Smitty's™ is one of Canada's largest all-day family restaurant chains, operating from coast to coast. Our dining rooms are particularly popular among families with small children, seniors, and travelers. Almost all of our restaurants are fully licensed and a majority of them have separate lounges to accommodate teams, sports fans, and the happy hour crowd.

From our very first patrons at our first restaurant in Calgary in 1960, to anyone joining us today, Smitty's™ has always been an integral part of your community. On opening day, guests lined up and waited for more than two hours to get in through the door to enjoy some of our signature buttermilk pancakes! Smitty's was an instant hit! And, more than 60 years later, Smitty's™ continues to build on the success of the first day because our franchisees operate their locally-owned restaurants as dedicated members of your community, and have been vital to our growth and success.

We strongly believe in creating an engaging, enthusiastic, and encouraging workplace for our team. And keeping our Team happy and engaged, which keeps our Guests happy, engaged and coming back.

Growth and Careers:

We are focused on a growth mindset with our team members and always encourage further learning to enhance our leaders and coaches skillsets.

Its okay
Has its ups and downs. Understaffed often, schedule not made properly leaving us all struggling. Manager not listening to concerns. Good tips and discounts.

Don't Bother
terrible senior management unless you were friends with the boss and went on vacation with her and her family. Would not work here again as they have unfair work expectations and don't beleive in work life balance

Good workplace
My coworkers were good, but turn over was really high due to the quality of people. Management was really great but the owners were so disruptive of workflow whenever they visited and micromanaged. It’s a good place to work, good tips too. Really chill

Management don’t seem to have time to deal with the business or staff problems. Also long time employees seem to get everything their way.
The most enjoyable part of working at Smittys was the great customers. The owners show up from time to time and have people in charge who aren’t fair or have enough experience to do the job properly.
