First Watch Spain

Making Days Brighter At Every Opporunity

We believe that a day well spent starts with the company you keep. That's why we are dedicated to ensuring the happiness of our people by giving them the support they need to succeed in all they do. We aim to impress at every opportunity. 

First Watch has been named a top 100 Most Loved Workplace® by Newsweek and the Best Practice Institute (BPI) in 2022.  Ranked as one of four restaurant companies on Newsweek’s second annual list, First Watch was recognized by its more than 10,000 team members for exceptional employee satisfaction and happiness at work.

Earlier this year, First Watch was honored with ADP’s coveted Culture at Work Award, which also recognized the company’s efforts to create a quality of life and thriving culture for its teams that is unparalleled in the restaurant industry.

Yeah, it’s true. We love our employees more than bacon. And that says a lot. Together, we enjoy a fun, fast-paced environment in each of our restaurants. If you like what you see at our restaurants, then apply today. We are currently searching for energetic people who can deliver top-notch service, build meaningful relationships and become part of our team. First Watch Restaurants are popping up across the U.S. and we’re always on the lookout for future leaders.

Even though we operate hundreds of First Watch restaurants across the country, we like to think of ourselves as your local hometown spot. Why? We understand that without the support of our great communities, we wouldn’t be able to operate so many successful restaurants, so it’s only natural that we give back when we have the chance!

• Project Sunrise:  Most recently, we introduced our new philanthropic coffee program called Project Sunrise. This new quality coffee is made from beans grown in the Huila region of Colombia, where a group of female farmers called Mujeres en Café (women in coffee) work tirelessly to produce the highest quality coffee they know how. Many of these women have lost their husbands, brothers and sons in the country’s decade’s long civil conflict. First Watch pays a premium for their product, which they reinvest in their farms and communities. 
• Kids Helping Kids: We're donating 25 cents from the sale of every kids meal at our locations nationwide to the V Foundation for Cancer Research. 100% of these donations go toward pediatric cancer research and programs. Our goal? To reach $500,000 in one year!
• Nonprofit Support: At each new restaurant opening, we give customers the opportunity to donate to local nonprofit organizations during our Friends & Family pre-opening weekend. We’ve raised hundreds of thousands over the years for causes such as food security, education and youth services.
• Investing in a Greener Future: We replaced 30 million plastic straws in our restaurants nationwide with phade®, a marine biodegradable and compostable straw that naturally breaks down in the ocean in a matter of months. Sip, sip, hooray!
• You First Fund: The You First Fund supports employees and their immediate families experiencing significant financial hardship with direct assistance. To date, the fund has granted $800,000+ in tax-free grants to cover immediate needs such as rent and mortgage, utilities, food and groceries, childcare and any other hardship created by the pandemic.
