Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!
Welcome to KFC! Home of the real ones. Since 1939, we’ve been serving the world’s best chicken, bringing the grit, pride, and iconic reputation from Kentucky to over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland.
We’re looking for individuals who are original, individual, and fresh. Here, you can be yourself while building a community and serving our famous original recipe chicken. At KFC, ambition grows, careers build, and potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere!
If you join our team, we only ask one thing: be you. Because that makes us, us.
About the Role
As a Restaurant General Manager, you’ll lead from the front, taking full ownership of the restaurant. Your mission? Smash performance goals while building a team that doesn’t just meet standards but exceeds them. You’ll own the numbers, the vibe, and the experience, ensuring everything runs smoothly while creating a space where both guests and the team thrive.
What Will You Spend Your Time Doing?
* Lead Like You Mean It: Take full ownership of the restaurant — drive performance, hit goals, and set the vibe.
* Build a Team Worth Following: Train, coach, and motivate your people so they don’t just meet the standard — they raise it.
* Smash the Targets: Own your KPIs and push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
* Keep It Tight: Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — so everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
* Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Turn first-timers into regulars by creating moments that hit different.
What We’d Love From You:
* You Lead from the Front: You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring out the best in people.
* You Get People: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and create a culture where everyone feels seen.
* You Run a Tight Ship: You know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even when it’s chaos.
