Assistant Restaurant General Manager

Assistant Restaurant General Manager
Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.

At KFC, we serve the world’s best chicken, a tradition that started back in 1939 when our Colonel had a brilliant idea for finger lickin’ good chicken. Today, we proudly serve over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that began in Kentucky.

We’re all about being original, individual, and fresh. Here, you can be yourself and make something of yourself. 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.

About the Role

As an Assistant Restaurant General Manager, you’ll support the team, take charge of day-to-day operations, and help us hit those performance goals. Your mission? Ensure your team doesn’t just meet expectations but crushes them! You’ll own the operations, atmosphere, and 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: Assist in turning 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 support building strong teams, handle tough conversations, and ensure everyone feels valued.
• You Keep Things Running: You help ensure smooth operations — efficient, clean, compliant — even when things get hectic.

Keeping It Real

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:

• Pay rate: £32,000 - £35,000
• Quarterly BONUS that rewards your hustle
• Extra holiday – more time to recharge

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 be — we’d still love to hear from you.
