Slim Chickens Is Taking Over Arizona – And We Want YOU!

We’re not just opening restaurants—we’re building a brand. Slim Chickens is spreading across the U.S., and now we’re bringing our crispy, crave-worthy chicken and Southern hospitality to Arizona. Want to lead from the front? This is your shot to grow with a brand that’s all about real food, real people, and real opportunities.

Who We’re Looking For: This Role Isn’t Easy – And That’s Exactly The Point.

We want ambitious, resilient leaders who thrive under pressure and know that delivering excellence requires grit and heart. At AZ Slims, our mission is clear: serve high-quality chicken, create memorable guest experiences, and develop a team that’s motivated to push boundaries and grow together. As a family-owned business with deep-rooted values, we believe great leadership fuels success.

What Makes You the Perfect Fit?

You’re a bold leader who puts guests and your team front and center, even when the heat is on. You excel in fast-moving environments, lead by example, and inspire your team to deliver their best — especially during the busiest, most challenging shifts. This is not a “keep it running” kind of job. This is a “”make it better every day” kind of leadership.

Your Role — What You’ll Own:

• Deliver direct, actionable coaching that improves performance and fosters growth — no excuses, just results.
• Manage stressful, high-stakes situations calmly, keeping your team focused and motivated.
  
  
  

Drive Operational Excellence

• Expertly manage labor, food costs, and inventory while balancing speed and quality goals.
• Use data and keen observation to identify problems before they escalate and implement smart solutions quickly.
• Ensure the restaurant operates smoothly and safely, even under pressure, setting the standard for excellence.
  
  
  

What You Bring:

• 2–4 years of proven leadership experience managing teams of 35+ people, with a track record of driving results in a fast-paced environment.
• A relentless commitment to guest satisfaction and team development, even when the going gets tough.
• Exceptional communication and problem-solving skills to lead confidently in any situation.
• Flexibility and grit to manage changing schedules, demanding shifts, and operational challenges head-on.
• Strong analytical skills to turn data into effective, guest-focused strategies.
• An infectious energy that inspires your team to bring their A-game every day.

• Competitive salary
• Join a family-oriented company dedicated to your personal and professional growth.
• Comprehensive dental and health insurance.
• Employee discounts on our delicious menu.
• Paid time off to recharge.
• Advancement opportunities
• 401(k)
