General Manager

Operating globally, McDonald's is a leader in the fast-food industry, offering customers consistent quality, excellent service, and a clean and friendly dining environment. While McDonald's USA acts as the overarching corporation, many McDonald's restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees. These franchisees use McDonald's logos, food products, and business standards while running their restaurants as separate, independent companies. This gives them the autonomy to manage their operations, including employment decisions and local business practices, adhering to the core McDonald's values and standards.
