Kitchen Manager

In our kitchens, we focus on fresh and simple ingredients. And we always have. Since the beginning, we've served chicken that is whole breast meat, with no added fillers or hormones, and we bread it by hand in our restaurants. Produce is delivered fresh to our kitchens several times a week. Salads are chopped and prepared fresh throughout the day. Whole lemons are freshly squeezed in our restaurants and combined with pure cane sugar and water (yep, that’s all) to make Chick-fil-A Lemonade®. It may not be the easy way, but it's the only way we know.

Chick-fil-A hires leadership professionals who want to acquire skills to build their career portfolio and grow within the company. We pride ourselves on having a fast-paced growth culture where leaders are continually developing and enhancing their skills and the skills of those around them.
