A Recognized Premier Franchising Company
McDonald's continues to be recognized as a premier franchising company around the world. Perhaps the fact that McDonald's management listens so carefully to its franchisees has something to do with McDonald's being perennially named as Entrepreneur Magazine's number one franchise.

A Partnering Relationship
Our franchising system is built on the premise that the Corporation can be successful only if our franchisees are successful first. We believe in a partnering relationship with our owner/ operators, suppliers and employees. Success for McDonald's Corporation flows from the success of its business partners.

What We Are Looking For
Our selection of prospective candidates is based on an assessment of overall business experience and personal qualifications. We look for individuals with good "common business sense", a demonstrated ability to effectively lead and develop people, and a history of previous success in business and life endeavors. A restaurant background is not necessary. We franchise only to individuals, not to corporations, partnerships, or passive investors.

An Equal Opportunity Franchiser
McDonald's is, by choice, an equal opportunity franchiser, with a proven track record of franchising to all segments of society. In the U.S., minorities and women currently represent over 34% of our franchisees and 70% of all applicants in training.

McDonald's is currently seeking highly qualified individuals to join the McDonald's family as new franchisees in both U.S. and International markets.

McDonald's Corporate People Promise
To the 1.5 million people who work at McDonald's
in 119 countries around the world, and to all future
employees, we want you to know that:

We Value You, Your Growth
and Your Contributions.

This is our People Promise
