First Watch is also deeply invested in community support, donating a portion of proceeds from every kid's meal to organizations making a positive impact, with over $1.7 million raised to date. This makes working at First Watch not only a job in a top-tier dining environment but an opportunity to contribute to meaningful community engagement.
