Who
We Are: Everyone's job at Chick-fil-A
is to serve. No matter our title or job description, our reason
for coming to work is to generously share our time and talents.
Whether it's treating customers like friends, or serving our communities
like neighbors, we believe kindness is a higher calling.
Our founder, Truett Cathy,
made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his
first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having worked seven days
a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance
of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside
one day to rest and worship if they choose — a practice we
uphold today.
In our kitchens, we try
to focus on freshly prepared food crafted with quality ingredients.
We serve chicken made from breast meat, breaded by hand in-restaurant.
Fresh produce is delivered to our kitchens several times a week.
Salads are prepared throughout the day. Our regular Chick-fil-A®
Lemonade is prepared daily with lemon juice, pure cane sugar and
water.
“We should be about
more than just selling chicken. We should be a part of our customers’
lives and the communities in which we serve.”
S. TRUETT CATHY 1921—2014
For millions of people,
a nourishing meal is a critical need. That’s why we created
the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative to help
restaurant Operators fight hunger in their local communities.
Today, more than 1,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants across 47 states
donate surplus food to local soup kitchens, shelters and nonprofits
through Chick-fil-A Shared Table, and that number continues to
grow each year. To date, we have donated more than 15 million
meals to serve those in need.
Chick-fil-A was voted as America’s
favorite and one of the fastest-growing quick-service restaurants
in the country
