Meet Restaurant Operator

Micah Payton

It's my full-time career – and truly, my passion – to make sure that every one that is served at our restaurant is cared for and has a remarkable experience. In fact, it is our Vision to Be Manteca’s Most Caring Company. While I am part of a large organization with Chick-fil-A, as an Owner-Operator, I am an individual business partner of Chick-fil-A. This brings not only responsibility and accountability, which is good for Guests and our Team Members alike, it also allows me to make the Restaurant a home in this community to all who enter our doors or come through our drive-thru. I am grateful that we brought the first Chick-fil-A to Manteca, The Family City, in 2020, and opened our second Chick-fil-A Restaurant in Manteca in April 2025. My extended family is from the Central Valley, but I have lived most of my life in Colorado. My wife and three children are excited to establish deep roots here. It is my personal goal to offer outstanding food with unparalleled service, while creating a welcoming environment for everyone. We are committed to serving our community, delivering smiles, developing leaders, and creating memories. I am truly passionate about developing the next generation of leaders in our community. I look forward to meeting you in the Restaurant, so please stop by and say hello!
