Overview
Assistant restaurant general manager
Welcome to KFC. We sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long time — since 1939. We proudly serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago. In our place, ambition grows. Careers build. Potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere. If you join our team, we only ask one thing: that you be you, because that makes us, us.
About the role
Support the team, take charge of the day-to-day, and help hit performance goals while ensuring your team doesn’t just meet expectations, but crushes them. Own the operations, the atmosphere, and the guest experience, helping everything run smoothly and creating a place where both guests and the team feel right at home.
Responsibilities
* Support like a leader. Assist in taking ownership of the restaurant — help drive performance, hit goals, and keep the vibe alive.
* Help build a dream team. Train, coach, and motivate your crew to not only meet standards but go beyond them.
* Hit those targets. Own your KPIs, support the team, and make sure every shift delivers what’s expected.
* Keep everything running smoothly. Stay on top of the admin — from rosters to stock, you help ensure the behind-the-scenes work is solid.
* Make every guest feel special. Assist in turning first-timers into regulars with moments that keep them coming back.
Qualifications / What we’d love from you
* You lead by example. You’ve helped manage teams before and know how to bring out the best in others.
* You understand people. You support building strong teams, handle tough conversations, and make sure everyone feels valued.
* You keep things running. You help ensure smooth operations — efficient, clean, compliant — even when things get hectic.
Keeping it real
We don’t hire staff — we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential, and give you the freedom to be you, wherever you happen to be.
