Thunderbird Fried Chicken is one man’s mission to make ‘Fried Chicken Great Again’

Since starting in street food in 2017, Thunderbird Fried Chicken has taken the capital by storm and developed a devoted following of Fried Chicken Fanatics. The brainchild of Matt Harris, a self-confessed ‘food nerd’ who during his earlier career in competitive motorsports discovered a passion for American soul food of the deep south. On his return to London, Matt launched the BBQ Lab, which evolved into the Thunderbird Fried Chicken, as we know and love today. Matt’s legendary ‘Chipuffalo Wing’ won the 2015 Wing Fest competition, for the best wings in London, and that’s where our story starts. We’re fiendishly passionate about making the best fried chicken, and our award-winning wings are loved by our raving fans.

We are a young vibrant fast-growing company, and we are looking for motivated, guest obsessed and passionate people who care about great food and great service to join our family. This is a great opportunity to join the Thunderbird Management team, so if this sounds like the kind of brand you would love to get involved in as our new assistant manager, read on!

• Leading and developing your team
• Delivering great guest service and food quality

What we are looking for in a fry-tastic Assistant Manager:

• Great communicators with a keen eye for detail
• Passionate about making our guests happy and motivated to produce awesome food

• A lead by example individual, who drives standards
• At Thunderbird, we’re not content with just being okay - that’s boring. We need people who areexcited to grow with us and can work just as well within a team as independently.

Desired experience:

• Customer service: 1 year (preferred)
• Fast-paced kitchen environment: 1 year (preferred)
• Worked as in a leadership role: 1 year (preferred)

We will help you out and provide you with all the training you could possibly need.
