Job Description

McDonald’s is seeking a General Manager to lead a high-volume restaurant location in Arlington, TX. This full-time position is operated by Grissett Enterprises LLC, an independent franchisee that holds a license to use McDonald’s brand and food products. The franchisee functions as a separate employer from McDonald’s USA and assumes full responsibility for all hiring, staffing, scheduling, and operational decisions. Successful candidates will step into a pivotal role where operational excellence and team development directly shape the restaurant’s success.

Core Responsibilities of the General Manager

The General Manager is tasked with running a profitable restaurant while upholding McDonald’s critical customer standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness. Achieving these benchmarks requires a leader who can collaborate with senior leadership to set restaurant goals and create actionable plans to achieve them.

Beyond personal accountability, the role demands extensive team leadership. The General Manager directs a team of Department Managers, helping them set departmental objectives, monitoring progress, and delivering consistent coaching to elevate performance. By improving each department, the restaurant as a whole improves.

Additionally, the General Manager frequently oversees the recruitment and professional development of both Department and Shift Managers, ensuring the restaurant maintains a strong leadership pipeline for the future.

Required Candidate Profile

• Experience: Previous tenure as a General Manager running high-volume locations is essential.
• Industry Background: Quick-service restaurant experience is strongly preferred, though hospitality or retail management backgrounds are also valued.
• Age Requirement: Applicants must be 18 years or older to qualify for a management position.
• Leadership Acumen: Proven ability to mentor subordinate managers, delegate effectively, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

• Monthly bonus potential
• 5 days paid vacation
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Pre-tax and ROTH 401k accounts with employer annual matching contributions
• Short- and Long-Term Disability, life and accident insurance
• Education through Archways to Opportunity, including college tuition assistance, High School degree completion, and English classes as a second language

Application Tips for Restaurant Management Candidates

To stand out when applying for this General Manager role, candidates should tailor their professional documentation to highlight specific metrics from their management backgrounds. Emphasize your track record in managing high-volume operations, detailing how you optimized labor costs, improved throughput, or reduced employee turnover.

In the quick-service restaurant sector, proficiency in inventory management systems, labor scheduling software, and local food safety compliance is highly advantageous. Showcase instances where your coaching directly improved a subordinate manager’s performance metrics. Highlighting hard skills—such as P&L analysis, supply chain coordination, and shift choreography—will demonstrate your readiness to handle the multifaceted demands of this leadership position.

For professionals ready to advance their careers in restaurant management, this position offers a dynamic environment where strategic leadership meets operational execution. Interested individuals should ensure their applications reflect both their managerial competence and their alignment with the brand’s commitment to delivering feel-good moments to every customer.
