About fast food & restaurant jobs
Crew member, cook, and shift lead roles at national fast-food and coffee chains — many hiring at 16. These roles are among the most widely available in the US: large employers hire for them year-round, in most cases with no degree required and on-the-job training. Pay varies by employer, role, location, and shift, so we list the typical range for each company and link you straight to their official careers site to apply.
Every employer page is checked against the company's official careers information and reputable pay data before we publish, and we always point you to the official site to confirm current openings and pay. We are an independent information site — not an employer or recruiter — and we never charge a fee to apply.
