Program Experience

Onboarding Week

Restaurant Experience Weeks

After onboarding week, you’ll spend time in our restaurants—learning the core of our business from the people who bring our brands to life every day. You’ll build hands‑on experience, including learning how to make some of our most iconic menu items, while gaining a real understanding of what it takes to run a shift, support a team, and deliver an exceptional guest experience. These weeks are about more than learning the restaurant: they’ll give you valuable context, perspective, and practical lessons to carry into your first rotation at the Restaurant Support Center and throughout your career at RBI.

These roles are selected based on business priorities and your personal career goals — giving you both structure and flexibility. Our program participants get exposure to a wide range of departments, like:

• Marketing – Creative campaigns, performance analytics, menu innovation
• Operations – Improving standards, training systems, and day‑to‑day restaurant excellence
• Digital & Loyalty – Building and optimizing digital platforms, app engagement, loyalty programs
• Finance – FP&A, capital planning, and analytics to support global growth
• Development & Franchising – Strategic market expansion and partner relationships
• Supply Chain & Procurement – Sourcing, logistics, sustainability, and planning
• People – Talent acquisition, talent management, culture building
• Corporate Communications – Brand storytelling and internal engagement
• Global Business Services – Driving scale, efficiency, and innovation behind the scenes

Ongoing Training & Development

Throughout the program, you’ll receive targeted training in things like problem solving, analytics, communication and leadership, as well as mentorship and career coaching to guide your early‑career development.

Own Your Career

After completing your two‑year LDP journey, your career at RBI is yours to shape, whether you continue building skills in your existing role or make a strategic move into a new function, we’ll support you in building a career with ownership & impact.
