Job Description

KFC, known globally for its iconic fried chicken, is a leading fast-food restaurant chain that has been serving customers with a commitment to quality, taste, and hospitality. At its core, KFC is more than just a restaurant; it is an establishment that brings smiles and satisfaction to millions daily by offering delicious meals with southern hospitality. Operating in Houston, TX, at the Gulfgate Center Mall, KFC maintains its legacy of providing excellent customer service and a fun, engaging work environment.

The Restaurant General Manager role at KFC is a critical leadership position responsible for overseeing all aspects of a $1 million-plus business operation. This role goes beyond the traditional managerial duties — it involves helping build a motivated, successful team while ensuring customers receive the highest quality food and service. As General Manager, you will lead by example, fostering a positive workplace culture that encourages teamwork, high standards, and continuous growth. The position offers full-time employment with a competitive salary ranging from $38,000 to $55,000 annually and provides a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement benefits, paid time off, and employee discounts.

Successful candidates are natural leaders who thrive in dynamic environments. KFC places a high value on managers who are not only passionate about superior customer service but also dedicated to mentoring and developing team members. The role requires an energetic, honest individual who enjoys cultivating a welcoming team atmosphere and is committed to upholding the brand's reputation. Training is provided to ensure all managers have the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage the restaurant's operations, financial performance, and guest experience.

Applicants should be prepared to embrace the challenges and rewards of the fast-paced restaurant industry, demonstrating a genuine desire to grow and succeed within KFC's supportive culture. A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are required, as managers may occasionally need to perform tasks such as making bank deposits. Although experience in the restaurant industry is preferred, KFC offers the training necessary to help managers transition smoothly into this pivotal role.

KFC is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds and ensuring fair hiring practices. As a part of the KFC family, General Managers contribute directly to the brand’s mission of feeding the world with great food while creating memorable customer experiences and fostering a workplace culture where everyone is valued and empowered.
