Restaurant
general manager
Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.
We
sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long old time — since 1939,
when the idea of
finger lickin’ good chicken popped into our Colonel’s head. Now, we proudly
serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and
iconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago.
People who are
original. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and to make
something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day — building
our own community, as we serve our original recipe chicken to the ones, we’re
in.
In our place, ambition grows. Careers build.
Potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.
If you join our team, we only ask one thing.
That you be you.
Because that makes us, us.
Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the job.
