Job description

Leadership Development Position

We are looking for a driven leader who wants more than "just running shifts." This role is designed for a self-starter who is hungry to grow, influence others, and help lead our restaurant to the next level.

At Chick-fil-A, we work to "have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A," and we are committed to creating a workplace where everyone is treated with honor, dignity, and respect. Our restaurant is fast-paced, team-focused, and intentionally develops leaders for long-term success inside and outside the business.

In this leadership development position, you will:

  • Lead daily operations, ensuring excellent food quality, speed of service, and a clean, safe environment
  • Set clear goals for each shift, communicate expectations, and hold the team accountable to Chick-fil-A standards
  • Coach and develop team members through on-shift feedback, intentional conversations, and modeling the behaviors you expect
  • Solve problems proactively, anticipate bottlenecks, and make decisions that support both people and results
  • Support senior leadership with projects that go beyond the shift (systems improvement, training, people development, or operations initiatives, depending on your strengths)
  • Protect and champion our culture by demonstrating genuine hospitality, servant leadership, and strong character in every situation

This position is ideal for someone who:

  • Wants to learn how the business works, not just how a shift runs.
  • Gets energy from setting goals, tracking results, and celebrating wins with the team.
  • Desires growing into higher levels of responsibility (training, people & talent, operations, or director-level leadership over time)
  • Sees themselves as a multiplierdeveloping others, not just managing tasks.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven leadership experience (in restaurants, retail, school, church, sports, or similar) with a track record of influence and follow-through.
  • Self-motivated, takes initiative without waiting to be told what to do
  • Goal-oriented, organized, and able to execute at a fast yet excellent pace.
  • Strong communicator who gives clear direction and helpful feedback while treating people with respect
  • Passion for serving guests and building a positive, caring team culture
  • Availability for a mix of opening, mid, and closing shifts, including Fridays and Saturdays

In this role you will:

  • Receive intentional leadership coaching, clear performance expectations, and regular feedback
  • Have opportunities to grow into higher levels of leadership based on performance, initiative, and alignment with our values
  • Build real-world skills in operations, people leadership, problem solving, and business acumen that can prepare you for future director roles, owning a business, or Chick-fil-A's Leadership Development opportunities
