It feels good to me," says Amanda Lehmann, First Watch Director of Operations. Amanda can be found cooking, hosting and guiding her staff in best practices at any time in her numerous First Watch locations (two in Springfield, one in Joplin, one in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri; and three in Northwest Arkansas). "Serving people is the best part about working for First Watch," Amanda notes. "I love being in customer service." Hit refresh A great way to start a healthy meal is with a refreshing concoction from the First Watch juice bar. Check out the Cranberry Crush juice, a tangy blend of cranberry, Fuji apple, lemon, cane sugar and cinnamon. Or choose Purple Haze, a refreshing and magical blend of lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender. Or perhaps a little Morning Meditation (orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet) or Kale Tonic (kale, Fuji apple, cucumber and lemon.) You can even boost your juice with a wellness shot of vitamins B3, C & D, zinc, echinacea and elderberry.
