It is important to note that this franchisee operates as a separate company and employer from McDonald's USA. As such, the franchisee, not McDonald's USA, is solely responsible for all employment matters including hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling. McDonald's USA does not control employment decisions, receive employment applications, or participate in interviews and hiring processes. This ensures that employment decisions are made directly by those who manage the individual restaurant location, fostering a personalized and community-focused working environment.

Leadership is key in this role. The General Manager will oversee a team of Department Managers, each responsible for specific operational areas.
