Restaurant\ngeneral manager
\nWelcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.

We\nsell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long old time — since 1939,\nwhen the idea of
\nfinger lickin’ good chicken popped into our Colonel’s head. Now, we proudly\nserve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and\niconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago.

\nPeople who are\noriginal. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and to make\nsomething of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day — building\nour own community, as we serve our original recipe chicken to the ones, we’re\nin.

In our place, ambition grows. Careers build.\nPotential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.

If you join our team, we only ask one thing.\nThat you be you.

Because that makes us, us.

Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the job.

About the role

Lead from the front, take full\nownership of the restaurant, and smash performance goals while building a team\nthat doesn't just meet standards but exceeds them. Own the numbers, the vibe,\nand the experience, keeping everything running smoothly while creating a space\nwhere both guests and the team thrive.

\n\n

What\nwill you spend your time doing?

• Lead like you mean it. You’ll take full ownership of the restaurant — drive performance, hit\ngoals, and set the vibe.
• Build a team worth following. Train, coach, and motivate your people so they don’t just meet the\nstandard — they raise it.
• Smash the targets. Own your KPIs and push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep it tight. Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — so everything\nruns smooth behind the scenes.
• Make the guest experience\nunforgettable. Turn first-timers into regulars by\ncreating moments that hit different.

What we'd love from you:

\n\n

• You lead from the front. You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring the best out of\npeople.
• You get people. You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and create a\nculture where everyone feels seen.
• You run a tight ship. You know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even\nwhen it’s chaos.
