Job Description

KFC, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a globally recognized restaurant brand known for its signature fried chicken and commitment to serving quality meals with southern hospitality. Established over 80 years ago, KFC has grown into one of the world's leading quick-service restaurant chains with thousands of locations worldwide. This particular position is with an independently owned and operated franchise located at 1201 Covert Avenue, Evansville, IN. While the restaurant maintains KFC's global standards, this franchise is managed locally by the franchisee, who is responsible for employment decisions and overseeing all operational aspects. Working at this franchise gives you the opportunity to be a part of a larger brand while experiencing the close-knit feel of a local business.

The role on offer is for an Assistant Restaurant Manager, a crucial leadership position within this bustling restaurant. As an Assistant Manager, you will be second in command of a restaurant generating over one million dollars in annual revenue. This dynamic role blends operational oversight, team leadership, customer service excellence, and business growth initiatives. You will work closely with the Restaurant General Manager to ensure smooth daily operations, maintain high standards of food safety and quality, and foster a positive and productive work environment. Your leadership will directly contribute to creating memorable customer experiences and driving the restaurant's success. The position is ideal for those aspiring to manage their own business someday, offering on-the-job training that equips you with the skills necessary to excel in restaurant management. This job is not just about fulfilling tasks but about becoming a key part of a team that values fun, motivation, and customer satisfaction. You will help build a winning team culture rooted in honesty, energy, and high standards. With a focus on continuous learning and growth, this role offers both challenges and rewards in a fast-paced, ever-changing restaurant setting. The position is open to individuals 18 years or older, with a valid driver's license and reliable transportation, preparing you for responsibilities like making banking deposits and leading by example on the restaurant floor. KFC prides itself on being an Equal Opportunity Employer, welcoming diverse applicants and offering a supportive environment where your work truly matters. If you want to be part of a successful business where life tastes better, this Assistant Restaurant Manager role provides an excellent career stepping stone with comprehensive training and growth potential.
