Back of House Team Lead

Director of Operations

Chick-fil-A may be best known for serving a mean chicken sandwich, hot waffle fries and that oh-so-delicious Chick-fil-A Sauce, but our restaurants are also known for another secret sauce: our friendly team members. Maybe they're happy because of easy access to chicken nuggets, or maybe it's because they simply love serving customers. We are audacious enough to believe that a restaurant filled with exceptional, passionate team members committed to serving others can make our community a better place to live. If you like the sound of that, we'd love to meet you.

A Director of Operations is one who consistently demonstrates our core values, embraces the Chick-fil-A culture and has a servant's heart. They have a passion for people and serving others, have strong character, take initiative and work with a sense of urgency at all times.

The Director of Operations is responsible for ensuring that restaurant staff are rightly positioned to serve guests efficiently, safely, and thoughtfully. Whether FOH or BOH, the Director of Operations participates in operations and ensures that problems are identified & solved for the benefit of guests and staff alike. They are in charge of operational set-up and the flow of people and food while on-shift. They oversee operations ensuring that they not only flow but excel. Furthermore, they are called to lead strategically, to track performance, to anticipate needs, to solve operational challenges, to transition to colleagues well, and to collaborate with other directors to ensure that the business achieves our purpose and vision.
