Shift Manager

This job posting is for a Shift Manager position at a McDonald's restaurant that is independently owned and operated by a franchisee, not McDonald's USA.

This distinction is important because any applicant hired for this role will be employed directly by the franchisee, which manages the restaurant's staffing, supervision, discipline, scheduling, and all other employee-related matters. McDonald's USA has no involvement in the hiring process or employment decisions at this location.
