This means that any candidate hired for this position will have a contractual employer-employee relationship solely with the franchisee, not with McDonald’s USA. The franchisee handles all employment matters including hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling. Therefore, McDonald’s USA does not participate or have influence over employment decisions or candidate selection for this role.
