Chick Fil A Jobs in Decatur, TX (NOW HIRING)

The Leader position at Chick-fil-A Avondale Haslet is designed to give individuals the opportunity to build off of previously learned leadership skills and fine-tune them. Alternatively,  It also supports someone coming in with little to no restaurant experience as our training process is designed to support both candidate types. 

We will start you out being trained in every area of the restaurant until you are proficient (basic team member skills). This means all team member positions in the restaurant. 

Participants are then required to work at least 60-days to prove themselves in our restaurant fundamentals before we formally move forward with their leadership training. During this time you will have a self paced study packet to complete that will help you pass our leadership development test.

If you complete team member training and pass our written & verbal development tests, you will then begin a development process in key Chick-fil-A business concepts. This process will prepare you for the leadership position. Typically this development takes about 6-months. During this development time you will function as a shift leader (leading shifts and coaching/mentoring team members operationally) as you hone the skills listed below:

Once you have been graded as proficient in the skills listed above, you will be placed in our “assessment” phase as you continue to lead shifts as a shift leader. This phase lasts 6-months. During this time you will be asked to set goals & lead/drive results in their areas of focus (this focus area will be assigned). 

• Usually during this time you will be placed in a Front of House, Drive-Thru, or Kitchen operational role with a specialty focus (from the list above). You will be asked to set goals & lead/drive results in your areas of focus. We are looking for mentorship and the ability to inspire your fellow teammates.
