Business Management Program | Chick-fil-A Murfreesboro

Learn to lead yourself, your team, and a business.

Want a role where leadership isn't just a title but something you're trained, coached, and trusted to do? Our Business Management Program is an immersive 18 to 36 month leadership development experience for driven people who want real ownership, real responsibility, and a clear path to growth.

It's built for people who want to become a Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator, run their own business someday, or just grow intentionally in their leadership skills. You'll rotate through every area of the restaurant, discover your strengths, and work one-on-one with a personal coach and a tenured Director. By the end, you'll be ready for senior leadership at Chick-fil-A or to carry your skills into your own venture.

Starting pay: $19/hour, with growth up to $23/hour at the Director level.

Your Path: Clear Milestones, Real Promotions

You'll always know what's next. The program is built around defined milestones with timelines:

  • Within 60 days: Complete your initial team member training and step into the Certified Trainer role.
  • Within 120 days: Complete at least 3 training sessions with team members, demonstrate leadership in shadow shifts, and earn promotion to Shift Leader.
  • Beyond: Keep growing toward Director and the senior leadership skills that prepare you to own a business.

Every milestone includes a performance evaluation, feedback from current trainers and Shift Leaders, and approval from our Training Director and Managing Partner.

What You'll Do

  • Lead yourself first: build a personal vision, manage your time and priorities, and execute with focus
  • Lead front-of-house and back-of-house operations
  • Train, coach, and develop your team
  • Track key business metrics and act on opportunities
  • Set business goals and build the systems to reach them
  • Monitor progress and lead change when it's needed
  • Complete hands-on training with dedicated time in every area of the business
  • Meet weekly one-on-one with your mentors and trainers
  • Meet monthly with fellow program participants and the Operator
  • Travel to support grand openings at other Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country
  • Create a place of restoration for guests and team members

Who You Are

  • A self-motivated leader with a track record of leadership, strong academics, or both
  • Someone who holds themselves to a high standard: honest, dependable, diligent, and accountable
  • A servant-hearted team player who makes the people around you better
  • A clear communicator, in writing and in person
  • A sound decision-maker who can juggle priorities, adapt quickly, and solve problems
  • Ready to be coached, take feedback, and keep improving
  • 18 or older, with the willingness to commit to a 2 to 3 year development program
  • No restaurant experience required. We'll train you. What matters most is character, drive, and a passion for serving people

  • 45+ hours per week
  • At least 3 of 4 Saturdays each month
  • Open availability, including evenings
