Kitchen Team Member

San Diego, CA

Make more money. Work with positive people. Love your job. Isn't that exactly what you want?

Start at $20.50/hour with room for promotion! Part time and full time work available. Retirement plans, as well as medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits offered to full-time employees.

Role Summary: Prepare, cook and present meals safely and efficiently. Our goal is to be the fastest, most accurate, and tastiest QSR dining experience in San Diego. 

This job looks great on a résumé, provides flexible scheduling and leadership opportunities, and allows you to make a real difference in people's lives. Our kitchen team is fast, fun, and committed to serving only the best food all day, every day.

This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to do something meaningful with your time and to be a part of a work family that cares about you and your dreams. Chick-fil-A is the best quick service restaurant in the country, giving the fastest drive-thru experience and highest quality food on a consistent basis.

How do we do it? YOU. We believe in you and care about you. We offer scholarship opportunities for team members furthering their education (which we highly encourage). We have health and life insurance offerings for full-time team members. Whenever you work, you eat for free, and unlike other quick service restaurants, you'll want to eat here. We aim to be the most trusted restaurant and most popular destination in the Del Sur/4S Ranch community for decades to come, and YOU are the next chapter in a long and celebrated Chick-fil-A history

If you're looking for an easy, dead end, stand-around job, this isn't the team you're looking for. If you want to achieve only half your potential and take whatever position is most convenient for you, this isn't the team you're looking for. 

If you want to break records, make history, build real relationships and invest in leadership skills that last a lifetime, this is where you belong. We have team members who drive long distances to get here, who take the bus for an hour, who come just to hang out when they're not working. That's how meaningful this family and this Chick-fil-A name is to them. See for yourself. Get going on that application!
