KFC General Manager

This job posting is for a Restaurant General Manager position at an independently owned and operated KFC franchise. The restaurant is operated by a franchisee who is solely responsible for all employment-related matters, including hiring decisions. In this role, you will be employed directly by the franchisee, providing a unique opportunity to lead and grow a high-performing team within a well-established fast-food brand known worldwide. KFC is a restaurant dedicated to serving delicious meals with southern hospitality, creating each customer experience with care. The brand’s mission goes beyond just feeding people; it is about fulfilling life through great food and memorable service. This creates an environment where jobs are more than just paychecks - they’re about independence, fun, and building lasting friendships.

As a Restaurant General Manager at KFC, you will have full accountability for operating a business that generates over $1 million in annual revenue. You will lead and develop your team, ensure outstanding customer service, maintain operational excellence, and drive business results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Your leadership will have a direct impact on team morale, customer satisfaction, and financial performance. The role offers extensive training, equipping you with everything you need to succeed, even if you do not have prior management experience. Acceptance into this role means becoming an integral part of a great culture and family that values honesty, energy, motivation, and a fun working atmosphere.

This position is ideal for natural leaders who thrive in a team-focused environment and enjoy the challenges that come with managing a busy restaurant. You will be hands-on, involved in everything from driving sales and controlling costs to hiring and coaching team members. Your passion for serving great-tasting chicken and creating a welcoming atmosphere will inspire others to deliver their best every day. You will be expected to set and uphold high standards for yourself and your team, always striving for excellence in both customer service and restaurant operations. The role requires a strong desire to learn and grow within the business, an appreciation for the excitement of restaurant work, and the ability to adapt to the fast-changing demands of the industry.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, as duties may include making bank deposits for the restaurant. Public transportation is not suitable as reliable personal transport is necessary. The KFC franchisee is searching for someone who is honest, energetic, motivational, and fun — the type of person who is ready to help create a great place to work and a memorable experience for customers. If you are ready to co-captain a successful restaurant and grow both your team and the business, this is an exceptional opportunity to join the KFC family and make a significant impact in your community.
