• A minimum of 1 year of experience in the restaurant industry is required. Any previous Shift Leading or Supervisory experience is strongly preferred.

• Comfortable and able to handle large sums of money, delegating tasks, providing training, and giving feedback.
• Must be able to stand and walk for long periods, stretch pizza dough for long periods, and bend, crouch, and lift up to 20-50 lbs regularly. This is an active job!
• Must be able to use ovens, pizza cutters, knives, and other related equipment.

Scheduling and Hours

Ian's Pizza will be open Wednesday-Sunday from 11am-9pm, and we're planning to open our doors in April! Opening shifts typically start about 1-2 hours before opening, and closing shifts typically end 1-2 hours after closing. Prep-specific shifts are in the morning before the restaurant opens.

Our restaurants are most busy on evenings and weekends, so availability for these shifts is strongly preferred. Part-time or full-time hours are available. We'll try our hardest to give you the hours and shifts you want, but we can't promise the same schedule or the same number of hours every week.
