McDonald’s T
his year McDonald’s celebrates 50 years in the UK, having opened its very fi rst restaurant in the market in
Woolwich, London, in 1974. With ambitious plans for growth and continued investment in sustainability, technology, local communities and its employees, McDonald’s offers exciting opportunities for franchisees interested in joining one of the world’s most iconic brands. Some of the most signifi cant menu
changes in decades will take place in 2024, with McDonald’s iconic beefburgers being enhanced with a number of small modifi cations combining to make a big difference. That kind of change isn’t possible without
collaboration from the McDonald’s ‘three-legged stool’ – with its suppliers working incredibly hard alongside franchisees and corporate staff. Further ambitions are being targeted as well – such as closing the loop on waste and continuing to contribute more to the communities it operates in. With over 30 years of franchising in
the UK, and currently 90% of the UK and Ireland network operated by franchisees,
BFA status: Established
joining the McDonald’s system can be a hugely rewarding opportunity for an aspirational individual. Franchisees have access to McDonald’s
tried-and-tested methods, its research and development functions and its supply chain, which works with more than 23,000 UK and Irish farmers to produce many ingredients for its popular menu items. Most importantly, franchisees have the support and training that a standalone business simply wouldn’t have. Being a McDonald’s franchisee is a 20-year
commitment, which is one of the reasons why it’s so selective – McDonald’s wants to partner with the right people. While you don’t need experience in the food industry, it’s important that you have a passion for the business and a personable, motivated approach to be able to lead your team from the front. Successful applicants are invited to
participate in the Franchisee Training Programme, which involves full-time restaurant training for a period of between six and nine months (dependent on experience), followed by a business immersion and a handover process.
