Job description

The General Manager role at McDonald's in Dallas, TX is a full-time opportunity for experienced quick-service restaurant leaders ready to run a high-volume operation, build a strong team, and advance their career with one of the world's most recognized brands.

Role Overview

This position is based in a restaurant owned and operated by an independent franchisee. While the franchisee holds a license to use McDonald's logos and products, they function as a separate employer from McDonald's USA. All employment matters — including hiring, scheduling, and supervision — are handled exclusively by the franchisee organization.

The core mission is demanding: run a profitable restaurant while meeting McDonald's critical customer standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness (QSC). You will collaborate with leadership to set restaurant goals and build actionable plans to achieve them.

Key Responsibilities

• Profitability: Drive financial performance and ensure the restaurant operates successfully.
• Team Leadership: Lead a group of Department Managers — helping them set goals, track progress, and providing ongoing coaching.
• Talent Development: Hire and develop Department and Shift Managers to future-proof the restaurant's leadership pipeline.
• Standards Compliance: Uphold high QSC benchmarks across every shift.

Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 3 years as a General Manager running high-volume locations.
• Industry Background: Quick-service restaurant experience is strongly preferred; hospitality or retail backgrounds are also valued.
• Age Requirement: Must be 18 years or older to serve as a manager.

What This Role Offers

Eligible General Managers at McDonald's Corporate owned restaurants can access a strong benefits package, which may include:

• Paid vacation
• Education support through Archways to Opportunity — including High School degree completion, college tuition assistance, and English classes as a second language
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Service awards
• Employee Resource Connection
• Matching gifts program

Note: Since this location is franchisee-operated, specific benefit offerings may vary. Confirm details directly with the franchisee during the interview process.

Application Tips for Restaurant General Managers

• Highlight P&L ownership: Quick-service restaurant GMs are expected to own profit and loss. Showcase specific examples of how you improved food cost percentages, labor cost management, or overall unit profitability.
• Emphasize QSC metrics: If you have experience with McDonald's QSC framework or similar systems at comparable brands, mention your audit scores and how you maintained compliance across shifts.
• Demonstrate team-building results: Include retention rates, internal promotion counts, or training milestones. Franchisees value leaders who grow people, not just sales.
• Prepare for operations scenarios: Be ready to discuss how you would handle a peak-hour staffing shortage, a health inspection, or a customer escalation. Scenario-based questions are standard in QSR interviews.
