Kitchen Director | Chick-fil-A Westdale

At Chick-fil-A Westdale, we believe that a great guest experience starts in the heart of the house. We are one of the fastest-growing Chick-fil-A locations in the country, and we need a culinary powerhouse to lead our kitchen operations.

As our Kitchen Director, your mission is simple but profound: to brighten the lives of others by delivering food that is served with care, speed, and uncompromising quality.

The Role: Master of the Craft

We are looking for a leader who isn't afraid to get in the trenches but has the vision to lead from 30,000 feet. You will be the guardian of our "Gold Standard," ensuring every meal is a gift to our guests.

Culinary Leadership: Oversee all back-of-house operations, ensuring food safety, cleanliness, and quality are never compromised.
Operational Velocity: In a high-growth environment, speed is essential. You'll optimize kitchen flow and systems to keep up with our record-breaking demand.
Team Empowerment: You don't just manage a kitchen; you grow people. You will be responsible for hiring, training, and inspiring a world-class culinary team.
Strategic Impact: Partner with the Owner/Operator and the Director of Operations to manage inventory, food costs, and labor productivity to fuel our continued growth.

Why You'll Love It Here

Elite Compensation: Competitive salary plus profit-sharing and performance bonuses that reflect our store's success.
Full Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k) matching.
Work-Life Harmony: Paid time off (PTO) and a leadership schedule that respects your time.
Professional Growth: We invest heavily in your development, providing the tools you need to reach the next level of your career.

What You Bring to the Table

The Foundation: You have prior kitchen or culinary management experience. You understand the heat, the pace, and the precision required in a professional kitchen.
The Spirit: You have a charismatic, servant-leader heart. You lead by example and find joy in brightening the lives of your team and your guests.
The Mindset: You are obsessed with the details—from the temperature of the oil to the smile on a team member's face.
The Drive: You thrive on growth and are excited by the challenge of leading one of the busiest kitchens in the nation.

Are You Ready to Lead the Heart of Westdale?

If you have a passion for food, a heart for people, and the drive to lead a high-growth business, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and help us continue our journey as one of the nation's fastest-growing Chick-fil-A teams.
