Straight answers about KFC jobs

Is it hard to get hired at KFC?

Not for counter work. Most KFC counter ads on Job Bank ask for no experience and say the owner will train you.

How often does KFC pay?

Every franchisee runs its own payroll, so ask at the interview whether pay comes weekly or every two weeks.

Do KFC staff get free food or a discount?

That depends on the owner. A Mississauga ad lists a store discount, and many shift-lead ads include dental and health plans.

Grab a KFC shift before it fills

Owners from Richmond to Chicoutimi are looking for counter staff, cooks and shift leads. Pick the job that matches you and get your name in front of them first.
