As a Speedee Labs Crew Member, you will:

• Learn and follow McDonald's procedures for service, food production, and food safety

• Help operate a lab restaurant used to test future innovations

• Support experiments that improve menu items, equipment, processes, and technology

• Prepare and taste McDonald's food from markets around the world

• Collect data during innovation experiments

• Validate that new technology and equipment are functioning effectively

• Support leadership tours, tastings, or global visitor sessions
