Assistant Restaurant General Manager

Join Our Team as an 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 the brilliant idea of 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 all those years ago.

We’re looking for individuals who are original, individual, and fresh. At KFC, 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 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: be you. Because that makes us, us.

Sounds good? Great! Here’s more about the role.

About the Role

As an Assistant Restaurant General Manager, you will:

Support the team, take charge of day-to-day operations, and help hit performance goals while ensuring your team doesn’t just meet expectations, but crushes them. Own the operations, the atmosphere, and the 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 the behind-the-scenes work is solid.
• 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, compliant — even when things get hectic.

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 share your perspective.

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 just because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential because it’s what we’ve always done. Most importantly, 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 a little easier because we know the juggle is real:

• Quarterly BONUS that rewards your hustle
• Extra holiday – more time to recharge
• Life assurance – we’ve got you covered
• Free chicken & chips every shift
• 25% staff discount
• Gym discounts to keep you moving
• 200+ high street perks & cashback
• Wellbeing support that actually helps

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.
