At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference and have fun. Join us, and together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.
Bringing it to the role:
Our Cooks hand-bread and prepare our chicken just like the Colonel did it - to our world-famous, finger lickin’ good standard.
But you don’t need years of experience. We’re just looking for real people who are up for getting stuck in, delivering a great experience for our customers, and being part of our awesome team. Don’t worry about the rest, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
As a Cook, you will:
1. Run the engine that is back of house by managing food prep and cleaning, with top communication, speed and accuracy.
2. Produce that finger lickin’ chicken by preparing food, cleaning, communicating with your team, and maintaining food safety.
3. Maintain our high standards that make our guests come back again and again by hand breading our chicken with love and care.
Be Original.
It’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s the way you do it. Unapologetically you, undeniably original. You’ll work with colleagues who all bring their originality to the table, who bring energy, spirit and sizzle to the restaurant floor and make every shift high flyin’ and high fryin’.
We take your ambition seriously; you’ll be treated with respect and supported in everything you do as you roll up your sleeves and bring finger lickin’ good chicken to our customers. And whatever your journey looks like, we’ll help you get there. From flexible schedules to cross-training and the chance to earn qualifications, we got you.
There are all kinds of opportunities at KFC.

However, that original KFC experience, where you bring your true and best self, stays the same wherever you join us.

10. Life protection benefits.
11. Discounted fuel.
12. Discounted driving lessons.

Who we are.
Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC. Since 1952, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world. But without our people, The Originals, none of it would be possible. Everyone at KFC is different. Unique. It’s what makes us special. We’ll always be original. And we welcome you join us; to bring it. Your energy, grit, spirit, and story.
