Restaurant General Manager

Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!

Welcome to KFC, home of the real ones! We’re proud to serve the world’s best chicken, a legacy that began in 1939 when our Colonel had a finger-lickin’ good idea. Today, we’re a part of over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky.

At KFC, we celebrate originality and individuality. We come to work to be ourselves and to make something of ourselves. Every day, we bring the graft and the laughs, building our community while serving our original recipe chicken to those around us. 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 ask just one thing: be you. Because that’s what makes us, us!
