We're not just hiring someone to run a kitchen. We're hiring someone to lead people.
At Chick-fil-A Collier Township, our kitchen is the heartbeat of everything we do. We serve a high volume of guests who expect fresh, accurate, fast food every single time — and that doesn't happen without someone in the kitchen who takes genuine ownership of the result.
We're looking for a BOH Kitchen Leader — someone who can step into a Manager or Assistant Director level role depending on your experience — who leads by example, develops the people around them, and holds the standard when no one's watching.
You'd be working directly for an independent Owner/Operator who came from a 31-year career in technology and runs this business with the same discipline, intentionality, and people-first mindset. That's not a tagline. It shows up in how we invest in this team.
What we pay and what we offer
-
Competitive hourly pay commensurate with experience — Manager and Assistant Director levels compensated differently; we'll be straightforward with you about the rate in our first conversation
-
Bonus potential tied to restaurant performance metrics.
-
Every Sunday off. Every one. Guaranteed. That's the Chick-fil-A difference — and at a leadership level, it matters even more.
-
A free meal every shift you work — no minimum hours, no exceptions.
Full leadership team benefits include:
-
Medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contribution
-
401(k) with employer match
-
Life insurance
-
Paid time off
All team members (including leadership) receive:
-
100% free college tuition through Point University — Associates, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees, fully online, available from day one
-
Scholarship opportunities
-
Intentional development — we invest in where you're going, not just what you're doing today
-
Lots of fun team events and celebrations throughout the year
What you'll own
This is a hands-on leadership role. You're not managing from an office — you're in the kitchen, setting the standard, and developing the people around you.
Kitchen Operations:
-
Own food quality, speed, and accuracy across all BOH stations during your shifts
-
Ensure all food is prepared, cooked, assembled, and presented to Chick-fil-A standards — consistently, every shift
-
Manage food safety protocols, temperature logs, and health code compliance without exception
-
Oversee inventory, ordering, and waste reduction — you understand that margin matters
-
Lead and execute opening and/or closing procedures thoroughly and completely
People Leadership:
-
Directly supervise, coach, and develop BOH team members and shift leaders
-
Build a kitchen culture where people are held accountable and want to show up
-
Identify and develop your next shift leader — we promote from within and expect our leaders to build the bench
-
Conduct or support team member training, onboarding, and performance conversations
-
Communicate clearly with FOH leadership to keep the full operation in sync
Operational Excellence:
-
Monitor and drive key metrics: speed of service, food cost, waste, and quality scores
-
Identify problems before they become patterns and bring solutions, not just observations
-
Support the Owner/Operator in driving continuous improvement across BOH systems and processes
What we're looking for:
Experience:
-
2+ years in a kitchen leadership role in a high-volume QSR, fast casual, or full-service environment
-
Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a team, not just manage tasks
-
Familiarity with food safety standards (ServSafe certification preferred or willingness to obtain)
-
Experience with inventory management, scheduling, or food cost controls is a plus
Character and approach:
-
You hold the standard even when it's inconvenient — for yourself and your team
-
You lead with a servant's heart: you make the people around you better
-
You communicate directly and honestly — up, down, and across the team
-
You're growth-oriented — you want to get better, and you help others do the same
-
You're reliable and present: when you're on the schedule, you're there and you're locked in
Availability:
-
Open availability across day parts — this role isn't limited to one shift
-
Must be 18 or older
-
Able to lift 50 lbs and stand for extended periods in a physically demanding kitchen environment
-
Every Sunday Off!!!
