Chick-fil-A Cordata Parkway FSU

Operated by Operate With Pride, LLC

Who We Are

At Chick-fil-A Cordata Parkway, our vision is:

“To cultivate our community by operating our restaurant with P.R.I.D.E. and pursuing a mindset of social, economic, and environmental sustainability.”

We are a new and developing business that is actively growing, refining systems, and solidifying long-term infrastructure. This is not a fully settled operation — we are building, strengthening, and scaling in real time.

Our culture:

Operate with P.R.I.D.E.

Think proactively.

Show resiliency.

Act with integrity.

Engage deliberately.

Expect excellence.

The Opportunity

We are hiring Director-level leaders.

This is not a narrow role with a rigid job description. It is an elevated leadership opportunity for individuals who want ownership, influence, and growth inside a high-performance organization.

Director lanes may include:

• Back of House (Quality & Food Safety)
• Front of House (Hospitality & Guest Experience)
• Training & Development
• Marketing & Brand Growth
• Catering & Sales Expansion

Final placement will align with your strengths, leadership capacity, and business needs.

We are building leaders who want to shape systems — not just manage them.

Compensation & Benefits

• $24.00 – $35.00 per hour
• Overtime eligibility (up to 10 hours weekly based on business need)
• Quarterly profitability-based bonus opportunity
• Paid sick leave
• Hourly accrued vacation time
• $800+ monthly employer contribution toward medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Leadership development investment

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking leaders who:

• Learn quickly and adapt even faster
• Are comfortable operating with autonomy
• Can help define and develop a role that is still evolving
• Think strategically and execute tactically
• Develop other leaders intentionally
• Protect profitability and operational excellence
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Take ownership instead of waiting for direction

This is a high-sales, high-demand operation. The environment is fast, dynamic, and at times challenging. Strong composure, resilience, and energy are required.

Operational Expectations

This is not an administrative office role.

This is a heavily operational leadership position designed to influence systems and people from the floor.

• Approximately 30+ hours per week will be operational presence
• Approximately 10 hours per week will be administrative responsibilities
• Directors are expected to lead from the floor to see, coach, and improve systems in real time

Minimum Requirements

• Full-time availability (40+ hours per week)
• Weekend availability required (including Fridays and Saturdays)
• Flexibility to influence all dayparts (early morning, afternoon, and evening shifts)
• Ability to stand for prolonged periods
• Ability to walk, bend, kneel, squat, and lift heavy objects as needed
• Ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously
• 2+ years of applicable operational experience
• 1+ year of leadership experience
• Must be 18 years or older

What Director-Level Leadership Looks Like Here

• Ownership of a department or strategic lane
• Financial accountability
• Leadership bench development
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Influence over systems, structure, and growth
• Contribution to long-term business sustainability

The Right Fit

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Wants long-term leadership growth
• Thrives in a developing and growing business
• Is energized by challenge and change
• Is comfortable making decisions without constant oversight
• Understands that influence requires presence

Why Join Chick-fil-A Cordata Parkway?

• We are building something — not maintaining something.
• Leadership lanes are expanding.
• Ownership opportunities grow with the business.
• We value sustainability, profitability, and people equally.
• Executive pathways are real and performance-based.

If you are ready to grow with a business that is new, developing, scaling, and committed to excellence — we would love to connect.
