Shift Lead (Donelson Location)

Think you’ve got the charm to motivate a team, the calm to handle a dinner rush, and the instincts to keep a restaurant running like a well-oiled pasta machine? Then you might be our next Shift Lead at our Donelson Location!

At Nicoletto’s, we want leaders who lift the room, solve problems before they become problems, and keep the good vibes rolling—even when the tickets won’t stop printing.

• Motivate and support your team with clear communication and confident leadership.
• Handle opening/closing duties, cash management, and all the little details that matter.
• Jump in wherever needed to keep service sharp and guests happy.
• Keep standards high, energy positive, and chaos to a minimum.

What We’re Looking For

• Restaurant experience and a knack for leading people the right way.
• Quick-thinking problem solver with a steady head and strong work ethic.
• Someone who shows up, pitches in, and sets the tone for the team.
• A guest-first mindset and a desire to grow.
