About us

The Popeyes story started 49 years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana. A taste sensation was born. What started as one small restaurant with a dream of creating the world’s best fried chicken is now a craze that has swept across the world, serving in over 3,700 restaurants across the world.

We've landed in the UK and we're looking for General Managers who want to be part of making Popeyes the most loved chicken brand in the UK - is that you?

  • We’ve learnt a lot over the last 49 years – quality food, great guest experiences and the right people are the key to a successful business
  • Running a successful restaurant takes hard work, there’s many things to get right. You know that having an engaged, trained and stable team makes it a whole lot easier
  • We’ve got big plans and so do you. You’ll build your plan, share it with your team and make sure everyone understands the part they play
  • Finding, keeping and developing the right people is essential to our growth (and your success) you’re naturally good at it
  • Celebrating success is infectious – you make a point of doing it when you see it. You’ll take the same approach when things aren’t quite right too
  • Take responsibility and accountability for the results you and your team deliver
  • We're all about creating the best experiences for our guests – you’ll genuinely care about the work you do and the part you play

You’ll love being a General Manager at Popeyes if you:

  • believe your leadership style has a positive impact on the people you work with
  • think developing people is one the most rewarding part of your role - delivering great results comes a close second though!
  • know that building a stable team takes time, patience and empathy
  • are as excited about your future as we are
  • share our excitement about making Popeyes the UK’s most loved chicken brand

What you'll get as a General Manager:

  • £35 000 - £42 000
  • Achievable bonus plan
  • You can’t put a price on your development – but with us it’ll be quick!
  • A referral bonus that rewards you for helping us grow
