"A part-time job that fits your life: work when you can, grow when you want.”

Working at McDonald’s is varied, fun, and full of opportunities to grow.

Do you know that feeling when your order at McDonald’s Leiden, Alphen a/d Rijn, Leiderdorp, or Sassenheim is ready? You can give other people that great feeling as a Hospitality Crew Member. You deliver Good Times to our guests. You do this by preparing those delicious French Fries or juicy Big Tasty burgers that keep our guests coming back every time. You also develop skills for life, such as teamwork and taking responsibility. Besides preparing products in the kitchen, you also provide service at the counter or handle register duties during your job at McDonald’s Sassenheim. At McDonald’s Alphen Drive, you take orders at the McDrive. Or you serve the orders to the guests. Cleaning tasks are also part of this job; ultimately, you want our guests to always enter and leave with a smile.

No two days are the same at McDonald's, but one thing is for sure: you're always keeping busy! You start your shift together with your colleagues and see which tasks are waiting for you that day. As a Crew Member, you can work in various areas of the restaurant:
  • In the kitchen 
    You prepare burgers, wraps, and other products according to the highest quality standards.
  • At the counter or McDrive
    You take orders, help guests, and ensure they receive their order quickly and with a smile.
  • In the lobby
    You keep the restaurant clean, help guests where needed, and contribute to a great atmosphere.
  • Working as a team
    During busy moments, you work closely with your colleagues to ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Learning and growing
    You receive guidance from experienced colleagues and learn new skills every day in teamwork, service, and responsibility.
The best part? You work in a friendly team, meet lots of new people, and no two shifts are the same. Together, you ensure that guests leave happy and that you look back on every shift with pleasure. In short: plenty of variety, lots of teamwork, and above all, a lot of fun!

No, work experience is not necessary! In fact, many colleagues take their very first steps into the labor market at McDonald's. From your first day on the job, you will receive guidance and training so that you learn everything you need to be successful in your role. We find your motivation, enthusiasm, and team spirit more important than experience. Whether you start as a Crew Member, Host/Hostess, Crew Trainer, or grow into a Shift Manager: you get the chance to develop yourself and learn new skills. At McDonald's, you will learn, among other things:
  • Working together in a team
  • Hospitality and service
  • Communicating with guests and colleagues
  • Taking responsibility
  • Personal and professional skills
So you don't need to know everything yet; if you are motivated, we'll teach you the rest!
