Assistant General Manager

KFC, one of the world’s most recognized fast-food brands, is known for its delicious fried chicken and commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Established decades ago, KFC has grown into a global restaurant chain with thousands of locations worldwide. The brand prides itself on delivering a consistently great guest experience through friendly service, clean facilities, and hot, fresh meals. This specific KFC location at 2510 S.W. Military Drive in San Antonio, TX, operates as an independently owned and operated franchise, where the franchisee solely manages employment decisions and operations. This means applicants who join this location will work directly for the franchisee and not KFC Corporation itself. While KFC Corporation provides brand guidelines and corporate standards, individual franchise locations manage their own hiring, wages, and benefits.

The role of Assistant Manager at KFC offers an excellent entry into restaurant management, helping individuals develop leadership skills while contributing to the daily operations and success of a busy restaurant. The Assistant Manager partners closely with the Restaurant General Manager to drive key business success metrics and motivate the entire team toward meeting and exceeding those goals. This leadership position requires a hands-on approach to managing customer service, maintaining exceptional cleanliness standards, and ensuring food quality and presentation align with KFC’s high standards. Additionally, the Assistant Manager is deeply involved in recruiting, training, and mentoring team members, fostering their growth and enhancing workplace morale.

This role is designed for those who thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and are passionate about delivering an outstanding guest experience. Assistant Managers lead by example, demonstrating a commitment to customer service and operational excellence. They communicate business goals, promotional opportunities, and updates clearly and effectively to all team members, helping to build a positive and collaborative work culture. The ability to develop and nurture team members through ongoing training and support is vital, as it helps ensure the restaurant maintains high performance and operational standards.

Success in this position is marked by strong leadership qualities, the ability to work well under pressure, and a genuine pride in upholding KFC’s brand values. Candidates must be 18 years or older with a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, as this ensures consistent attendance and availability. The role offers an opportunity to grow within the KFC restaurant management track, providing foundational skills that can pave the way to General Manager or other advanced leadership positions within the franchise. While exact salary details are typically set by the individual franchisee, career growth and development opportunities are emphasized.

Working as an Assistant Manager at this KFC franchise means contributing to a family-oriented and supportive workplace that values dedication and teamwork. The job posting highlights KFC’s commitment to equal employment opportunities and encourages diverse applicants to apply. Accommodations for disabilities are available upon request, ensuring an inclusive hiring process.
