Restaurant General Manager
Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.
We sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve been doing it since 1939, when the idea of finger lickin’ good chicken first came to our Colonel’s mind. Today, we proudly serve over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing grit, pride, and our iconic reputation from Kentucky to your neighborhood.
We value originality, individuality, and freshness. Our team members come to work to be themselves and to make something of themselves. We bring energy and humor every day, building our community as we serve our original recipe chicken to our guests.
Joining our team means your ambitions can grow, your career can build, and your potential can go further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.
If you join us, we only ask that you be yourself, because that’s what makes us, us.
