Shift Manager

This job posting is for a position at a McDonald’s restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee. Unlike corporate-owned McDonald’s USA locations, this franchisee is a separate and distinct company responsible for managing all employment matters such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling. McDonald’s USA licenses the use of its logos and food products to the franchisee but does not participate in employment decisions for this establishment. Therefore, applicants who apply for this job will be employed by the franchisee, not McDonald’s USA.
