Restaurant Shift Lead

Full-time Shift Lead

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.

The heart of Chick-fil-A is to inspire people to take good care of each other. The kind of people who thrive on our team are those who have a heart to serve others. Our purpose in our work is to have a positive impact on everyone who comes into contact with our restaurants, and we do that through serving delicious chicken while providing a clean and safe environment, and excellent customer service. In addition to providing care for our Guests we take time to hear from and invest in our Team Members, recognizing that they are the core of our business.
