NOTE: The description, below describes what members of our Catering & Community Events team members are doing. THIS role is to do the coordination of their activities happening "in the field" ,(selling sandwiches at events) and the kitchen who is preparing the food.

We take Chick-fil-A into the community! We sell chicken sandwiches & nuggets on-site to hungry crowds at festivals, concerts, sports tournaments and swim meets. We also have concession space at some indoor sports arenas. All cooking is done back at the restaurant so there is no cooking on site.
