Chick’n Out is looking for a high‑energy, people‑first, operations‑obsessed Head Coach to lead our restaurant with excellence. This role is the heartbeat of the shop — driving culture, execution, guest experience, and team development every single day.


If you love building strong teams, solving problems before they happen, and running a tight, fun, high‑vibe restaurant, this is your spot.


ROLE SUMMARY


The Head Coach is responsible for full store leadership: people, performance, profitability, and guest experience. You’ll coach the team, protect the brand, maintain systems, and ensure Chick’n Out delivers elite food and service every day.


This role requires strong communication, accountability, and the ability to lead from the front — not the office.
