About Kelseys
As Canada's original neighbourhood bar and grill, Kelsey's has been a part of Canadian communities for 30 years. It all started in 1978. Kelsey's was created to be the place where people could go to enjoy great food in a casual atmosphere. Over the years, we continued to grow on that foundation with classic, craveable food and beverages in a warm and comfortable environment. With over 100 corporate and franchised locations, we are continually expanding with a goal to serve all neighbourhoods across Canada. Today, Kelsey's is owned and supported by Cara Operations Limited Canada's oldest and largest branded restaurant company with over 1.3 billion in annual sales from some of Canada's leading restaurant brands; Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, Montana's and Milestone's. Cara's size enables Kelsey's and our franchisees to take advantage of their scale and expertise in Marketing, Product Development, Purchasing, Real Estate, Information Technology and more. At Kelsey's, our "Kulture" is 'all for one and one for all.' We work together as equals to make sure everyone feels comfortable and right at home. We believe in creating a favourite comfort zone for people living and working in our neighbourhoods. We bring fun and energy to everything we do and know there are no shortcuts to delivering the perfect Guest Experience. We offer classic food in a comfortable environment, and look for fun and personal ways to demonstrate that message to our Guests during every visit. We strive for continuous improvement with a commitment to bettering ourselves and each other, everyday. We are looking for candidates who would fit within our Kulture and who are interested in becoming a Kelsey's owner-operator. If you can demonstrate strong leadership and management skills with the ability to develop a team, we may have the business opportunity for you.
