Celebrating over 20 years of business, KBP Foods has expanded to operate more than 1,000 restaurants across more than 30 states. Their mission is to be a great place to work, a great place to eat, and a great place to own, exemplifying their commitment to excellence in the foodservice industry. As part of this substantial growth, KBP Foods operates several well-known brands, including KFC, a globally recognized fast-food restaurant specializing in fried chicken. The company prides itself on fostering an inclusive culture where individuals can thrive, emphasizing personal, professional, and financial growth opportunities for its team members.

The role of Assistant General Manager at KFC within KBP Foods represents a crucial leadership position in a fast-paced environment where operational excellence, teamwork, and exceptional customer service are fundamental. The Assistant General Manager is responsible for supporting the General Manager in overseeing daily restaurant operations to achieve outstanding service quality and profitability. This position offers an hourly wage ranging between $17 and $23, reflecting the importance and responsibility of the role. The job is located at 7100 W. 119th Street, Overland Park, KS.

In this role, you will lead a team, coach and develop staff, efficiently manage inventory and cash handling, and ensure strict compliance with company policies and health and safety regulations. The position also involves maintaining high standards for food quality and presentation to meet KFC’s established brand expectations. Beyond operational duties, the Assistant General Manager plays a pivotal role in creating a positive work environment and fostering guest satisfaction by quickly resolving any service issues.

KBP Foods offers clear career advancement pathways through its internal leadership development programs, enabling motivated individuals to aspire towards becoming General Managers and advancing further in the organizational hierarchy.
