Restaurant General Manager

Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!

Welcome to KFC, home of the real ones!

At KFC, we pride ourselves on serving the world’s best chicken. Since 1939, when our Colonel first dreamed up the idea of finger lickin’ good chicken, we’ve been bringing joy to over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland. Our journey started in Kentucky, and we continue to embody the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that began all those years ago.

We’re looking for individuals who are original, individual, and fresh. Here, you can be yourself and make something of yourself. We believe in hard work and laughter, building a community as we serve our original recipe chicken to those around us.

In our environment, ambition grows, careers flourish, and potential knows no bounds. Our doors are open, and they can lead you anywhere.

If you join our team, we ask just 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 overall 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 push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep It Tight: Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
• Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Turn first-timers into regulars by creating moments that resonate.

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 know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even in chaos.
