  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I help manage the restaurant. I run shifts, areas, and encourage crew to deliver excellent customer service. I do this by setting a good example of leading in hospitality, with a people-first approach, whilst also balancing focusing on our business metrics to ensure we’re focusing on profitability and success.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed my people skills, and I think one of the best ways this was done was through my ‘customer-profiling’ section, where I learnt what different people are likely to require. Similar skills can be used to get the most out of my team at work too!

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy it a lot. I love how it’s just a bonus thing to do on top of my regular job, and i find the lessons and content both enjoyable and interesting.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Highly. It organises the learning by a breakdown into months, which can make it a lot less overwhelming, and helps you navigate how in front of behind you are on your learning, which I found highly motivating.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • A fair amount actually. I get emails every 6-8 weeks asking how on track I am, asking if they can support in any other ways. They provide ‘HIG’ chats about it, and ensure I’m paired up with someone who’s done it before, so I can ask them any questions.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Tones. My trainer in particular, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], is so helpful, and is always willing to help in the best ways possible.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Hugely. It allows me to see the bigger picture, and thus think about things from another perspective.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • I help organise and run quite a few of our charity events at work.

  • 9a. Would you recommend McDonald's to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I like my job. It’s reliable, and I’m getting paid for my qualifications.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
  • Um.. maybe just make sure you’re prepared to work hard- it can be a stressful environment at times- you have to be able to deal with that well by persevering through it,
