Job Description

This job posting is for a Restaurant General Manager position at a KFC restaurant located at 6708 W. Deer Valley Road, Glendale, AZ. The restaurant is independently owned and operated by a franchisee, meaning the franchisee is responsible for all hiring decisions and employment-related matters. KFC is a globally recognized restaurant brand known for its signature southern-style fried chicken and commitment to serving great-tasting meals with a smile. As part of the KFC family, the focus is on more than just providing food - it’s about creating a positive experience for both customers and employees alike, fostering a culture of hospitality, teamwork, and growth.

KFC Channel’s mission revolves around not only feeding the world but also enriching lives by offering fulfilling employment opportunities and encouraging a fun and dynamic work environment. This Restaurant General Manager role offers a unique opportunity to manage a thriving business with annual revenues exceeding $1 million. The position requires leadership abilities to build and motivate a winning team, drive operational excellence, and contribute to business growth by delivering outstanding customer service and high-quality products consistently.

As the Restaurant General Manager, you are entrusted with overseeing all aspects of the restaurant's operations, from managing staff, training associates, and maintaining compliance with safety and sanitation standards, to driving sales and profitability. This role requires a hands-on leader dedicated to creating a work environment where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated. You will be responsible for maintaining the great KFC culture that values honesty, energy, motivation, and fun. The role demands setting high standards for performance, both personally and for your team, and being adaptable to the fast-paced and ever-changing nature of the restaurant industry.

The ideal candidate for this position is someone who thrives on challenges, loves the excitement of the restaurant business, and is passionate about making every customer’s day through exceptional service. The role also involves logistical responsibilities such as handling cash deposits, which requires reliable transportation. Training will be provided to help you succeed in this role, so prior experience is beneficial but not mandatory if you come with the right attitude and leadership qualities.

Overall, this is a great career opportunity for motivated individuals who want to grow within the restaurant industry by taking ownership of a successful business while working within a supportive and employee-focused culture. If you are looking for a rewarding management challenge that combines business acumen, team leadership, and customer service excellence, this position is a perfect fit.
