This job posting is for an opportunity to join an independently owned and operated McDonald's restaurant franchise, separate from McDonald's USA corporate operations. The franchisee operates a McDonald's restaurant under a franchise agreement, offering all the values and services customers expect with the unique benefit of local leadership and management. The restaurant is a part of the globally recognized McDonald's brand, known worldwide for its commitment to quality, service, cleanliness, and value. This independent franchise prides itself on maintaining these high standards and delivering a positive dining experience to every customer that walks through its doors.

The position available is for a General Manager role. The General Manager will be responsible for managing the overall profitability of the restaurant and ensuring the McDonald's critical standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness are met consistently. This role encompasses leadership responsibilities where the General Manager sets restaurant-wide goals in partnership with their leader and develops strategic plans to achieve these goals effectively. The General Manager plays a pivotal role in directing daily restaurant operations and ensuring that all Work Center Managers perform at their best.

This position requires a strong leader who can effectively lead a team of Department Managers. The General Manager’s duties include helping these managers set departmental goals, monitoring progress, and providing guidance and coaching to improve their respective departments. Improving department functionality directly contributes to the overall success of the restaurant. The role also involves recruiting, hiring, and developing Department and Shift Managers to build a capable team that can take the restaurant forward into the future with confidence and strong leadership.

Ideal candidates for this role bring previous General Manager experience, preferably in high-volume quick service restaurant environments. Experience in related fields such as hospitality or retail can also be beneficial. The role demands a candidate who is at least 18 years of age due to legal requirements for management positions within corporate-owned and operated McDonald's restaurants.

In return, the General Manager at this Kevco McDonald’s franchise is offered competitive pay along with a comprehensive benefits package. Benefits include paid vacation, educational opportunities through the Archways to Opportunity program (which provides resources such as high school diploma programs, college tuition assistance, and ESL classes), free meals during shifts, health insurance coverage, complimentary uniforms, a flexible work schedule, and a rewarding bonus program. Additional benefits may also be available.

This position requires a versatile, proactive leader who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment and is committed to upholding the standards that make McDonald's a leader in the quick service industry. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role managing a busy restaurant franchise in a dynamic team setting. Applicants should understand that they will be employed directly by the independent franchisee, not McDonald's USA, and all employment decisions will be handled by the franchise management team. This offers a unique blend of local entrepreneurial spirit combined with the strength of a global brand.
