First Watch Restaurants

Why First Watch?

Want to greet the sunrise with us as part of our team? Here at First Watch, we pride ourselves on our fresh food, but creating meaningful experiences, relationships and flexibility for our people is just as important to us.

We put our employees first, so they, in turn, put our customers first – because our award-winning culture is always on the menu. The best part? Whether you’re looking for a part-time or full-time position, there are no night shifts, ever. Our team works side-by-side during one shift only, so you clock out while the sun’s still up, every day.

We understand the importance of taking care of our team members. It’s why we offer an array of medical, dental, vision and supplemental benefits to help maintain your mental and physical health, among other perks. Feeling hungry yet? Good, because all employees are eligible to receive a meal discount at company-owned restaurants, and your family and friends’ meals are also eligible when you dine with them.

We hope you’ll join for the hours and stay for the team. Because when you’re part of First Watch, there is certainly no shortage of ways to keep it fresh!
