Crew Team Member - Chico, CA
Posted on October 24, 2025
This job opportunity is with a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee of McDonald's. Unlike McDonald's USA, which owns the brand and operates many restaurants directly, this particular location is managed by a separate company granted a license to use McDonald's logos and food products. This means that while the restaurant maintains the familiar branding and consistent menu that McDonald's is known for worldwide, the day-to-day operations, employment decisions, and management are conducted solely by the franchisee. The franchisee is the exclusive employer, responsible for hiring, firing, managing staff, and scheduling at the restaurant. McDonald's USA does not have control over employment-related matters at this franchise, does not receive job applications, and does not participate in any hiring decisions.
McDonald's and its independent franchisees place great value on their employees, aiming to create an environment that encourages learning, growth, and success. This is reflected in their commitment to providing excellent training and industry-leading educational programs. Employees have access to world-class development tools such as Archways to Opportunity, which includes high school completion courses, upfront college tuition assistance, and English language classes. These initiatives empower crew members with valuable life skills in addition to the basic job tasks, helping them not only thrive while working at McDonald's but also prepare for future endeavors, whether at McDonald's or elsewhere.
The role of a Crew Team Member at this franchise is much more than just a casual job. It represents a significant opportunity to gain essential workplace skills, build confidence, and be part of a dynamic team in a fast-paced service environment. The business seeks individuals who bring an outstanding attitude, a willingness to learn and grow, and the capability to excel in teamwork-focused settings. From meeting customers with positive interactions to preparing McDonald's iconic food items, and supporting restaurant operations to maintain a clean and inviting atmosphere, crew members play an integral role in the daily success of the restaurant.
Crew Team Members are responsible for connecting with customers to ensure they have a positive experience during their visit. They help customers order their favorite meals, prepare all food items consistently and hygienically to McDonald's world-famous standards, and collaborate with other crew and management team members to achieve daily operational goals. The job is designed to accommodate a variety of schedules including breakfast, lunch, late nights, and weekends, making it suitable for those seeking part-time roles that complement other commitments or full-time positions.
Applicants must be at least 16 years old to be eligible for this position. While this posting outlines typical duties and benefits, it is not exhaustive; crew members perform numerous essential functions daily, expanding beyond the list provided. Joining this team means becoming part of a supportive and growth-oriented environment where personal and professional development are highly encouraged. The franchisee actively promotes a culture of respect and teamwork, ensuring the workplace remains enjoyable and productive for everyone involved.
By applying, candidates acknowledge the independent nature of the franchisee's business operations separate from McDonald's corporate entity, understanding that all employment decisions are managed by the franchisee and not McDonald's USA. This clarity empowers prospective employees with transparency concerning their employer and the application process.
