Supportive Workplace

Chick-fil-A restaurant Operators are passionate about providing a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment for the more than 120,000 team members who work at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country in the communities we serve. Our restaurant Operators are independent business owners who offer various opportunities for their employees to grow and develop – including, but not limited to, leadership development opportunities, work-life balance options, and competitive wages and benefits in their markets (often starting above minimum wage).

Career Opportunities

Our Operators have created a wide variety of opportunities for their team members’ professional development and career growth. In many cases, this has included the potential for entry-level team members to advance into leadership roles within a given Operator’s restaurant business. In addition, many Chick-fil-A team members have achieved long-term career growth within the Chick-fil-A system by going on to become restaurant franchise Operators themselves – in fact, more than half of newly selected Operators over the past few years have had Chick-fil-A experience. For some team members, working in a Chick-fil-A restaurant has provided a great opportunity to begin developing or enhance employment skills and experience. Many have gone on to pursue professions outside of the Chick-fil-A system in a wide variety of careers, supported in part by the leadership skills and development opportunities they received working for a franchised Operator in a Chick-fil-A restaurant.

Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

Chick-fil-A has been awarding scholarships to help restaurant team members attend college since 1973. Over the last four decades, Chick-fil-A restaurant team members have been awarded more than $45 million in college scholarships to attend more than 3,000 schools nationwide. In 2018, Chick-fil-A enhanced its scholarship initiative and launched Remarkable Futures, which expanded our scholarship program and provides restaurant team members with three scholarship options, including the opportunity to receive $25,000 to attend the college, university, vocational or technical school of their choice.

Company Information

In our kitchens, we focus on fresh and simple ingredients. And we always have. Since the beginning, we've served chicken that is whole breast meat, with no added fillers or hormones, and we bread it by hand in our restaurants. Produce is delivered fresh to our kitchens several times a week. Salads are chopped and prepared fresh throughout the day. Whole lemons are freshly squeezed in our restaurants and combined with pure cane sugar and water (yep, that’s all) to make Chick-fil-A Lemonade®. It may not be the easy way, but it's the only way we know.

Chick-fil-A restaurant businesses are independently owned and operated by local franchised Operators, who employ the team members who work in their restaurants.

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.
