  • Stay up to date on all training materials and courses (i.e., Fred, Hamburger University, OTP, etc.)
  • Prepare restaurant for visits from Health Department and McDonald's corporation.
  • Ensure compliance with all state and national government rules and regulations (i.e., Covid 19, PPE rules and regulations, predictive pay compliance)
  • Complete 30 / 90 day check-in with new hire staff
