Most management positions are filled from within the company. That means two things. Most of our managers started out as waitstaff, bartenders or any of the numerous hourly positions Pappas offers. That also means that our managers know the business inside and out. It takes exceptional management skills, integrity, attention to detail and customer service knowledge to manage one of our restaurants. But the good thing about Pappas is that we'll help you get there.
Pappas Restaurants also has an amazing Fast-Track Management Program. We recruit the best and brightest from college campuses and job fairs from all over the country to join this four to five month training program that rotates though all the various positions in the restaurant.
We're constantly focused on growth, innovation and engaging our staff in the business. So, not only will we train you to be the best of the best, but we will help you build a successful and rewarding career.
