Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!

Welcome to KFC, home of the real ones! Since 1939, we’ve been serving 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 in Kentucky, and we continue to bring that grit, pride, and iconic reputation to life every day.

Here, ambition flourishes, careers thrive, and potential knows no bounds. If you’re ready to be part of something special, we want you to be you—because that’s what makes us, us!

About the Role

As our Restaurant General Manager, you’ll lead from the front, taking full ownership of the restaurant. Your mission? To 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 and creating a space where both guests and team members can thrive.

  • Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Create memorable moments that turn first-timers into loyal regulars.

What We’d Love From You:

  • You Lead from the Front: You have experience managing teams and know how to bring out the best in people.
