Crew becomes shift lead becomes GM. Schools go home with real money. Restaurants that grow because of it — not the other way around.

People grow here

From first shift to running the store.

Most of our managers started on crew. That’s the plan, not the exception.

Through McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity, crew get tuition assistance, help finishing a high-school diploma, and English classes — from day one. Crew-to-manager stories from our own stores are on their way.

How we run

Ten restaurants.
One standard.

One standard isn’t a slogan. It’s how ten stores stay as good as one. In August we put the leaders of all ten in one room for a full day — same playbook, same bar, every store.

And when McDonald’s tested its next beverage platform, the system’s national leaders came to Milwaukee — and we hosted. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

“The number changed. The mission never will.”

— Joseph Ricely, Owner/Operator

Join the team

Work where the arches mean something.

Ten restaurants and growing means plenty of places to start — and room to climb between them. Real training, flexible hours, and managers who started on crew. We aren’t here to change who you are. We’re here to invest in you.

In school? Good. Shifts that fit around class, practice, and homework — plenty of our leaders started as students.
