The Leadership Development Program at Chick-fil-A Greenfield is designed for highly ambitious leaders who desire to one day become Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators. Over a two-year intensive leadership journey, candidates will learn to run and lead every part of our business, gaining the skills and results required to be a competitive franchise candidate within Chick-fil-A, Inc.
This is not an entry-level role. Participants will be expected to operate at a Director-level quickly - leading teams while being developed as both a strong leader of people and a business operator capable of running a multi-million-dollar restaurant.
The expectation is high. The potential reward is even higher.
Participants will rotate through and eventually own outcomes in core areas of the business, including:
-
Lead teams to consistently deliver operational excellence
-
Manage labor stewardship, throughput, and daily production flow
-
Ensure food safety, speed of service, and quality standards
