Overview:

Our YOU FIRST Philosophy

In addition to no night shifts and our fully chef-curated menu, our #1 priority has always been our people. We care about our customers, and we care about you!

About the Position

First Watch Managers love mornings and the smell of bacon, and most importantly, they have an innate passion for serving others.
