Shift Manager

This job opportunity is offered at a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee licensed to use McDonald’s logos and food products. Although the franchisee operates under the McDonald’s brand, it is a separate legal entity from McDonald’s USA and handles all employment decisions, staffing, and operational management independently. This means that if you are hired, your employer will be the franchisee, not McDonald’s USA. The franchisee is solely responsible for employment actions such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, scheduling, and overall staffing. McDonald’s USA has no involvement or control over employment matters within the restaurant and does not receive applications or participate in hiring decisions.
