Job Description

This job posting is for a General Manager position at a McDonald's restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee. It is important to clarify that this franchisee operates independently from McDonald's USA. While the franchisee holds a license to use McDonald's logos and food products, the franchisee is an entirely separate employer responsible for all employment-related matters, including hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling.

Additionally, the General Manager may be responsible for hiring and developing both Department and Shift Managers, ensuring the restaurant is equipped with a strong leadership team capable of sustaining success and growing the business.
