What It's Like To Work At Chick-Fil-A

Frying chicken is not as easy as it seems. Here’s what it’s like to work at one of the busiest Chick-fil-A locations in America.

In 1967, Truett Cathy opened the first Chick-fil-A in Atlanta’s Greenbriar Mall. The menu offered just a few classics, including its famous chicken sandwich, which sold for $0.59.
Over the past five decades, Chick-fil-A has gone from a cult favorite to a dominating presence on the fast food scene. The chicken chain now employs 120,000 people in 2,300 restaurants across 47 states, including New York. It first opened its doors to New Yorkers in October 2015, at the corner of 6th Avenue and 37th street in midtown Manhattan.
This particular location is one of the busiest in the nation, says franchise owner Oscar Fittipaldi. He owned a Chick-fil-A in Philadelphia before being selected among hundreds of applicants to be the brand’s first Manhattan franchisee.
In Philly, Fittipaldi’s restaurant completed about 900 transactions on the busiest days of the week, he tells me, but in New York, “we do 3,500 transactions on the busiest days.”
What’s it like to actually work there? I decided to find out.
To keep up with the demand, Fittipaldi has hired more than 125 team members, including assistant director Monique Mendoza, who let me shadow her during her 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday shift. Mendoza, 22, has been with Chick-fil-A for seven years - she started behind the counter as a teen in Utah and worked her way up to her current managerial position.
Before the sun is up, I head over to the original NYC joint to start my day behind the scenes. Once there, I put on my head-to-toe uniform, which included a hat, red polo and non-slip shoes.
Now I’m ready.

I still haven't ever tried their chicken sandwich - because McD's and school ruined me on them. I ALWAYS go for nuggets and I'm not one to do nuggets or strips everywhere I go, but if we're eating here, that's all I'm getting because I do not trust those chicken sandwiches. LOL!

[@spankythedog56]

Pretty standard procedure for handling chicken in a kitchen. Generally yellow things (cutting boards, knives, gloves) are for chicken. Granted at fancier restaurants it's usually only the cutting boards that are yellow. The cooks would use their own knives or regular knives supplied by the restaurant and you'd just make sure to wash your hands any time you handled chicken.

[@firepower7654]

Fast food isn't meant to be a career choice. It's a starter job for kids. It teaches them to show up to work on time, work hard, get along with co-workers and how to deal with customers with a smile on your face, even when you don't feel like it. However, the best lesson is, one can be stuck in low paying jobs like this if one makes bad choices in life and dosen't plan for the future by going to a trade school or university.

[@samson12319]

Fire Power I work at CFA, I’m a homeowner, and make more than many of my friends who have gotten degrees. It’s the job you choose, and your willingness to climb the ladder and work hard. Student loans aren’t always the solution. Though, your comment would be true for many fast food establishments, but the opportunity for growth and income at CFA is much more than what you’d probably expect.

[@firepower7654]

@@samson12319 samson....I stand corrected. Yes, if one intends to climb the corporate ladder of a fast-food and work their way up into management and in some cases ownership of a franchise, that is seriously admirable. Very hard work, no doubt. But, for the most part, yes, it is usually a temporary job that one learns their basic job values at. There is nothing wrong with that, we all need to learn somewhere. My issue isn't with the people, like you, who have goals and work on improving skills to move up, but with those in fast food that stay stagnant, don't won't to learn how to grow within a company but feel entitled to $27 per hour working the register. People need to learn to move up or move on, but it isn't up to a company to pay them a high wage because they show up. CFA does seem like a fine company. Good luck with your career!

[@samson12319]

Fire Power Absolutely agree. That’s why you see places like McDonald’s replacing cashiers with kiosks. If you want the money, and aren’t worth it you’ll be out the door! I hate entitlement, hard work defines everything.

[@user-pk4fh5wo4l]

Being the guy who breads all the chicken products was extremely stressful during lunch time, especially on Saturdays.

