General Manager

This position is with a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee licensed to use McDonald’s logos and food products. Unlike McDonald’s USA, this franchisee is a separate company and employer, responsible for all employment decisions including hiring, firing, discipline, staffing, and scheduling. McDonald’s USA is not involved in employment matters for this restaurant and will not receive applications or participate in interview or hiring decisions.

The restaurant operates under the world-renowned McDonald’s brand, famous for its quick service and quality fast food offerings worldwide. This role is an opportunity to manage a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant environment that emphasizes delivering exceptional food quality, customer service, and cleanliness. As a General Manager, you will have a central role in making sure the restaurant runs efficiently, profitably, and in compliance with McDonald’s high standards. This means taking ownership of operations, coaching and leading a team of department managers and staff, and continually pushing for improvements to ensure excellence in food safety, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

This position offers a fulfilling career path with competitive pay and excellent benefits—including paid vacation, free employee meals, medical, dental and vision coverage, and educational opportunities through McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity program, where you may earn a high school diploma, receive college tuition assistance, or learn English as a second language. The role is ideal for candidates passionate about leadership, personal growth, and community involvement within the hospitality and quick service restaurant industry. It is well-suited for those with previous management experience, especially in fast food or retail sectors, who want to grow their careers with a globally recognized brand in a supportive franchise environment.

As General Manager, you will lead and develop Department and Shift Managers, contribute to their success and training, and ensure that the team is aligned with achieving restaurant goals. Key responsibilities include overseeing daily operations, managing inventory and schedules, upholding internal communications and safety protocols, and fostering a welcoming environment for both customers and employees. This managerial role requires a proactive attitude, strong leadership skills, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams to meet high business performance standards.

Working here means an opportunity to grow professionally while making a positive impact where you work and serve your community. With the support of a motivated team and access to valuable resources, you can pursue your educational goals, acquire meaningful job training, and enjoy financial security through a retirement plan and bonus programs. Make your move to a career where your efforts are recognized and where you can truly say 'McDonald’s works for me.'
