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 joy to over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland. Our journey began with a simple idea from our Colonel: finger lickin’ good chicken . Today, we continue to embody the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky.

At KFC, we celebrate originality and individuality. We come to work as our true selves, building a community while serving our original recipe chicken. Here, ambition flourishes, careers thrive, and potential knows no bounds. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere!

If you join our team, we ask just one thing: be yourself. Because that’s what 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 thriving space for both guests and team members.

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 to not just meet the standard — but raise it.
• Smash the Targets: Own your KPIs and inspire the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep It Tight: Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
• Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Turn first-timers into regulars by creating moments that resonate.

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.
