Shift Manager

This job opportunity is offered at a McDonald's restaurant that is owned and operated by an independent franchisee, separate from McDonald's USA. The franchisee has a license to use McDonald's logos and food products, which allows them to operate the restaurant in line with McDonald's standards. However, it is important to note that all employment matters such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling are handled solely by the franchisee, not McDonald's USA. This means the franchisee is your direct employer and responsible for all aspects of your employment.
