Shift Manager

This job posting is for a position at a McDonald's restaurant that is owned and operated by an independent franchisee, separate from McDonald's USA. This means that the franchisee holds the license to use McDonald's logos, branding, and food products, operating the restaurant independently and handling all employment-related matters. The franchisee, not McDonald's USA, is the employer responsible for hiring, firing, supervision, staffing, scheduling, and all other employment decisions. This distinction is important for applicants to recognize, as McDonald's USA does not participate in the recruitment, interview, or hiring process of the franchise-operated restaurant.
