Kitchen Operations Manager

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

• 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.

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.
