Job Description NOW HIRING: Restaurant Lead Welcome to Happies Hand Made—a bold, crave-worthy fried chicken concept brought to life by a Michelin-starred chef. This isn’t your average chicken joint. From Sichuan-spiced tenders to dreamy chicken & waffle combos, all the way to rich, creamy soft serve, we’re reimagining comfort classics and serving them up fast, fresh, and with serious flavor. Our concept is tech-forward where there is no traditional front-of-house, just self-order kiosks and a high-functioning, high-energy kitchen team. We're on the search for our next operational driven, hands-on Restaurant Lead who can lead with confidence, execute with precision, and thrives in both cooking and leadership. We believe that people can taste the difference. In every crisp fry, in every juicy tender, in every sauce made from scratch—there’s a person behind that moment who gave a damn. That person is you. Come be a part of something special.
