  • Must be at least 18 years old.
  • Availability to close the restaurant at least two nights a week.
  • Physical ability to lift and move heavy objects, stand and walk for entire shifts, safely maneuver through compact spaces, and operate restaurant equipment.

What KBP brings to the table:

KBP Drive-In, part of KBP Brands, is a leading restaurant franchise group. Our vision is simple: be a great place to work, a great place to eat, and a great place to own. In just 20 years we've grown to more than 1,000 restaurants across 30+ states, and we're still growing.
