The Fine Print:

This job posting outlines the General Manager role but is not a full job description. Daily responsibilities may vary and evolve with business needs.

This is a position at a franchise-owned McDonald's location, not McDonald's USA. By applying, you acknowledge that hiring, pay, scheduling, and all employment decisions are managed solely by the independent franchisee—not McDonald's Corporation.
