Lead the Kitchen. Develop People. Drive Excellence.

At Chick-fil-A, we’re not just serving food—we’re creating experiences and developing leaders. We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who is passionate about leading teams, delivering operational excellence, and building a culture that people want to be part of.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love developing others, and take ownership of results, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

What You’ll Do

As a Kitchen Manager, you will own the heart of our operation—the kitchen.

• Lead and develop the team by coaching, training, and holding high standards
• Drive food quality and consistency with excellence in every order
• Ensure food safety and cleanliness at the highest level
• Manage kitchen systems and execution during high-volume shifts
• Build a strong, positive culture that values teamwork and accountability

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
• Passion for developing people and building culture
• High attention to detail and commitment to excellence

Kitchen or restaurant leadership experience is a plus—but not required for the right leader.

• Leadership development and coaching
• A values-driven culture focused on care, excellence, and teamwork
• The opportunity to lead a high-performing team
