A&W restaurants hire crew members for the cash and the kitchen, plus supervisors and assistant managers. Toronto crew ads list $17.60 an hour, and a full-time supervisor post in Rockland, Ontario offers $19.20.
Because every location belongs to a franchisee, the owner named in the posting is the one who would employ you.
