Office Space
CATHIE URUSHIBATA/Art director
“I lead the creative team, and people think we just do
menus or signage, but it’s more than that with Shake Shack
because we’re seen as a lifestyle brand. We’ll work on any
creative, from T-shirt swag and promo giveaways to social
media graphics and billboard signs. I never thought I’d be
working on an IPO, creating branding for the certificate for
our stock. But those are the types of opportunities here.”MEGAN SCHERER/Senior supply chain manager
“For the monthly supply-chain department meeting,
which usually happens around lunch, one of us is
always responsible for the menu. You can either cook
it yourself, tell the chefs what you’d like, or cook it
alongside the culinary team. A few months ago, a team
member and I partnered up to cook a full-blown Puerto
Rican–Dominican fusion meal in the test kitchen.”ANOOP PILLARISETTI/Director of tech products
“Everything is growing so fast around here. The
common space really lends itself to hanging out and
working together. Every now and then, a tray of Shack-
Burgers will show up and we’ll all convene around
them. That’s a huge part of the environment.”MICHAEL REID/Shift manager
“Because of Shake Shack, I’ve literally seen the world—for
new store openings, I’ve been to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and
the Philippines. It’s been phenomenal. Even though they
spoke different languages, the Shake Shack language and
culture was the same everywhere. That’s the best part.”18 / ENTREPRENEUR.COM / March 2020 Photograph / ADAM FRIEDBERG
