You’ll gain real-world leadership skills that translate far beyond the restaurant.

• How to lead and motivate teams in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
• How a multi-million dollar business operates day-to-day
• How to coach performance, give feedback, and navigate conflict
• How Owner/Operators think about leadership, stewardship, and community impact
• How to manage operations, systems, people, and performance metrics

You’re not just working shifts—you’re leading them.

• Your team is engaged, growing, and performing stronger because of your leadership
• Guests consistently receive exceptional experiences and return because of it
• You anticipate challenges and proactively solve problems
• You take full ownership of outcomes and drive solutions with confidence

This is where leadership becomes real.

• Make real-time decisions to protect and elevate the guest experience
• Develop team members through coaching, feedback, and accountability
• Support and execute operational systems that drive consistency and excellence
• Take ownership of key areas and grow in responsibility over time

You’re hungry to grow and ready to lead.

• You are graduating within the next 6 months or have graduated within the last 6–12 months
• You are looking for mentorship, challenge, and meaningful responsibility early in your career
• You take initiative and ownership without needing to be asked
• You are willing to work hard in a hands-on, team-oriented environment
• You bring energy, humility, and a strong desire to grow

This is just the beginning.

This role is intentionally designed as a leadership pipeline. Managers in Training who demonstrate strong performance, ownership, and leadership capability will have the opportunity to grow into higher-level leadership roles within Chick-fil-A North Valley.

• Full-time, on-site role (38–42 hours/week)
