Job Description

This job posting is for a position at a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee of the McDonald's brand. This franchisee holds a license allowing them to use McDonald's logos and food products but operates independently from McDonald's USA. As such, the franchisee is the sole employer responsible for all employment-related decisions including hiring, firing, supervision, discipline, staffing, and scheduling.

This distinction is important for applicants to understand before proceeding with their application.

The Shift Manager also promotes safety and security within the restaurant, ensuring both employees and customers have a positive experience. Communication between shifts is essential for seamless operations and continued success.
