The Opportunity

Chick-fil-A Faudree Road is looking for a driven, trustworthy leader to serve as General Manager — the person the Operator counts on to be completely in charge of the restaurant. This is an executive-level role responsible for implementing our full business framework across our five Critical Success Factors.

We're not looking for someone to simply run things. We're looking for a General Manager who demonstrates our core values, has a servant's heart, takes initiative with a sense of urgency, and can be trusted with the keys, the cash, the schedule, and the culture of this business.

Customer Experience

- Partner with Human Resources to protect the business and its people

What We're Looking For

- High integrity and discretion — this role requires a signed non-disclosure agreement and the trust to handle confidential business information responsibly

- A results-oriented, ownership mentality with the drive to identify gaps, build plans, and adjust based on outcomes

- A servant leader who builds, protects, and sustains a great culture — and can overcome adversity without losing that culture

- Bachelor's degree preferred; QSR or high-volume restaurant experience preferred

- Open availability: mornings, days, evenings, and Saturdays (closed Sundays), plus occasional travel for training

- Fluent English required; Spanish preferred

Compensation & Benefits

- Base salary: $75,000–$85,000/year, depending on experience, plus bonuses

- Scholarship opportunities up to $25,000 through Chick-fil-A's Remarkable Futures Scholarship program
