Job Description

KFC, one of the world's most beloved quick-service restaurant brands, is known for its delicious, world-famous fried chicken and friendly, southern hospitality. This particular opportunity is with a restaurant location independently owned and operated by a franchisee, meaning that the franchisee will review your application and manage all hiring decisions, as well as be responsible for your employment. Working at KFC is about more than just a job or a paycheck; it is about joining a team that strives to serve and delight customers while enjoying a fun and dynamic work environment. KFC prides itself on feeding the world and fulfilling lives through its meals and the joyful experiences its team members create.

This role is for the position of Assistant Restaurant Manager, a key leadership position at the restaurant. As the Assistant Restaurant Manager, you will be the second in command at a $1 million-plus business, collaborating closely with the Restaurant General Manager to grow the business and ensure customers have an outstanding experience. This position offers a chance to be the manager of your own business within the KFC family, guiding the restaurant team, driving operations, and making every day rewarding both personally and professionally.

The Assistant Restaurant Manager role offers comprehensive training to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed for success. However, it also requires certain intrinsic qualities: a natural ability to lead and inspire a winning team, a passion for excellent customer service with a genuine smile, and a commitment to maintaining high standards. The role demands energy, motivation, honesty, and a fun attitude, as well as a love for the fast-paced and exciting restaurant environment where every day brings new challenges. The role is not for the faint of heart but perfect for someone who enjoys being part of a vibrant culture and contributing to a positive workplace.

Working at KFC also means being part of a great culture that values its people, encouraging them to grow and succeed. If you love the idea of making a positive impact for both customers and teammates while managing a thriving business, this role offers a fantastic opportunity. KFC values team members who are dependable, at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver's license and reliable transportation since occasional driving duties such as making deposits are part of the job. This position is ideal for individuals seeking career growth in a supportive and rewarding environment where life truly tastes better with KFC.
