Pizza Hut seeks shift lead in Tell City as county job opening

Pizza Hut’s Tell City restaurant is looking for a shift lead, a position that moves well beyond counter service and into the daily supervision that keeps a small restaurant running. The opening was posted two days ago and is listed as part-time or full-time, making it one of the more accessible paths into leadership for local workers who want steadier hours and added responsibility without jumping straight into a store-management title.

The job centers on keeping shifts organized and customers taken care of. The shift lead would oversee daily operations, coach and motivate team members, maintain a clean and safe environment, and help with food preparation, order accuracy and service delivery. The role can also include opening and closing procedures, problem-solving during a shift and handling business errands such as deposits when needed.

That mix of duties makes the opening especially relevant in Tell City, where restaurants depend on reliable hourly workers and supervisors who can step in when the manager is not in direct view. The qualifications emphasize reliability, communication skills, the ability to lead by example and a willingness to learn restaurant management practices. Flexible scheduling, training and a team-oriented culture are part of the appeal, especially in a county where dependable workers are in short supply.

The local numbers show why openings like this matter. Perry County had a population of 19,170 in the 2020 Census and an estimated 19,389 residents as of July 1, 2025, while Tell City had 7,272 people in the 2020 Census. The county also recorded $31.245 million in total accommodation and food services sales in 2022, underscoring how much the local economy still depends on restaurants and related service jobs.

Pizza Hut’s Tell City location is at 124 State Road 66, Tell City, IN 47586, and the store can be reached at (812) 547-1621. Its listed hours run from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday, and from 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Pizza Hut says it has more than 6,000 restaurants across the United States, giving the Tell City opening the backing of a national chain while still functioning as a very local job.

The broader hiring picture in Perry County is active as well. The Southwest Indiana Workforce Board is hosting a Tell City job fair on June 18 at the Ivy Tech Tell City Career and Technology Center, 1034 31st St., Tell City, IN 47586, where local employers will be on site and the event is open to the public. For workers looking to move up or move in, the county’s service sector still offers a direct route to responsibility.
