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.

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.
