Its been a long time since I have worked at Mc D's , so I will reflect for a moment. Just remember that this occupation is going to be what you make of it. You can be part of clean-up, food prep, fry cook or fryer cook, sandwich or order maker, front line or drive thru cashier. A lot of the management got thier start right where you have applied, entry level.
I am pretty sure you have to be seventeen to start cooking, but I may be wrong. If you cannot cook they will teach you the front counter and how to hand the food out the window to the customers. You will also end up cleaning a lot since you are the new person. If you are cooking age you will most likely learn fries. After that you will learn fried products, chicken nuggets, mcchicken, selects, fish, etc.. Than you will learn how to toast the buns.(This is very very easy, but boring) After that they will either teach you breakfast or they will send you to the sandwich assembly. This will take you at least four to five months to learn everything. I quit McDonald's yesturday it was the worst job ever, but good luck.What does a mcdonalds crew member actually do?
What you will do if hired is dependable. You asked if a 16 year old can cook, I'm guessing that means you are 16.



If you are than you can do quite a bit. You have to be at least 16 to go into the freezers, and work with the fryers.



I don't know where you are located, but your ability to be on the grills is up in the air. Where I work now, in North Dakota, they let 16 year olds cook the meat. In Indiana where I used to work you had to be 18 to work on the grill.



There are some people who are floaters, and are trained in all areas. Other people are strictly trained in one area. I myself am trained in all areas of the store. I can cook, or work the front/drive thru.



If you get called in for an interview tell them what you'd be interested in.



Good Luck!
i work at McDonald's and no it depends where you work at 4 months of working there i learned how do to everything and was promoted by my 5th month at 16, i was legally not aloud to work on the grill till 18 so they might not let you till your 18 depending if its corporate or private owned. you might start off on the register or drive Thur presenter which is handing out food im not sure cause i started off in the grill area and i was 16 and a girl usually they start girls on register and boys in the grill good luckWhat does a mcdonalds crew member actually do?
