McDonald's tops Taiwan's 2025 restaurant job-seeker ranking

McDonald's has been named the most popular chain restaurant for job seekers in 2025, surpassing even the highly-regarded Din Tai Fung. This ranking reflects the preferences of young people seeking employment in the food service industry. The survey, conducted by a job interview sharing platform, revealed that McDonald's is favored for its flexible scheduling and standardized processes, making it ideal for student workers. Din Tai Fung, known for its high salaries and rigorous standards, came in second, followed by Wang Steak, Kura Sushi, and Q Burger. Despite the popularity of these brands, the industry faces high turnover due to factors like low pay compared to other sectors and a preference for flexible work. This has led to a labor shortage and a struggle to retain employees.
