At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference and have fun. Join us, and together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

Our Restaurant General Managers (RGM) bring a wealth of experience from diverse sectors such as supermarkets, pubs, high street retailers, and banks. What unites them is their leadership that prioritises empowering their teams. As an RGM, you'll have the autonomy to operate your restaurant as if it were your own, focusing on enhancing performance in four crucial areas: People, Customers, Sales, and Profit. By fostering a culture of excellence, you'll cultivate and coach a highly efficient team that consistently provides a dependable and outstanding experience for customers, while also driving business expansion. And when times get tough, they roll up their sleeves and get stuck in, supporting their team where they can.

Your role will involve:

• Leading on day-to-day operations, including food preparation, inventory management, and ensuring a clean and welcoming environment for our customers.
• Honing essential managerial skills, such as scheduling, team coordination, and effective communication, to lead a motivated and efficient team.
• Providing exceptional customer service and ensuring customer satisfaction through prompt problem-solving and a friendly demeanour.
• Collaborating with colleagues and other managers to maintain high-quality standards and uphold our brand's reputation.
• Embracing a continuous learning mindset, taking feedback constructively, and applying it to improve your skills and performance.
