Barracuda Taco Stand is currently seeking applicants interested leadership roles! Are you a natural leader with a positive attitude, willing to learn both kitchen and front-facing roles, take direction, and enjoy teaching others?

WHO WE ARE // Barracuda is a neighborhood taco stand & margarita garden, offering outdoor dining and takeout, serving high quality tacos on fresh tortillas. We believe that great food and drinks should be prepared simply - at an accessible price point - and foster fun and memorable experiences for a diverse community of people.

We are a busy, high volume restaurant, hiring team members looking to grow!

THE JOB // As a member of the team you provide our customers an exceptional, consistent experience by implementing Barracuda's standards of service, product quality, and cleanliness. We all work to create an environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. As a Shift Lead, you lead by example and support every team member in upholding our standard of service and providing an exceptional guest experience, every time.

Key Components:

Training: The position is designed to offer training and development opportunities. We're committed to preparing you for leadership by honing your skills in day-to-day management of customer experience, team management, and collaboration & execution of high-level strategic initiatives.

Learning All Stations: While you'll be trained on what the Shift Lead position looks like in your first 2-4 weeks, you'll be exposed to all aspects of our operations, from the kitchen to front-facing roles, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of our business. This learning process typically takes approximately 90-180 days, and depends entirely on the candidate's performance.

Open Availability and Timeliness: Dedication and flexibility are crucial in this role. Your commitment to open availability will contribute to the success of our team and your personal development.

Assessment and Progression: Your performance will be consistently assessed as you learn our operations. This ongoing evaluation ensures that you are well-prepared and ready for advancement to the next level before formally placing you on our leadership team. In the event that your performance does not meet the standard for leadership progression, please know that we still consider you a valuable candidate. Should you wish to remain as a part of our team, you are more than welcome to continue contributing to our shared success.

Requirements //

Open Availability: Weekends and evenings required
