Job Description

KFC, a world-renowned fast-food restaurant chain, is synonymous with its signature fried chicken and exceptional customer service, operating over thousands of locations worldwide. Established with a rich heritage of southern hospitality, KFC not only fills people up but aims to fulfill lives through its food and community engagement. At KFC, the commitment goes beyond serving great meals — it’s about creating a welcoming environment where employees can grow, have fun, and foster camaraderie. Known for its entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to quality, KFC prides itself on a culture that is honest, energetic, motivational, and fun, making it a desirable place to work for those who share these values. This position is located at an independently owned KFC restaurant at 1128 E Huntington Dr, Duarte, CA, where the franchisee operates the business autonomously, providing a unique local flavor to a global brand.

The Assistant Restaurant Manager role at KFC is a pivotal position that offers an exceptional opportunity for individuals looking to step into a management role within the fast-paced and dynamic restaurant industry. This role is perfect for someone aspiring to run their own business one day but currently seeks guidance and training to build the necessary skills. As the second-in-command at a restaurant with a business revenue of over 1 million dollars, the Assistant Manager works closely with the Restaurant General Manager to drive the business forward by making each customer's day special through excellent service and high-quality food. The Assistant Manager plays a key role in fostering a winning team environment by motivating and leading staff, maintaining high standards in food preparation and customer service, ensuring operational excellence, and supporting health and safety compliance. Training is provided to equip you with all necessary skills; however, having a natural leadership quality and a customer-first attitude is essential. This position demands enthusiasm for challenges and an ability to thrive in a vibrant restaurant atmosphere where no two days are the same. The role requires an individual who is at least 18 years old, holds a valid driver’s license, and has reliable transportation to sometimes handle bank deposits for the restaurant. This position is perfect for individuals who are energetic, honest, motivational, and eager to learn and develop their career within the hospitality industry. Working at this KFC franchise means becoming part of a great culture that values high standards, team success, and customer satisfaction. By joining this role, you are not just taking a job but becoming part of a family that believes life tastes better with KFC.
