Both McDonald’s (MCD) and Subway are looking to beef up their workforce by hiring thousands of employees over the summer.
McDonald’s announced it would hire about 260,000 workers at its 14,000 restaurants across the U.S. The announcement comes as the fast-food chain begins reopening its dining rooms through a series of safety measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“We are excited to welcome new employees to our McFamily, and we want candidates and their families to know we have one goal – to keep our people safe,” Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said in a statement.
“We’ve put new minimum national standards and nearly 50 new processes in place in our restaurants as they continue to re-open safely and judiciously. Our local business owners are proud to help their communities and provide employment and educational opportunities to hundreds of thousands of people this summer.”
Applicants can apply for a position at Mc Donald’s online at McDonalds.com/careers or in-person or by texting “worksforme” to 36453. Job applications are also available through any Alexa or Google Assistant device.
Subway is also adding to its team with 50,000 new jobs in North America, ranging from entry-level to management positions across its restaurants.
