We get it you want a flexible job youre excited about, co-workers you enjoy, and work you can be proud of. You can find that at Tazikis. Experience is great, but not required - we can teach you everything you need!

YOUR ROLE

Being a Tazikis Shift Leader means you get excited about fresh food and have a desire to serve guests, making meaningful connections with them. It means you step up to the task of being responsible for the restaurant and the team working when your AGM or GM isnt on duty. It means you set the tone for the shift, whether opening, mid, or closing, and give clear and calm directions to your staff about their duties, supporting or working stations when needed. It also means being able to provide immediate and helpful responses to guest questions.

WHAT YOUR TEAMMATES SAY

I enjoyed working at Taziki's. I was friends with all of my co-workers so it felt like a family! I had good pay and great hours! I enjoyed learning how to do a lot of things in the kitchen!

It has been by far my favorite job. I love the brand and what Taziki's stands for. The food is all fresh every day, everything is made that morning.

A DAY IN YOUR TAZIKIS LIFE

Each day at Tazikis is a little different - part of what keeps it exciting as a Taziki's Shift Leader! You might have an opening shift or a closing shift. For an opening shift, mornings are spent helping your prep crew ready the store for lunch service and preparing catering orders for guests, keeping a close eye on food safety practices and recipe perfection. Before the doors open, gather your team for pre-shift (or even family meal!), and catch them up on the newest Tazikis updates like a recipe change or a new feature of our Taz Rewards program. Youll enjoy meeting the great people in your community as you touch tables and help guests with their Take-Out orders - get to know them by name! During the afternoons, managing shift change, youll juggle helping on the line while getting a PM prep sheet ready or looking ahead at dinner orders coming in online. If youre working a PM shift, once you check the state of your teams stations, youll help the team push through busy online ordering hours for Take-Out dinners while giving Dine-In guests great service as well. As the shift winds down, youll use your evening counts and tomorrows catering orders to make prep sheets for your AM team, setting them up for another successful day!
