Job description

Assistant restaurant general manager

About the role

Support the team, take charge of the day-to-day, and help hit those performance goals while ensuring your team doesn’t just meet expectations, but crushes them. Own the operations, the atmosphere, and the guest experience, helping everything run smoothly and creating a place where both guests and the team feel right at home.

What will you spend your time doing?

Support like a leader. Assist in taking ownership of the restaurant — help drive performance, hit goals, and keep the vibe alive.

Help build a dream team. Train, coach, and motivate your crew to not only meet standards but go beyond them.

Hit those targets. Own your KPIs, support the team, and make sure every shift delivers what’s expected.

Keep everything running smooth. Stay on top of the admin — from rosters to stock, you help ensure the behind-the-scenes work is solid.

Make every guest feel special. Assist in turning first-timers into regulars with moments that keep them coming back.

What we'd love from you

You lead by example. You’ve helped manage teams before and know how to bring out the best in others.

You understand people. You support building strong teams, handle tough convos, and make sure everyone feels valued.

You keep things running. You help ensure smooth operations — efficient, clean, compliant — even when things get hectic.

Keeping it real

We don’t hire staff — we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. Each of us has something special to add to the mix we call work, and we’ll always encourage you to add your perspective.

See, at KFC, everyone’s welcome — whatever your background, and whatever future you’re creating. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential, because it’s what we’ve always done. But most of all, we’ll give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.

What’s in it for you

We offer benefits that make your life that little bit easier, because we know the juggle is real.

Pay rate : £32,000 - £35,000
