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, bringing the grit and pride of Kentucky to over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland. Here at KFC, we celebrate originality and individuality, creating a workplace where you can truly be yourself while making a difference.

When you join us, you’re not just taking a job; you’re stepping into a community where ambition flourishes, careers thrive, and potential knows no bounds. We invite you to be you, because that’s what makes us, us!

Excited? Let’s dive into the details!

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 while creating a space where both guests and team members can thrive.


Your Responsibilities

  • 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 to raise it.
  • Smash the Targets: Own your KPIs and inspire 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: Create moments that turn first-timers into regulars.

What We’re Looking For

  • 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 keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even in chaos.

Keeping It Real

At KFC, we don’t just hire staff; we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. We value the unique perspectives each individual brings to our team and encourage you to share yours.

We welcome everyone, regardless of background or future aspirations. We’re committed to supporting you because you’re one of us, not just an employee. We’ll invest in your potential and give you the freedom to be yourself.

What’s in It for You?

We offer benefits that make your life easier because we understand the juggle is real:

  • Quarterly BONUS that rewards your hustle
  • 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 your authentic self to work. We’re here to support you in being you, whether you’re already part of our team or looking to join us.

We promise that every applicant will have an equal opportunity to work here, regardless of age, background, ethnicity, gender, ability, religion, or sexual orientation. We actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups in all industries.

If you need additional support during the application process or have any requirements, just let us know. We’re here to help you be the real you.

Ready to Join Us?

If you’re excited to be part of our community, now’s the time to apply! Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box — we’d still love to hear from you.
