Assistant Restaurant General Manager

Assistant Restaurant General Manager

Welcome to KFC, home of the real ones! We’ve been serving the world’s best chicken since 1939, when our Colonel had a brilliant idea for finger-lickin’ good chicken. Today, we proudly serve over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky.

We’re all about being original, individual, and fresh. Here, you can be yourself and make something of yourself. We bring the graft and the laughs every day, building our own community while serving our original recipe chicken.

In our place, 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: that you be you. Because that makes us, us.

About the Role

As an Assistant Restaurant General Manager, you’ll support the team, take charge of day-to-day operations, and help us hit those performance goals. Your mission? Ensure your team doesn’t just meet expectations but crushes them! You’ll own the operations, atmosphere, and guest experience, creating a place where both guests and the team feel right at home.

What Will You Spend Your Time Doing?

• Support Like a Leader: Assist in taking ownership of the restaurant — 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 exceed them.
• Hit Those Targets: Own your KPIs, support the team, and ensure every shift delivers what’s expected.
• Keep Everything Running Smooth: Stay on top of the admin — from rosters to stock, ensuring solid behind-the-scenes work.
• Make Every Guest Feel Special: Turn first-timers into regulars with memorable moments that keep them coming back.

What We’d Love From You:

• You Lead by Example: You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring out the best in others.
• You Understand People: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and ensure everyone feels valued.
• You Keep Things Running: You ensure smooth operations — efficient, clean, and compliant, even when things get hectic.

Everyone’s welcome here, regardless of background or future aspirations. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not just because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential and give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.

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 will have an equal opportunity to work here. We don’t just welcome diversity; we encourage applications from underrepresented groups in all industries.
