How do you get to work at KFC? Note: It is better to be more detailed and have a work schedule!

I interned at McDonald's during the summer of college (since I have no part-time experience in KFC, so this article only writes about McDonald's), and I joined as a trainee receptionist. McDonald's has a complete set of employee training plans. Even if it is a summer internship or a part-time job, there are opportunities for promotion, and they are all equal.

To answer lz’s question first, McDonald’s employees basically don’t have work meals. They only have one meal on Saturday. Usually, you can only use your employee card to enjoy a 50% discount on working days (excluding set meals, in fact, in this case Not a discount), but it seems that if you work the overnight shift, you can get another burger and drink for free. I can’t remember this clearly.

Actually, you don’t have to worry about McDonald’s kitchen hygiene issues. I thought it would be dirty at first, but when I entered, I found it was very clean. It was much cleaner than I thought.

Every employee must wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before going to work.

Cooking is basically a process of making semi-finished products into finished products. For example, chicken steaks, beef, etc. are already marinated in bags, and are taken out and heated in designated machines. , plus lettuce and other ingredients to make a burger.

Other products basically follow this process.

It is worth noting that McDonald's has its own set of strict production processes. For example, after putting down the French fries for a few minutes and frying them, you need to flip them a few times in time to continue frying when the machine rings, and when you sprinkle salt How to sprinkle, how many spoons of ice should be added to the drink, how to twist the McFlurry twice to crush the Oreo cookies, etc. The training is really detailed, so even people without any experience will know it after the training. What to do.

(Quiet disclosure, it was only after I went to work at McDonald’s that I learned that you can ask for hamburgers without cheese and other condiments, and you can have the option at the cashier without informing the chef. Then the chef I will "customize" the burger and put a label on it. In fact, I think this move is very good and really goes into the customer's mind~~)

I don't know about the relationship between the managers and employees of other stores. No, but in the store I was in, everyone was very open and happy.

I remember that on my first day of employment, the restaurant informed me that I would go rafting tomorrow and it would be free and I would be paid for 8 hours. When I first heard about traveling, I didn’t want to go because I wasn’t familiar with everyone, but then my eyes lit up when I heard about the 8-hour salary, hahaha. I also met a very nice auntie who told me a lot about the restaurant.

Actually, to be honest, McDonald's does a very good job in terms of employee benefits. Many aunties are willing to work at McDonald's because of McDonald's social security and benefits.

And you will be paid for overtime work, and you will also be subsidized for overnight work. However, each employee has a working time limit each month. Part-time employees cannot exceed 120h/month, and regular employees cannot exceed 160h/month (except managers). So if you want to get a high salary part-time, don’t expect too much~

McDonald’s slogan is “Let’s live together.”

This sentence fully embodies McDonald's spirit of humanistic care. Even the management is integrated with the employees. If you don't look at the position, you may not be able to tell who is the boss. When I entered McDonald's, I was greeted by the assistant store manager.

After a simple interview, she told me that I would become a receptionist, and the promotion process was: trainee receptionist - receptionist - restaurant promotion representative (actually the one you usually see at McDonald's) Wearing pink clothes, playing games with children, without wearing hats) - Manager XX - Manager XX - Deputy Store Manager - Store Manager, etc., uh, my memory is so bad, I don’t remember the details. .

The night after I signed the contract, my boss L added my WeChat account. The next day I started one-on-one training, guiding me in patrolling the store, finding and solving problems, and checking employee appearance and appearance, etc.

(McDonald's employees must iron their work clothes before going to work, otherwise the manager will definitely ask you to go to the break room to change out and iron them before coming out)

The main job of my position is to decorate according to the requirements of each promotional event For restaurants, communicate material issues with the manager in advance, train employees, give customers the best and warmest service experience, hold birthday parties for children, play games with children, etc.

L has been working at McDonald's for more than two years. He is very nice and patient. He is actually the same year as me, but he started working earlier than me. I was secretly surprised, but I still listened to her very carefully and took notes.

Then the next day something happened that I will never forget in my life. Boss L was just taking a break to go play, and suddenly a mission came from the headquarters: a One Piece-themed event. All the decoration tools are in place, but L is not there. But everything had to be decorated before that night for tomorrow's sale. At that time, the store manager had no choice but to call me to a meeting, told me that these must be completed tonight, and encouraged me to do a good job.

I was secretly complaining at that time: I had only been working for one day, and I hadn’t been trained on those things yet. What was so embarrassing was that I had never touched these things! But on the other hand, I also admire them for allowing me to do such a big promotion without any worries. Well, I bit the bullet and did it.

As a result, I actually used my IQ twice as high as usual. I was stunned to assemble the materials and assemble the dolls, and I didn't get off work until 12 o'clock in the evening. Although there was a slight flaw at the back, the store manager told L about it the next day and praised me. When L told me, I was really happy. I felt like I was praised as soon as I came in, and I felt very satisfied.

One time, I had to go in and help at the counter during a busy period, and I was not familiar with the process. I was too slow and was told a few words by a manager, which was very uncomfortable. I almost cried at that time, but the assistant store manager and my boss L came to comfort me and loudly blamed the manager for letting me come here because I was not familiar with the process. At that time, my heart felt really warm. At McDonald's, even if you make a mistake, the management will not blame you too much, but will slowly teach you again until you can do it.

Another thing happened later. At that time, I was just a trainee receptionist. To become a formal receptionist, I still needed to pass an exam.

McDonald’s has its own assessment system and examination system. Everyone has to log in to take the exam, which happens every once in a while. And it’s not just online exams, there are also trainer assessments. Consider the promotion of employees after considering both aspects.

One time it was my turn to take an exam. P has been working for more than a year and was promoted to trainer to conduct assessments on me. In fact, it is almost the same as usual work, washing hands, cashiering, tidying up the counter, placing orders, etc. But at that time, she kept urging me (just like you usually know how to drive, but you can't do it correctly when the instructor is scolding you during the driver's license test...). Later, I messed up the steps, and she started to blame me. I am very strict.

In the end, I actually cried...well, I really cried o(╯□╰)o When the store manager found out, he called me to the office, and I couldn’t stop crying. Comfort me (the store manager is a man). I admit that I am a glass-hearted person, but the store manager was really patient and kept giving me tissues and chatting with me for more than half an hour. It's funny to say, he said please stop crying and talk about it slowly. I actually said: I just can’t stop... It’s really o(╯□╰)o when I think about it now, but at that time I benefited really deeply. A store manager who is willing to spend his precious time to enlighten you, is so patient, and is also a handsome guy O(∩_∩)O

Later, due to various reasons, I resigned, but it was by no means Because the working environment was not good and I had no ambition to develop in the catering industry. One day after a long time, I posted a message on WeChat Moments: We stopped and walked along the way, and we didn’t know what we wanted anymore. I was in a very confused period at the time.

The store manager left a message below: McDonald's welcomes you back at any time.

When I saw it, I couldn’t help crying. I think no matter what happens in the future, I will work hard.

When I achieve something, I will go back to McDonald's, see the store manager, chat with him, and tell him: Thank you, and thank you McDonald's for touching me.
