THE OPPORTUNITY

Chick-fil-A Faudree Road is looking for a driven, trustworthy leader to serve as General Manager — the person the Operator counts on to be "completely in charge" of the restaurant. This is an executive-level role responsible for implementing our full business framework across our five Critical Success Factors.

We're not looking for someone to simply run things. We're looking for a General Manager who demonstrates our core values, has a servant's heart, takes initiative with a sense of urgency, and can be trusted with the keys, the cash, the schedule, and the culture of this business.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Leadership

- Rally the team around our Winning Hearts Strategy and business framework

- Communicate directly with the Operator; plan and lead team meetings and coachings

- Champion a culture of food safety through consistent execution

- Go above and beyond all local, state, and federal regulations

- Be the the person who keeps the standard the standard, every shift

Talent

- Build the leadership bench: recruit, coach, and develop Directors and Assistant Directors

- Own the weekly leadership schedule and amplify high-potential talent

Customer Experience

- Analyze Customer Experience reports and turn insight into action

- Create memorable dining experiences that exceed guest expectations

- Trust but verify — confirm Directors and Assistant Directors are completing every system and checklist, every day

Sales & Brand Growth

- Approve and execute monthly sales and marketing plans; help lead community outreach

- Optimize every sales channel and bring Chick-fil-A Inc.'s seasonal marketing plans to life

Financial Stewardship

- Help us budget, forecast, understand food cost, and manage labor productivity

- Partner with Human Resources to protect the business and its people

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 4+ years of leadership experience required (5+ years in restaurant/QSR management preferred), with a track record of career growth

- High integrity and discretion — this role requires a signed non-disclosure agreement and the trust to handle confidential business information responsibly

- A results-oriented, ownership mentality with the drive to identify gaps, build plans, and adjust based on outcomes

- A servant leader who builds, protects, and sustains a great culture — and can overcome adversity without losing that culture

- Bachelor's degree preferred; QSR or high-volume restaurant experience preferred

- Open availability: mornings, days, evenings, and Saturdays (closed Sundays), plus occasional travel for training

- Fluent English required; Spanish preferred

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Base salary: $75,000–$85,000/year, depending on experience, plus bonuses
