Shift Manager

Founded in 1972, Popeyes® brings more than 40 years of bold flavor and Louisiana-inspired tradition to every shift. The brand was built on the vision of entrepreneur and culinary innovator Al Copeland, who started with one small restaurant and a big idea: New Orleans–style fried chicken. Today, Popeyes® is known around the world for its distinctive Cajun and Creole flavor profiles and for making craveable, authentic food that guests return for again and again. You’ll find it in our spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp, biscuits, and other regional favorites designed to deliver that unmistakable Popeyes experience. As a Shift Manager, you’ll play a key role in keeping restaurants running smoothly while delivering great customer service. Popeyes® is one of the world’s largest chicken quick service restaurant brands, with more than 3,300 locations across North America and a growing presence worldwide. We’re a fast-paced, team-driven environment where leadership matters, standards are clear, and every shift is an opportunity to coach the team and serve the community. Please note: All hiring decisions at Popeyes® restaurants are made by independently owned and operated franchisees.
