Kitchen Leader

Lead in a Fast-Paced, High-Performance Kitchen

We’re looking for driven leaders who thrive in high-energy environments, love developing people, and take pride in operational excellence.

Here at Chick-fil-A Maumee, we’ve built a strong foundation and a team culture centered around care, excellence, and growth. Now, we’re looking for leaders who want to help take our kitchen and team to the next level.

If you are a servant leader who can stay composed under pressure and enjoys the challenge of running a high-volume kitchen with excellence, we want to meet you.

This is more than a restaurant job — it’s an opportunity to develop future leaders, strengthen team culture, and make a real impact every day.

What You’ll Do

As a Kitchen Leader, you will play a critical role in setting the tone for our operation and helping our team execute at a high level every day.

You will:

• Lead shifts in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen environment
• Set the standard for food quality, cleanliness, speed, and teamwork
• Coach, train, and develop team members into stronger leaders
• Lead by example in execution, attitude, and work ethic

• Want growth opportunities and leadership development

Restaurant leadership experience is preferred, but we care just as much about mindset, work ethic, and the ability to lead people well.

Prior Chick-fil-A experience is a plus, but not required.

Most Chick-fil-A® Restaurants are operated by independent franchised business owners

who make all their own employment decisions and are responsible for their own

content and policies.

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.
