Job Description

KFC Corporation, more commonly known simply as KFC, is a globally recognized fast-food restaurant chain famous for its fried chicken and southern hospitality. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, KFC has established an iconic presence worldwide, boasting thousands of locations in numerous countries. At its core, KFC is a fast-food restaurant dedicated to delivering memorable dining experiences featuring flavorful meals prepared with quality ingredients. The brand emphasizes not just food, but also customer satisfaction, engagement, and community connection. KFC's culture centers on teamwork, innovation, and empowering employees to grow both personally and professionally within a dynamic environment.

The specific role being offered is that of an Assistant Restaurant Manager at one of KFC's franchised locations situated at 2003 Southern Boulevard, Rio Rancho, New Mexico. In this position, you will act as the second-in-command at a $1 million-plus business, working closely alongside the Restaurant General Manager to ensure operational excellence, exceptional customer service, and steady business growth. This role is designed for individuals eager to lead and manage a successful fast-food restaurant, overseeing daily operations with keen attention to detail and customer experience.

Assistant Restaurant Managers at KFC are pivotal in creating an environment where team members feel valued and motivated. You will play an important role in hiring, training, and mentoring team members, fostering a work culture filled with energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to high standards. By helping to build and lead a cohesive team, you contribute directly to customer satisfaction and operational success.

This job also offers a pathway for those looking to become full-fledged restaurant managers or pursue a career within restaurant management. The position includes comprehensive training so that you can develop the skills needed to thrive. KFC values leaders who bring positivity, motivation, strong work ethics, and a passion for customer service. As an Assistant Manager, you'll be constantly learning, managing challenges, and finding creative solutions to keep the restaurant running smoothly in a fast-paced environment.

The role also demands reliability and responsibility, including having a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, as some tasks—such as making restaurant deposits—require travel. This position is ideal for individuals who appreciate the excitement of fast-food operations and are eager to make a significant impact on their team and customers.

Because this is a franchise-operated location, the franchise owner will be your employer and handle all hiring decisions and employment matters independently. This responsibility ensures a close-knit team environment and personalized support to help you succeed. KFC Corporation maintains a strong commitment to equal opportunity employment and values diversity and inclusion across all levels.
