The 11-Month Interview: How to Become a McDonald's Franchisee

McDonald's doesn't sell franchises — it chooses people. I went through the full selection process: two interviews, a week working in a restaurant, a forensic financial check, psychometric tests, two hours with an organisational psychologist, and a final panel. Eleven months, start to finish. In this video I walk through every stage, what they're really testing for, and the mistakes that quietly end applications. I own three McDonald's restaurants in the UK and lead a team of nearly 300 people. Before that, I worked behind the counter as a crew member. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Eleven months 0:40 Who I am + how to use this video 1:14 Stage 1 — The online application 2:13 Stage 2 — The first interview 3:25 Stage 3 — The restaurant week 5:17 Stage 4 — The financial background check 6:18 Stage 5 — The second interview 7:28 Stage 6 — Psychometric tests 8:08 Stage 7 — The organisational psychologist 9:05 Stage 8 — The final panel 10:04 The phone call ⚠️ The selection process can change.
