Kitchen Team Member - Chicken Breader (Morning Shift)

Chick-fil-A Kitchen Team Member

Working at a Chick-fil-A restaurant is more than a job it's an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.

Chick-fil-A Cypress Ranch is seeking a hard-working, dependable, and detail-oriented Kitchen Team Member with a primary focus on chicken breading.

Your primary area of responsibility will be the breading station, where you will help prepare our chicken according to Chick-fil-A standards for quality, food safety, and consistency. However, this is a Kitchen Team Member position, and Team Members are cross-trained and may work in other Back of House areas based on training, restaurant needs, and business volume.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced role that requires a strong work ethic, attention to detail, teamwork, and a commitment to doing things the right way every time.
