General Manager In Training – Slim Chickens

Location: Arizona | Type: Full-Time | Shifts: Day / Evening (10 hour shifts) Restaurant Style: Fast, Fresh, Southern-Inspired Quick-Service

Slim Chickens Is Taking Over Arizona – And We Want YOU!

We’re not just opening restaurants—we’re building a brand. Slim Chickens is spreading across the U.S., and now we’re bringing our crispy, crave-worthy chicken and Southern hospitality to Arizona. Want to lead from the front? This is your shot to grow with a brand that’s all about real food, real people, and real opportunities.

Who We’re Looking For: This Role Isn’t Easy – And That’s Exactly The Point.

We want ambitious, resilient leaders who thrive under pressure and know that delivering excellence requires grit and heart. At AZ Slims, our mission is clear: serve high-quality chicken, create memorable guest experiences, and develop a team that’s motivated to push boundaries and grow together. As a family-owned business with deep-rooted values, we believe great leadership fuels success.

You’re a bold leader who puts guests and your team front and center, even when the heat is on. You excel in fast-moving environments, lead by example, and inspire your team to deliver their best — especially during the busiest, most challenging shifts.

Manage stressful, high-stakes situations calmly, keeping your team focused and motivated.

Drive Operational Excellence

Expertly manage labor, food costs, and inventory while balancing speed and quality goals.

Use data and keen observation to identify problems before they escalate and implement smart solutions quickly.

Ensure the restaurant operates smoothly and safely, even under pressure, setting the standard for excellence.

What You Bring:

2–4 years of proven leadership experience managing teams of 35+ people, with a track record of driving results in a fast-paced environment.

A relentless commitment to guest satisfaction and team development, even when the going gets tough.

Exceptional communication and problem-solving skills to lead confidently in any situation.
