Local McDonald’s manager wins Ray Kroc award
Mary Chafin, manager of the McDonald’s restaurant at 1991 Harshman Road, has been named a recipient of the Ray Kroc award that recognizes the top 1 percent of McDonald’s restaurant managers in the country, the fast-food chain announced today, Feb. 2.
The award, named after the restaurant chain’s founder, is given to managers who “deliver superior results in selected areas of performance such as operational excellence, reinforcing McDonald’s commitment to people and building the business,” a McDonald’s news release said. Only 123 managers receive the award, which comes with a $2,500 cash award.
Chafin, reached at the restaurant, said she was nominated for the award by a McDonald’s operations consultant for the company-owned store that she manages. A northern Kentucky native, Chafin said she has worked for Dayton-area McDonald’s restaurants for 22 years.
McDonald’s has 14,000 restaurants in the U.S.

Only $2,500 “bonus” for being one of the best managers in America? So total Mcdonalds shelled out $307,500(123 x 2,500, for you slow ones) to their top managers across the country. I bet the big wigs received far more than that for their bonuses. At least give her a car or a years salary, $2500 is insulting.
