Director of Operations | Chick-fil-A Westdale

The Mission: Brighten Someone’s Day

At Chick-fil-A Westdale, our business is people. While we happen to serve great food, our true purpose is to brighten the lives of everyone who walks through our doors.

We are currently one of the fastest-growing Chick-fil-A locations in the country, and we are looking for a high-caliber Director of Operations to help lead that momentum. This isn't just about managing a restaurant; it’s about leading a movement of hospitality and excellence.

The Opportunity: No Restaurant Experience? No Problem.

We aren’t just looking for "food people"—we are looking for leaders. Whether your background is in the military, corporate management, logistics, or education, if you know how to build world-class teams and optimize complex systems, we want you. We provide the training; you provide the leadership.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Performance-Driven Pay: Competitive salary with Profit-Sharing and Bonus opportunities tied to our rapid growth.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and 401(k) matching.
  • Time to Recharge: Paid Time Off (PTO) and flexible scheduling.
  • Growth Culture: A "people-first" environment where your leadership development is our priority.

The Role: Impact & Strategy

As the Director of Operations, you are the "architect of the energy" in our building. You will:

  • Lead the Growth: Scalability is the name of the game. You'll oversee operations for a high-volume, fast-paced business that is consistently breaking records.
  • Cultivate Kindness: Ensure every guest and team member feels seen and valued. You are the chief culture-officer on the floor.
  • Operational Excellence: Drive speed, accuracy, and quality by optimizing systems and coaching your team in real-time.
  • Strategic Partnership: Work directly with the Owner/Operator to execute long-term business goals and community impact initiatives.

Who You Are

  • A Natural Leader: You have a "servant-leader" heart and a charismatic presence that commands a room.
  • A Systems Thinker: You enjoy the challenge of a fast-moving environment and love finding ways to make things run smoother.
  • A People Developer: You find your greatest success in watching those you mentor succeed.
  • Adaptable: You thrive in the "beautiful chaos" of a high-growth business.

Are You Ready to Lead the Fastest Growing Team in the Region?

If you’re ready to step into a role where you can truly brighten the lives of others while building a world-class business, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and let’s build something incredible together at Chick-fil-A Westdale.

Westdale

Working at a Chick-fil-A® restaurant is more than a job – it’s an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.
