Restaurant General Manager
Welcome to KFC, home of the real ones.
We sell the world's best chicken, a legacy that started in 1939 when our Colonel first had the idea of finger lickin' good chicken. Today, we proudly serve over 1000 communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride, and iconic reputation that made us who we are.
People who are original, individual, and fresh come to work with us every day. We bring our unique perspectives, ambitions, and graft to build something new and make our mark. Our community is built on serving our original recipe chicken to those who appreciate it.
In this place, careers grow, potential expands, and opportunities abound. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere you want to go.
We only ask one thing: be yourself.
Because being you makes us, us.
Sounds good? Great. Here's more about the job.
About the Role
Take ownership of the restaurant, lead from the front, and drive performance goals while building a team that exceeds standards. Own the numbers, the vibe, and the experience, keeping everything running smoothly while creating a space where guests and the team thrive.
-----------------------------------
What Will You Spend Your Time Doing?
* Lead Like You Mean It. Take full ownership of the restaurant, drive performance, hit goals, and set the vibe.
* Build a Team Worth Following. Train, coach, and motivate your people so they don't just meet the standard - they raise it.
* Smash the Targets. Own your KPIs and push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
* Keep It Tight. Stay on top of the admin - rosters, stock, reporting - so everything runs smooth behind the scenes.
* Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable. Turn first-timers into regulars by creating moments that hit different.
What We'd Love From You:
* You Lead from the Front. You've managed teams before and know how to bring the best out of people.
* You Get People. You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and create a culture where everyone feels seen.
* You Run a Tight Ship. You know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant - even when it's chaos.
Keeping It Real

At KFC, everyone's welcome - whatever your background, and whatever future you're creating. We'll look out for you because you're one of us, not because you work for us. We'll invest in your potential, because it's what we've always done. But most of all, we'll give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.
What's In It For You:
* Pay rate: €42,000 - €45,000 per annum
* Quarterly BONUS that rewards the hustle
* Extra holiday - more time to recharge
* Life assurance - we've got you covered
* Free chicken & chips every shift
* 25% staff discount

Our promise is this: every person who applies to a role at KFC, regardless of age, background, ethnicity, gender, ability, religion, or sexual orientation, will have an equal opportunity to work here. We don't just welcome, we encourage applications from underrepresented groups in all industries.
