General Manager

This job opportunity is with a restaurant that is owned and operated by an independent franchisee of McDonald's, a global leader in the fast-food industry. Unlike McDonald's USA, this franchisee functions as a separate company and employer, licensed to use McDonald's branding and food products to serve customers. The franchisee holds full responsibility for all employment-related activities including hiring decisions, staffing, disciplinary actions, supervision, and scheduling within the restaurant. This means that although the restaurant operates under the McDonald's name, all employment matters are directly managed by the franchisee and not McDonald's USA. If hired, the franchisee will be your employer, providing you with a unique opportunity to work within a prominent brand while benefiting from a personalized management approach.

These rigorous standards ensure that every customer enjoys a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. To achieve this, the General Manager works closely with senior leadership to establish and implement clear goals for the restaurant, developing strategic plans to meet these objectives. The role demands strong leadership skills, as the General Manager oversees a team of Department Managers, each responsible for specific areas within the restaurant. This includes setting goals for the team, monitoring progress, and offering coaching and support to optimize each department's performance.

Beyond operational oversight, the General Manager plays a pivotal role in talent management, responsible for recruiting, hiring, and developing Department and Shift Managers to build a robust team capable of leading the restaurant into the future. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated experience managing high volume locations, particularly within the quick service restaurant sector. Experience in related fields such as hospitality or retail is also highly valued. Candidates must meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years to qualify for a managerial role in these restaurants.
