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 make something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day, 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 only ask one thing: be you. 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 your team.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead with Passion: Take full ownership of the restaurant—drive performance, hit goals, and set the vibe.
• Build an Inspiring Team: Train, coach, and motivate your people to not just meet the standard but raise it.
• Smash Targets: Own your KPIs and push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep Operations Smooth: Stay on top of admin tasks—rosters, stock, reporting—so everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes.
• Create Unforgettable Experiences: Turn first-timers into regulars by crafting moments that resonate.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Leadership: You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring out the best in people.
• People Skills: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and foster a culture where everyone feels valued.
• Operational Excellence: You know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant—even in chaos.

We welcome everyone—whatever your background or future aspirations. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not just an employee. We invest in your potential because it’s what we’ve always done, and we give you the freedom to be yourself.
