Leadership Development Program- For Aspiring Business Leaders

Here at Chick fil A West Towne, we want to be a stepping stone in your leadership development path. Our promise is to empower, challenge, and develop you as a person and a professional.

Are you a self-directed servant leader with a teachable heart, growth mindset and hunger to take ownership of responsibilities? Do you desire to own a business one day?

Chick-fil-A West Towne is seeking individuals to join their Leadership Development Program (LDP). This is a very intentional program in which individuals will rotate through critical areas of the restaurant learning all aspects of the business. During each rotation this individual will be receiving vision, coaching, business “scorecard” metrics, problem solving skills, how to develop others and raise up talent. We are seeking individuals who are self-starters, have a desire to grow, the ability to multi-task, and have excellent problem solving skills.

Individuals in the LDP will begin in the Front of House (FOH) as a team member and work his/her way up to a Coordinator role before rotating to other areas as a Coordinator. After mastering all the Coordinator level roles, this individual will have the tools to apply for Chick-fil-A’s corporate LDP, join the director team at Chick-fil-A West Towne, or launch out into their own business venture.

In the LDP, this individual will be a part of the leadership team, being led and developed by the Directors as well as the owner/operator. This will be a super fast-paced environment, standing 8-10 hours each day, and working 40+ hours each week. As part of the program, this individual will get to lead others, build relationships with customers and team members, and have the ability to capitalize on their gifts.

Not only will this leader be joining one of the fastest growing brands in the nation, but he/she will be coached by the owner/operator who is dedicated to seeing team members develop and flourish!
