- Q - Will I have to work nights and weekends?
A - One of the most unique features of Steak n Shake is the ability to provide our guests with round-the-clock access to us. Most of our restaurants’ late night business accounts for 12% of their total sales.

A - Most Steak n Shake Managers will work 50 hours a week. This ensures that the entire Management staff is able to enjoy a healthy work-life balance.
- Q - Why would I want to be a Steak n Shake Manager and flip Steakburgers after I spent all this time in college?
A - Being a Steak n Shake Manager is not just about the great food we serve. The average Steak n Shake does $2 Million in sales each year, has 50-70 Associates and sees about 245,000 guests come in the door over the course of twelve months. All those things added together make for an environment ripe for development. You not only get to coach people through good service, you also get to develop your people by hiring and challenging your staff. Participation in marketing is almost inevitable as you can use our local store marketing programs to reach out to schools and business in the area of your restaurant—and all those numbers classes you took in college? They can be used when you analyze your store results and find ways to improve them. Being a Steak n Shake Manager is more than just flipping Steakburgers: it is a real business with real opportunity.
