Job Description

This job opportunity is with a restaurant that is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. This means that your application will be reviewed directly by the franchisee, who holds the responsibility for hiring decisions. Should you be hired, the franchisee becomes your employer and is solely accountable for all employment-related matters, including workplace policies, salary administration, and job training. This direct relationship offers a unique environment where you can experience hands-on management and leadership in a setting that values individual contributions and entrepreneurial spirit.

The restaurant in question operates under the renowned KFC brand, a global leader in the fast-food industry known for its distinctive fried chicken and southern hospitality. KFC is much more than a place to quickly grab a meal; it has a culture centered around feeding the world and fulfilling lives. Providing excellent meals that brighten people’s days is part of the mission, and employees are encouraged to bring warmth and friendliness to every customer interaction. This culture fosters a work environment where being independent, having fun, and making meaningful connections with team members and customers are paramount.

We are seeking an exceptional individual to fill the role of Restaurant General Manager. This pivotal position gives you control over a thriving business with the potential to generate over $1 million in annual revenue. As the General Manager, you hold the keys to driving the restaurant’s success by leading a dynamic team, delivering outstanding customer experiences, and managing day-to-day operational activities. Your leadership will impact not just the business’s financial performance, but also the culture and morale of your staff.

In this role, it’s your passion for service and motivation to create a welcoming environment that sets you apart. You’ll be expected to foster teamwork, set high standards, and inspire those around you to deliver their best from shift to shift. Your dedication will not only make a difference in the lives of your customers but will also be recognized and rewarded as the business grows under your stewardship. The job offers a challenging and exciting atmosphere, where no two days are the same and the fast-paced restaurant business keeps you engaged.

We value honesty, energy, and a positive attitude. Our perfect candidate is motivational, fun, and committed to helping create a workplace where everyone feels valued and driven to excel. You’ll receive comprehensive training that equips you with the skills necessary to succeed, so prior management experience is welcomed but not mandatory. We are looking for someone with a true desire to learn and grow within the hospitality industry.

Being at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation is necessary, as the role may require making restaurant deposits and other off-site responsibilities. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in a collaborative environment and seek a rewarding managerial career within a globally recognized brand. Join us and be part of a team that serves more than meals - we serve happiness and a memorable dining experience.
