With plans to open around 50 McDonald’s restaurants this year in the country, the company will expand young people’s access to the formal job market

Arcos Dorados, operator of the McDonald’s chain in 20 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, is committed to generating more than 4,000 new formal jobs in Brazil in 2023. The vacancies will be created from the opening of around 50 new restaurants in the country , which represents approximately 60% of the planned expansion plan for the company’s entire operation in the period.

The president of the operator’s Brazil Division, Rogério Barreira, informs that the company still hopes to provide thousands of other job opportunities due to the expected natural rotation of the sector during the year “Our expansion movement allows us to contribute effectively with the solution of one of the social problems in our country, which is unemployment, especially among young people. In addition to generating new jobs and other opportunities for the sector’s natural replacement, we are also concerned with preparing these people for the professional world, whether with us or not. In 2022, we invested BRL 170 million in training our employees and, this year, we will continue to invest heavily in training these people”, he says.

The company’s approach to employability has a special focus on giving young people access to a gateway to the professional world. Currently, employees aged up to 24 represent 62% of Arcos Dorados’ staff in the country and 70% of the people who work in restaurant operations had their first job at the company.

Expansion with digital evolution

The expansion plan announced by Arcos Dorados also foresees investments in restaurant remodeling and renovations, and in the evolution of its digital platform throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Among all the new units, at least 90% will be freestanding, a successful model in line with the behavior and current consumption habits of customers. The format optimizes the operation, offering service in salons, Delivery and Drive-Thru, all in one place.

Channel diversification was also consolidated, increasing its contribution to the company’s sales from 40% in 2020 to more than 50% of sales in 2022 (Delivery, Self-service Totems and App), Brazil being the market that emerges in this modality.
