Why This Role Matters

The Operations Lead helps establish the foundation and reputation of Chick-fil-A Moscow. By protecting food safety, leading high-performing Drive‑Thru operations, and elevating guest experience, this role ensures excellence is not occasional—but habitual from day one.

Most Chick-fil-A Restaurants are operated by independent franchised business owners who make all their own employment decisions and are responsible for their own content and policies.
