.Working at A&W Food Services of Canada is about more than just serving great burgers — it’s about being part of something bigger.

When you join our team, you’re on the front lines of a brand that continues to raise the standard in fast food. From eliminating plastic straws, to serving root beer made with all-natural flavours, to leading the way with plant-based options like the Beyond Meat Burger — we don’t wait for change… we lead it.

We’re committed to doing what’s right for our food, our people, our communities, and our environment — and we’re looking for team members who take that same pride in how they show up every day.

Who We’re Looking For

We don’t just hire anyone.

We’re building award-winning teams made up of people who:

• Take real pride in their work
• Show initiative without needing constant direction
• Care about the details that others overlook
• Bring strong, positive energy to every shift
• Hold themselves to a high standard — because they want to, not because they’re told to

If you’re someone who wants to be part of a team that stands out, performs at a high level, and supports each other — you’ll thrive here.

Important to Know

Each A&W location is independently owned and operated by a local Franchisee, which means every team is built with intention and care. Hiring decisions are made at the restaurant level, allowing us to bring in people who truly align with our culture, expectations, and commitment to excellence.
