    Job Description

    Kitchen Manager

    Location: Chick-fil-A Saraland

    Type: Full-Time


    Lead the Kitchen. Develop People. Drive Excellence.

    At Chick-fil-A, we’re not just serving food—we’re creating experiences and developing leaders. We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who is passionate about leading teams, delivering operational excellence, and building a culture that people want to be part of.

    If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love developing others, and take ownership of results, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.


    What You’ll Do

    As a Kitchen Manager, you will own the heart of our operation—the kitchen.

    • Lead and develop the team by coaching, training, and holding high standards
    • Drive food quality and consistency with excellence in every order
    • Ensure food safety and cleanliness at the highest level
    • Manage kitchen systems and execution during high-volume shifts
    • Build a strong, positive culture that values teamwork and accountability
    • Develop future leaders by investing in and mentoring team members
    • Partner with leadership to improve systems, speed, and accuracy


    What We’re Looking For

    We’re looking for more than experience—we’re looking for leadership.

    • Proven ability to lead a team and influence others
    • Strong sense of ownership and accountability
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
    • Passion for developing people and building culture
    • High attention to detail and commitment to excellence
    • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

    Kitchen or restaurant leadership experience is a plus—but not required for the right leader.


    What You’ll Get

    • A clear path for growth and advancement
    • Leadership development and coaching
    • A values-driven culture focused on care, excellence, and teamwork
    • The opportunity to lead a high-performing team


    Why Chick-fil-A?

    Working at Chick-fil-A is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to grow as a leader, serve others, and be part of a team that feels like family. We believe in investing in our people and creating an environment where you can thrive both personally and professionally.
