Kitchen Leader

Lead in a Fast-Paced, High-Performance Kitchen

We’re looking for driven leaders who thrive in high-energy environments, love developing people, and take pride in operational excellence.

Here at Chick-fil-A Maumee, we’ve built a strong foundation and a team culture centered around care, excellence, and growth. Now, we’re looking for leaders who want to help take our kitchen and team to the next level.

If you are a servant leader who can stay composed under pressure and enjoys the challenge of running a high-volume kitchen with excellence, we want to meet you.

This is more than a restaurant job — it’s an opportunity to develop future leaders, strengthen team culture, and make a real impact every day.

What You’ll Do

As a Kitchen Leader, you will play a critical role in setting the tone for our operation and helping our team execute at a high level every day.

You will:

• Lead shifts in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen environment
• Set the standard for food quality, cleanliness, speed, and teamwork
• Coach, train, and develop team members into stronger leaders
• Lead by example in execution, attitude, and work ethic
• Help create a positive, accountable, and team-focused culture

• Know how to motivate and develop others
• Take ownership and lead with accountability
• Are resilient, adaptable, and solution-oriented
• Have a passion for hospitality and operational excellence
• Want growth opportunities and leadership development

Restaurant leadership experience is preferred, but we care just as much about mindset, work ethic, and the ability to lead people well.

Prior Chick-fil-A experience is a plus, but not required.

Requirements

• Must be available to work closing shifts at least four nights per week
• Must be willing to begin as a team member while completing leadership training
• Ability to multitask and lead effectively under pressure

• A supportive culture that values people first
• Direct mentorship from experienced restaurant leadership

If you’re looking for a place where hard work matters, leadership is developed intentionally, and strong teams are built through trust and accountability, apply today and grow with us.

Most Chick-fil-A® Restaurants are operated by independent franchised business owners

who make all their own employment decisions and are responsible for their own

content and policies.

Working at a Chick-fil-A® restaurant is more than a job – it’s an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.
