District Manager
- Full-time
Founded in 1972, Popeyes® has built more than four decades of culinary tradition around the bold flavors of Louisiana. Started by entrepreneur and culinary innovator Al Copeland, the brand introduced New Orleans–style fried chicken with a big idea and a lasting obsession with great taste. Today, Popeyes continues to draw from rich Cajun and Creole heritage to create craveable, authentic menu favorites like spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp, and other regional specialties. As one of the world’s largest chicken quick-service restaurant brands, Popeyes serves guests through a growing network of more than 3,300 restaurants across North America and beyond. For a District Manager, that scale means real impact: leading multiple locations, coaching teams to deliver great service and consistent operations, and helping restaurants grow while staying true to the Popeyes standards guests expect. All hiring decisions for Popeyes® restaurants are made by independently owned and operated franchisees.
