Who are we?
Founded in New Orleans in 1972, Popeyes began with one bold idea and a single restaurant — and quickly became a national favorite. Now we’ve brought that same bold flavor to Ireland, and we’re here to serve a new community of chicken lovers.
We’re on a mission to become the most loved QSR brand, with ambitious growth plans and a strong belief that our people should grow with us..
What You’ll Do Here
As a General Manager, you’ll lead every aspect of your restaurant’s performance — from operations and people to guest satisfaction and brand standards. You’ll bring our bold values to life every day and be a true leader who inspires, empowers, and delivers epic results.
You’ll:
Lead all restaurant operations and own KPIs
Delight our guests every time by delivering outstanding service and cleanliness
Drive and deliver your sales and cost budget
Manage food, health, and safety controls and audits to a high standard
Be a proud ambassador of our brand and our legendary, shatter-crunch chicken
Build, develop, and empower your team to perform at their best
Own succession planning for key roles in your restaurant
Lead by example — hands-on, in the kitchen, on the floor, with your team
Create an inclusive, motivating atmosphere where everyone feels valued
Be a vital part of the local community, always doing what’s right for your people
What Will Your Day-to-Day Look Like?
Oversee all financial and operational performance of the restaurant
Motivate and inspire your team through clear leadership and support
Build and manage team schedules, development plans, and performance goals
Ensure compliance with food safety, health and safety, and internal audits
Keep accurate records and complete daily admin tasks efficiently
Deliver on your financial controls within the restaurant’s budget
Communicate effectively with your line manager and support teams
Constantly raise the bar to be the best in your market
What Will You Bring to the Table?
A fun, vibrant attitude and a passion for delivering amazing guest experiences
A “lead from the front” mindset — this is not an office job!
Proven experience in people leadership, training, and performance management
A track record of strong financial and inventory control
Deep knowledge of compliance, food safety, and health standards
Adaptability in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
A hands-on approach with a team-first attitude
You’ll also live our Popeyes values every day:
Bring the fun – Create a positive, energizing culture in your restaurant
Everyone counts – Champion diversity and inclusion on your team
Always fresh – Be curious, adaptable, and ready to grow
We do it together – Roll up your sleeves and lead side by side
Do mighty good – Engage with and give back to your local community

At Popeyes everyone counts, it’s one of our values and something that sits at the core of who we are. We believe inclusivity and respect are at the heart of all we do and we strive to create a place where everyone can be their true self. This is why we assess each application on the aptitude to do the job and nothing else.
