Job Description

McDonald's is the world's leading global food service retailer, with over 36,000 locations in over 100 countries. The strength of the alignment among McDonald's, its franchisees and suppliers (collectively referred to as the "System") has been key to McDonald's long-term success. By using its System, the company has been able to identify, implement and scale ideas that meet customers' changing needs and preferences. In addition, the business model enables McDonald's to consistently deliver locally relevant restaurant experiences to customers and serve as an integral part of the communities it serves.

The overall vision for McDonald's is to become a modern, forward-thinking burger company delivering a contemporary customer experience. Modern is about getting the brand to where it needs to be today, and forward-thinking is about doing what it takes to be the McDonald's customers will expect tomorrow. To realize this commitment, McDonald’s is focusing on its customers and what matters most to them – hot and fresh food, fast and friendly service, and a contemporary restaurant experience.

The cornerstone of the McDonald’s System is its powerful and enduring brand. As such, the company is demonstrating its competitive strengths: iconic menu items that customers love, a unique franchise model that empowers local entrepreneurs, size and scale that make operational investments efficient, and a global, well diversified geographic footprint.

Key McDonalds's corporation facts

The power of McDonald’s franchisees, suppliers and employees working together toward a common goal is what makes the company the world’s leading quick-service restaurant brand. Franchisees bring the spirit of entrepreneurship and commitment to communities, suppliers are dedicated to the highest levels of quality and safety, and the company facilitates learning and sharing across McDonald’s more than 36,000 restaurants worldwide. Nearly 25 million customers are served daily in the 14,000 U.S. locations.

Financial and operational highlights

While McDonald’s is a global brand, the vast majority of restaurants – more than 80% worldwide and nearly 90% in the U.S. – are owned and operated by approximately 5,000 independent, small- and mid-sized businessmen and women. Franchisees often live in the communities they serve and are committed to making a positive impact locally – from providing good food, customer service and job opportunities, to supporting local charities and other ways of giving back. McDonald’s pays special attention to how its customers are similar and how they are different. For that reason, markets and countries have latitude with regard to menu, marketing, community involvement and local business management.

McDonald’s is about making delicious, feel-good moments easy for everyone. Our purpose goes beyond what we sell.

We create opportunity, encourage diversity, offer training, and facilitate collaboration and reward achievement. We champion happy, healthy kids; we keep families together through Ronald McDonald House Charities; and we strive to reducing our footprint, using less energy and recycling more. And we’re dedicated to doing more, evolving alongside our customers, building memories that last a lifetime and goodwill that lasts forever.
