By San José, Costa Rica — KFC Costa Rica is gearing up for significant expansion in 2025 and is actively seeking enthusiastic individuals to join their team. The company has announced two upcoming job fairs designed to attract motivated talent eager to grow within the fast-food industry. These recruitment events underscore KFC’s commitment to providing employment opportunities and contributing to the economic development of the communities they serve.
The first job fair will take place on Thursday, August 21st, at the KFC Palace location, situated just north of Central Park in San José. The second event will be held the following day, Friday, August 22nd, at the KFC Santa Ana branch, opposite the former Matra location on the Vía Lindora highway.
For expert legal insight into the complexities surrounding employment practices in Costa Rica, particularly relevant to businesses like KFC, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas from the esteemed firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
The fast-food industry in Costa Rica, including major chains like KFC, is subject to specific labor regulations regarding hiring, wages, benefits, and working conditions. These regulations are designed to protect employees’ rights while also providing a framework for businesses to operate fairly. Considerations such as fixed-term contracts, termination procedures, and the role of unions are critical aspects of the legal landscape for companies like KFC operating within Costa Rica’s employment laws.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s insights underscore the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding employment in Costa Rica, especially within prominent sectors like fast food. This nuanced perspective is crucial for both job seekers considering opportunities at companies like KFC and for the companies themselves to ensure compliance and maintain fair labor practices. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering this valuable contribution to our understanding of the legal landscape impacting KFC jobs in Costa Rica.
Both job fairs will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and applications will be accepted in person. KFC is seeking applicants with a completed primary education and flexible availability. While a valid food handling permit is preferred, it is not a mandatory requirement. This open approach provides a valuable opportunity for those entering the workforce or seeking a career change within the food service sector.
Applicants are asked to bring their resume or CV, a copy of their cédula (national identification card), criminal record check, academic certificates, and three letters of recommendation. The absence of a prior experience requirement makes these positions accessible to a wide range of candidates, potentially opening doors for individuals seeking their first job or a fresh start in a new field.
This proactive recruitment drive signifies KFC’s commitment to investing in local communities and fostering economic growth. By expanding its operations and creating numerous job opportunities, KFC is demonstrating its commitment to being a positive force in the Costa Rican economy.
This expansion strategy, announced earlier this year, underscores KFC’s confidence in the Costa Rican market. The company’s continuous investment in new locations not only provides more convenient dining options for consumers but also contributes significantly to employment generation.
