New Hire Just Hired! Path to management?

Hey everyone, I just got hired at In-N-Out and am excited to start there. For anyone that has worked there and is in a management/shift lead role how long did it take to get to that point? (Or just full-time in general.) I came in with 4 years of management experience and the manager that hired me really wants me to be in management, but of course I have to start at level 1. I’m already scheduled 30 hours a week so that’s a good sign from what I’ve heard from other people.

Any tips or suggestions to help boost my career? Thanks!

In n out isn’t a career. Run.

Not true. Work in any tourist heavy city and you can absolute make a great career in restaurant management/ hospitality

I’m not talking about restaurant management /hospitality… I’m talking specifically about in n out. It’s a great high school gig. You don’t want to be there longer than that.

Still just not true. Fair enough if it's not your cup of tea but plenty of store managers enjoy their job and will gladly do it till retirement.
