Join Our Team as a Restaurant General Manager!

Welcome to KFC — the home of the real ones! Since 1939, we’ve been serving up 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 with a simple idea from our Colonel: finger lickin’ good chicken. Today, we continue to bring that grit, pride, and iconic reputation to life.

At KFC, we celebrate originality and individuality. We come to work as our true selves, ready to make a difference and have some fun along the way. Here, ambition flourishes, careers take flight, and potential knows no bounds. Our doors are open, and they can lead you anywhere!

If you’re ready to join our team, we have just one request: Be yourself. 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 while smashing performance goals and building a team that exceeds expectations. You’ll be the heartbeat of the restaurant, ensuring everything runs smoothly and creating an environment where both guests and team members thrive.

Your Responsibilities

  • Lead with Purpose: Take full ownership of the restaurant, driving performance and setting the vibe.
  • Build a Winning Team: Train, coach, and motivate your team to not just meet standards, but to raise them.
  • Smash Targets: Own your KPIs and inspire your team to deliver excellence every shift.
  • Keep Operations Smooth: Manage admin tasks like rosters, stock, and reporting to ensure seamless operations.
  • Create Unforgettable Experiences: Turn first-time guests into loyal regulars by crafting memorable moments.

What We’re Looking For

  • Leadership Skills: You’ve successfully managed teams and know how to bring out the best in people.
  • People Skills: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and foster a culture of inclusivity.
  • Operational Excellence: You keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant, even in the midst of chaos.

Why KFC?

At KFC, we don’t just hire staff — we hire people. We value your unique experiences and aspirations, and we’re committed to helping you build a real career. Here, everyone is welcome, regardless of background or future goals. We’ll invest in your potential and give you the freedom to be yourself.

What’s in It for You?

We offer a range of benefits designed to make your life easier:

  • Competitive Pay: £38,000 - £42,000
  • Quarterly Bonus: Rewarding your hard work and hustle.
  • Extra Holiday: More time to recharge and relax.
  • Life Assurance: We’ve got you covered.
  • Free Chicken & Chips: Enjoy delicious meals every shift.
  • 25% Staff Discount: Treat yourself and your loved ones.
  • Gym Discounts: Stay active and healthy.
  • 200+ High Street Perks & Cashback: Enjoy exclusive offers.
  • Wellbeing Support: We’re here to help you thrive.

Inclusivity at KFC
