This job opportunity is offered by a restaurant that is owned and operated by an independent franchisee, which holds a license to use McDonald's trademarks, logos, and food products, such as those seen in the operation of the restaurant. It is important to highlight that this franchisee operates as a completely separate entity from McDonald's USA. This means that if you are hired for this position, your employer will be the franchisee, not McDonald's USA. All employment-related responsibilities, including hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling of employees, rest exclusively with the franchisee. McDonald's USA does not exert any control over employment matters within this restaurant and does not participate in decisions such as whether you receive an interview or are ultimately hired.

Kitchen managers are responsible for maintaining food quality, managing food safety standards, controlling food costs, and training team members on production procedures. People department managers oversee hiring, crew training, scheduling, and motivating staff to ensure the restaurant meets its sales and profit goals.
