Restaurant General Manager
Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!
Welcome to KFC — the home of the real ones! Since 1939, we’ve been serving up the world’s best chicken, and we’re proud to be a part of 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 bring that grit, pride, and iconic reputation to life.
At KFC, we celebrate originality and individuality. We come to work to be ourselves and to make something of ourselves. Every day, we bring the graft and the laughs, building a community as we serve our original recipe chicken. Here, ambition grows, careers build, and potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.
If you join our team, we ask just one thing: be you. Because that’s what makes us, us!
