We are seeking an energetic leader to join our team as the restaurant general manager. This individual will be responsible for coordinating people, systems, and routines to ensure total customer satisfaction and desired business results.

This job posting is for a position in a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee and not McDonald's USA.

However, this franchisee is a separate company and a separate employer from McDonald's USA. If you are hired for the job described in this posting, the franchisee will be your employer, not McDonald's USA. Only the franchisee is responsible for employment matters at the restaurant, including hiring, firing, discipline, supervisions, staffing, and scheduling employees. McDonald's USA has no control over employment matters at the restaurant. McDonald's USA will not receive a copy of your employment application and it will have no involvement in any employment decisions, including whether you receive an interview for the job or whether you are hired.

The general manager is responsible for running a profitable restaurant and for making sure the restaurant meets McDonald's critical customer standards of quality, service, and cleanliness. These standards are high, so this is a big job! The general manager works with his/her leader to set the restaurant's goals and creates a plan to achieve the goals.

To meet restaurant goals, the general manager doesn't work alone. He or she leads a team of department managers that has specific responsibilities in the restaurant. This means helping the department managers to set their own goals, following up on their progress, and providing coaching and direction to improve their departments. By improving the departments, the restaurant improves!

The general manager may also be responsible for hiring and developing department and shift managers to make sure that the restaurant has the right team to lead into the future.

Ideal candidates should have previous general manager experience running high volume locations. A background in quick service restaurants is strongly desired, or experience in hospitality or retail. You must be 18 years or older to be a manager in our corporate owned and operated restaurants.
