Leadership Development Program

What You'll Do: Learn restaurant operations from the ground up. Progress through trainer, shift leader, and director-level leadership development. Lead teams and own measurable business results. Gain exposure to budgeting, human resources, marketing, payroll, hiring, and performance management. Complete quarterly stretch assignments alongside experienced business leaders. Receive monthly coaching from a certified leadership coach. Meet regularly with the Chick-fil-A Operator and senior leadership team. Build the leadership and business skills needed for future ownership and executive leadership opportunities.

What We're Looking For: Bachelor's degree required. Early-career professionals and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated leadership through work, athletics, student organizations, ministry, volunteer service, or community involvement. Entrepreneurial mindset and a strong desire to grow. Humble, hungry, and people-smart leadership style. Willingness to work in a fast-paced, highly operational restaurant environment. Strong communication, initiative, resilience, and relationship-building skills. Food service, hospitality, retail, or customer-facing experience is preferred but not required. Participants should expect to work approximately 40-45 hours per week during the initial stages of the program, with the majority of the first six months spent actively learning and leading inside the restaurant. This is not a traditional management training program. It is an opportunity to take ownership, lead people, produce results, and develop the skills required to operate a successful business. If you're ready to invest in your leadership and build a foundation for long-term career growth, we'd love to connect with you.
