Restaurant General Manager
Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!
Welcome to KFC, where we serve the world’s best chicken! Since 1939, our Colonel's vision of finger lickin’ good chicken has brought joy to over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland. We pride ourselves on our grit, our iconic reputation, and our commitment to being original and individual.
At KFC, we come to work to be ourselves and to build something meaningful. We bring the graft and the laughs every day, creating a community as we serve our beloved original recipe chicken.

About the Role
As our 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 — to ensure smooth operations behind the scenes.
- Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Turn first-timers into regulars by creating memorable moments.
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.
- You Get People: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and foster a culture where everyone feels valued.
- You Run a Tight Ship: You keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even in chaos.
