Restaurant general
manager
Welcome to KFC. Home of the real
ones.
We
sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long old time —
since 1939, when the idea of
finger lickin’ good chicken
popped into our Colonel’s head. Now, 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.
People who are
original. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and
to make something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs
every day — building our own community, as we serve our original
recipe chicken to the ones, we’re in.
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.
Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the
job.
About the
role
Lead from the front, take full ownership of
the restaurant, and smash performance goals while building a team
that doesn't just meet standards but exceeds them. Own the numbers,
the vibe, and the experience, keeping everything running smoothly
while creating a space where both guests and the team
thrive.
What will you spend your
time doing?
Lead
like you mean it.
You’ll 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 smooth 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 the best out of
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.
Keeping it
real
We don’t hire staff — we hire people. People
with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. Each of us
has something special to add to the mix we call work, and we’ll
always encourage you to add your perspective.
See, at
KFC, everyone’s welcome — whatever your background, and whatever
future you’re creating. We’ll look out for you because you’re one
of us, not because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential,
because it’s what we’ve always done. But most of all, we’ll give
you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to
be.
What’s in it for
you:
We offer benefits that make
your life that little bit easier, because we know the juggle is
real.

KFC for
everyone:
Whoever you are and
wherever you’re from, KFC is a place where you can bring the
real
you to work. We’re here to support you in being
yourself, whether you work with us, or are
trying
to.
Our promise is this: every
person who applies
to a role at KFC, regardless of age,
background, ethnicity, gender, ability, religion or sexual
orientation, will have an equal opportunity
to work here.
We don’t just welcome, we encourage applications from
underrepresented groups in all industries.
If you’d
like any additional support with
your application, have a
disability or condition that may affect your performance during the
recruitment process, or have any other requirements — just let us
know. We’ll be
there to help you be the real
you.
Ready?
We
hope so. If you’re ready to be part of our community, now’s the
time to apply.
Worried you
aren’t ticking all the boxes? Don’t - we’d still love to hear from
you.
