At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference, and have fun. Join us, and together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

Bringing it to the role:

Our cooks hand-bread and prepare our chicken just like the Colonel did it - to our world-famous, finger lickin’ good standard.

But you don’t need years of experience. We’re just looking for real people who are up for getting stuck in, delivering a great experience for our customers, and being part of our awesome team. Don’t worry about the rest, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.

As a Cook, you will:

• Manage food prep and cleaning, ensuring speed, accuracy, and top communication.
• Prepare food, including hand-breading our chicken with care to maintain high standards.
• Maintain food safety standards and cleanliness to ensure customer satisfaction and repeat visits.

Be Original.

It’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s how you do it. Unapologetically you, undeniably original. You’ll work with colleagues who bring energy, spirit, and sizzle to the restaurant floor, making every shift high-flying and high-frying.

We take your ambition seriously; you’ll be treated with respect and supported in everything you do as you roll up your sleeves and bring finger lickin’ good chicken to our customers. And whatever your journey looks like, we’ll help you get there. From flexible schedules to cross-training and the chance to earn qualifications, we’ve got you covered.

There are all kinds of opportunities at KFC.

Who we are.

Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC. Since 1952, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world. But without our people, The Originals, none of it would be possible. Everyone at KFC is different. Unique. It’s what makes us special. We’ll always be original. And we welcome you to join us; to bring your energy, grit, spirit, and story.

UNITED BY THE BUCKET

At KFC, we’re all about flavor. That perfect blend of herbs and spices that makes everything so finger lickin’ good. But our blend-over-bland approach doesn’t just apply to our chicken. We value, support, and celebrate all the things that make our KFCers authentic and original. Because whatever your flavor – your ability, age, background, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation - we’re all united by the bucket.
