Job description

Department Manager
Starting at $18-$20/hr
Step Up, Lead Strong, and Make a Real Impact
As a Department Manager, you're not just leading a shift-you're building a team, driving performance, and helping lead a business. This is the next level of leadership at McDonald's, with clear pathways for growth and personal development.
If you're an experienced Shift Manager or a motivated leader in hospitality or retail, this role gives you the opportunity to coach others, take ownership of results, and make a real difference in our restaurants and your own career.
What You'll Do:
As a Department Manager, you'll take ownership of one of three core areas of the restaurant:
Guest Services
  • Ensure exceptional customer experiences in the dining room, drive-thru, and front counter
  • Lead sales promotions and service training
  • Motivate staff to deliver fast, friendly service

Kitchen Operations
  • Deliver quality, food safety, and speed in every meal
  • Monitor and control food costs
  • Train kitchen team on prep procedures and new menu items

People & Staffing
  • Recruit, train, and schedule qualified crew
  • Support employee development and performance
  • Recognize and reward great work

All Department Managers help lead shifts, coach crew and shift managers, track progress toward goals, and create a positive team culture that supports success.
Growth Path: Become a General Manager
Top-performing Department Managers have the opportunity to be promoted to General Manager, a salaried leadership position with additional benefits and greater responsibilities. This includes paid, in-person leadership development courses at Hamburger University in Chicago-a world-class training program for future McDonald's executives.
✅ What We're Looking For:
  • Previous leadership experience in restaurants, retail, or hospitality
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to inspire, organize, and hold teams accountable
  • Must be 18+ and available for a flexible schedule

Benefits You'll Love:
  • Competitive pay starting at $18-$20/hr
  • Up to 15 days paid vacation
  • 401(k) with 4% company match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability, life & accident coverage
  • Paid leaves of absence
  • Free meals during shifts
  • World-class training & career development
  • Education assistance via Archways to Opportunity
  • Employee Resource Connection and service awards

The Fine Print:
This posting outlines the typical responsibilities of the role but is not an exhaustive job description. Department Managers often perform a wide variety of tasks, and each day may bring something new.
This is a position with a franchise-owned McDonald's location, not McDonald's USA. By applying, you acknowledge that all hiring, scheduling, and employment decisions are made by the independent franchisee-not McDonald's Corporation.
