Important Note

Most Chick-fil-A® restaurants are independently owned and operated. Each Owner/Operator makes their own employment decisions and establishes their own employment policies, compensation, benefits, and job requirements.

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.
