As a well-established brand, KFC prides itself on its culture of teamwork, leadership, and customer satisfaction. The environment encourages personal growth through hands-on experience and provides a platform for ambitious individuals seeking management careers in the restaurant business.

The position available is for an Assistant Restaurant Manager, a leadership role essential to the daily operations of a high-volume establishment with revenues exceeding $1 million annually.

This position is perfect for energetic and honest individuals who thrive in a team environment and want to become co-captains in a thriving business. Applicants should be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver's license, and have reliable transportation, as some responsibilities may require travel outside the restaurant, such as making bank deposits.

This job posting is from an independently owned and operated KFC franchise, meaning your application will be reviewed and employment decisions made by the franchisee, who will be your direct employer. Since all franchised locations may have unique requirements, further specifics will be shared after applying. KFC Corporation is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion, welcoming applicants regardless of race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics.
