This job opportunity is with a franchise-owned McDonald's location, a globally recognized leader in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry. McDonald's is renowned for its commitment to quality food, exceptional customer service, and a strong corporate culture that nurtures leadership and career growth. The franchise we're hiring for operates under McDonald's brand standards but manages its own employment and operational decisions independently. This ensures local control while benefiting from the established reputation and frameworks of one of the world's largest fast-food chains.
The role of General Manager at this franchise-held McDonald's is a pivotal leadership position that acts as the captain of the restaurant. This position involves full accountability for driving operational excellence, leading a team, and ensuring that every guest enjoys a superior dining experience. The General Manager oversees all aspects of the restaurant’s functionality including quality, service, cleanliness, and safety compliance. This role offers a competitive salary ranging from $50,000 to $70,000 annually, with starting pay at $50,000 for those not yet certified by Hamburger University (HU) and a range of $53,000 to $70,000 for those who have enrolled or completed certification. Additionally, there is a monthly performance-based bonus program to reward exceptional results and leadership.
As the General Manager, you will be the key driver of the restaurant's success by managing staff, implementing sales and profitability strategies, and fostering a positive and productive work environment. Leadership extends beyond daily management: this role also involves hiring, training, and developing department and shift managers to ensure long-term leadership strength and stability. You will closely collaborate with your Area Supervisor to align on goals, staffing levels, and execution of strategies that meet corporate standards and customer expectations.
One of the unique aspects of this role is the opportunity for growth through Hamburger University, McDonald’s revered training institution. If not already certified, you would be eligible to attend HU in Chicago, with all travel and tuition expenses covered by the company. Completing this program not only qualifies you for a higher salary range but also opens doors to expanded career opportunities within the McDonald’s system.
This position is ideally suited for energetic and experienced leaders who have a background in managing high-volume QSR, retail, or hospitality operations. Strong team-building, goal-setting, and performance management skills are critical, as you will be guiding a diverse team in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. The role requires a candidate who is at least 18 years old with flexible availability to meet the demands of restaurant hours. The franchise values accountability, recognition, personal growth, and a commitment to operational excellence.
Offering a comprehensive benefits package, the franchise supports employee well-being through paid vacation, a 401(k) plan with a 4% company match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as short- and long-term disability, life and accident coverage. Additionally, the Archways to Opportunity program supports employees’ educational aspirations, including high school diplomas, college tuition assistance, and English language courses. Recognition programs and employee resource support further foster a rewarding work culture. Free meals during shifts also enhance the employee experience.
This franchise-owned McDonald’s restaurant offers a challenging and gratifying opportunity for ambitious leaders to build a rewarding career within one of the world’s most iconic brands while enjoying competitive compensation and meaningful benefits.
