Job Description

This job posting is for a restaurant managed by an independent franchisee licensed to use McDonald's logos and food products. It is important to note that this franchisee operates as a separate company and employer from McDonald's USA. Therefore, all employment matters including hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling of employees are exclusively handled by the franchisee and not McDonald's USA. If hired, you will be employed by the franchisee and not the corporate entity. This unique setup allows for a localized management experience while still delivering the McDonald's brand experience and standards. This franchisee-operated restaurant provides an excellent platform for individuals seeking growth, stability, and rewarding career opportunities within the quick service restaurant industry.

The position available is for a General Manager role, designed for candidates who are ambitious and passionate about leading a successful high-volume quick service restaurant. The General Manager is tasked with running a profitable restaurant and ensuring that McDonald's critical customer standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness are consistently met. These standards are rigorous and demand leadership that is proactive, organized, and committed to operational excellence. The General Manager collaborates with leadership to set clear, measurable goals for the restaurant while creating actionable plans to achieve those objectives.

This role involves overseeing a team of Department Managers, each responsible for specific areas within the restaurant operations. The General Manager acts as a coach and mentor, helping Department Managers set their own goals, monitoring their progress, and providing guidance to enhance team and departmental performance. By empowering these managers, the General Manager ensures a cohesive effort toward improving the overall restaurant performance, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.

Additionally, the General Manager is responsible for the recruitment and development of Department and Shift Managers to maintain a strong leadership pipeline and ensure the restaurant’s sustained success. Ideal candidates will have previous experience as a General Manager, particularly in managing high-volume locations, with a preferred background in quick service restaurants. Experience in hospitality or retail management can also be beneficial. Candidates must be at least 18 years old to be considered for this managerial position.

This role offers a flexible work schedule where you can choose your hours, pursue further education, and build your skills in a supportive environment that values authenticity and personal growth. The position is well-suited for individuals eager to say YES to working with energy and purpose, honing leadership skills, and contributing to a business that provides both delicious food and memorable customer experiences.

Working for this franchisee-operated McDonald's restaurant opens the door to a satisfying career with competitive pay and an extensive benefits package. Benefits include 15-25 days of paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, an anniversary splash bonus, and an eight-week sabbatical every 10 years, supporting long-term employee well-being and work-life balance. The Archways to Opportunity program offers education assistance, including earning a High School diploma, college tuition support, and English as a Second Language courses, making continuous professional development accessible.

Additional benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; pre-tax flexible spending accounts; short- and long-term disability insurance; life and accident insurance; paid leaves of absence; service awards recognizing employee contributions; access to an Employee Resource Connection; adoption assistance; and a charitable matching gifts program. These benefits showcase the franchisee's commitment to fostering a supportive and rewarding work environment for their employees.

This opportunity is ideal for motivated individuals who want to be part of a team that values energy, leadership, and customer service excellence. If you are ready to grow your career in a dynamic, supportive environment with opportunities for advancement and robust benefits, this General Manager position at a McDonald's franchisee-operated restaurant is the perfect fit. Apply now to take the next step in your career journey and join a business that truly works for you.
