Team work
As a Shift Runner you will be providing direct support to the Restaurant General Manager. You’re an authentic brand ambassador who also happens to love our chicken and chips. Our Shift Runners have a wealth of experience coming from a variety of backgrounds, from supermarkets and pubs, to high street retailers and even banks. You’ll be empowered to partner with your RGM and management team to run your restaurant like you own it.
We like to think of our people as the 12th secret ingredient of our famous recipe. It’s our ‘other’ SECRET. As a restaurant Shift Runner you’ll help your team be their best selves through on the job training every day, particularly in helping them give great service to our guests, day in and day out
Details
Take one man with a big idea (and some serious style), add 11 herbs and spices, 1,009 rejections, buckets of grit, ambition and southern hospitality and you’ve got KFC. It’s simple, we’re a people business that sells chicken and chips (and some other pretty epic stuff too).
We do things the right way. It isn’t always easy, but it’s always better. We lead with our hearts, work hard and play hard and we welcome everyone into our big KFC family. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your shoe size is – everyone has a place at the Colonel’s table. All we ask is that you roll up your sleeves, get stuck in and treat our team like family and our guests as friends. It’s what the Colonel would do.
