This is not a desk-management position. Our manager must be visible, involved, and willing to work alongside the team while maintaining control of the shift.

Sunset Chicken is a locally owned, growing chicken restaurant specializing in freshly prepared chicken tenders and wings. We are looking for a manager who wants to help strengthen our team, improve operations, and grow with the company.

Please apply only if you have restaurant leadership experience and the open availability required for this position.

Sunset Chicken is a growing Florida quick-service restaurant concept serving hand-breaded chicken tenders, wings, signature sauces, Texas toast, crinkle-cut fries, fresh-brewed tea, and fresh-squeezed lemonade—all with a side of Tender Goodness.

Our original Marco Island location set the standard, and our first corporate-owned restaurant is now open in Cape Coral as we continue building the brand for future growth and franchising across Florida.

At Sunset Chicken, great food starts with great people. We value teamwork, dependable service, high standards, and a positive work environment where every role matters.

Join our team and help us bring Tender Goodness to Cape Coral and beyond!