[@emilygrace1960]

LOL! I can 100% tell you - while they do try to keep the kitchen clean and clutter free... it doesn't look like this. This must have been filmed before 9am on any given day because once 9am hits and those breakfast orders start rolling in, that biscuit table does not look that pristine and the rest of the kitchen doesn't either. They are quite good at keeping things in a general area but (lids, containers, etc.) but it never looks like this except in the mornings before 9am and maybe the last two hours on a weekday night. They really should have shown rush hour during lunch or supper. LOL! THAT would have given you a better idea... That being said - it's a pretty impressive operation and to see how it all works together is almost mind blowing. You also can't even begin to know how hard those people in the kitchen work each shift. There is A LOT going on and A LOT to keep up with. No one is "just" taking care of the mac and cheese, or fries, or hash browns, etc. Case in point, the person handling Mac & Cheese, also handles grilled chicken options, salads, cookies, brownies, soup, and they are not only responsible for dipping all of that but they are also responsible for making sure soup is put in the "cooker" and transferred when needed to the hot holding station, they're also responsible for making sure there's enough M&C not only in the warmer (they go through a pan almost every 5-10 minutes during rush hours, sometimes less than that...), they are also responsible for making sure mac & cheese is in the oven and will be ready on time... (time management). And that's just one "station". The sandwich stations are even busier and much crazier than that and there is a lot of strategy and critical thinking that goes into it. It's not just make one order at a time. (Keep in mind, some locations have three drive through LANES (not merger like McD's, BK, and most other fast food) so the people running those stations are making multiple orders at a time for three lanes of drive thru on top of what is often a full dining room as well.) And yet, the amount of completely made fresh - made and baked on site is unreal. Literally, the entire menu is made fresh on site with a few exceptions, depending on location (cookies and brownies). All produce is washed and prepped fresh each day on site... The operation and logistics of this company and how they create such a quality product with epic service to boot is impressive. You would do yourself well to see one in full mode during rush hour for lunch or supper - that's where you really get the full picture of it all. Phenomenal operation.

Rebekah Chmara tell me why when I worked at chick fil a I developed good relationships with coworkers but as people left everyone turned on you

[@apatheticallyconcerned6574]

@@stephbelle56 The owners are Christians, so....in your mind that means that ALL the CFA stores across the world are never going to have some people that don't fit some image you have of a Christian? Are you serious? And to the op...people like you that make comments about others in that way are usually the problem but are too arrogant or sociopathic to realize they are the actually the problem wherever they go. I've been in hiring where I work for 13 years. Every single former CFA employee that has interviewed with us has said that although it was often hard, that they enjoyed having worked at CFA and they learned the value of customer service and a positive attitude and demeanor.

I work in the kitchen at Chick-fil-A and dang they got a humongous kitchen in this video! Ours is tiny! And, yes, I go through probably 25 pairs of gloves in a five hour shift. Anytime you handle one food you gotta switch gloves before you handle a different kind, and then anytime you touch anything that could be dirty, like the ladder to get down more containers or your drink cup or whatever you gotta wash your hands then put on new gloves. And let me tell you those gloves are powdery as all get out, my clothes, my hat, my face, it all look like I was tossing pizzas all day. And the guy who breads the chicken at my location sells marijuana. And I work with a lady named Juana. What a place to work at.

[@AnthonyFarrer_TPG]

[@abbeylinsky3237]

Clipp eD Yeah, I’m at the bottom of the ladder right now, and that pays $10/hr. I think a manager position (of which we have a butt-ton) get paid like $12 or $14/hr I think?

[@carolinamartinez1898]

Aberknackle at the chick fil a I used to work at front of house earned $12 and back of house earned $13. I think you got a pay bump every time you went up. I was just team member, then trainer, then supervisor. I also think you got paid more every 6 months I could be wrong though

[@wanderingoldsoul420]

Anyone handling food should wear gloves. That's against code.

[@ipad9025]

It depends on the area. Some require gloves some don’t. I worked at Whataburger and gloves weren’t required. Gloves aren’t even more sanitary than hands and only morons complain when they don’t wear gloves. Ever tried to wrap those burgers with gloves on? It’s pretty damn annoying.

[@hudsonwasheretoday]

Doesn’t matter if the food taste good and you don’t die

[@OscarHernandez-ls7ll]

Gloves are not required unless you have a open cut. That's why it's very important to wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm/hot water between every task or when handling cash. But personally I think everyone should wear gloves.
