What restaurant managers look for
- Availability – opening, day and closing shifts, weekends and holidays, in one readable line.
- Reliability – attendance and tenure; training a crew member takes weeks.
- Customer service under speed – any counter, drive-thru or cash experience.
- Work authorization – one line if you are not a citizen or permanent resident.
A one-page structure that fits the job
Contact details with city and province; a two-line summary naming the role and availability; experience with two bullets per job; skills covering POS, cash, food preparation, cleaning and languages; references with name, position and phone. No photo, no date of birth, no full address – Canadian resumes leave all three off.
Bullets that read like the job
- Served 200+ customers per shift at a drive-thru window while keeping order accuracy above 98%.
- Balanced a till averaging $900 per shift with no variances across eight months.
- Opened the store three mornings a week: baking, stocking and setting up the front counter before 6am.
- Trained two new crew members on the register and cleaning schedule.
Cannabis retail and other Tim Hortons brands
Some Tim Hortons locations share ownership with other quick-service brands, and cannabis retail roles in Canada require provincial authorization. If you apply across brands, keep one base resume and change the headline and the first two bullets – generic documents are the most common reason applications are skipped.
