Welcome to the Leadership Development Program (LDP) at RBI — where bold thinkers take initiative and creativity into their own hands. If you're passionate about building beloved brands, solving real business challenges, and growing in a global QSR powerhouse, this is the place to turn potential into performance. 

Onboarding Week 

Your RBI journey kicks off with a dedicated orientation where you’ll get to dive head-first into our culture at RBI, learn more about our business, brands and strategic plans, while learning new skills and honing existing ones. 

Restaurant Experience Weeks 

After onboarding week, you’ll spend time in our restaurants—learning the core of our business from the people who bring our brands to life every day. You’ll build hands-on experience, including learning how to make some of our most iconic menu items, while gaining a real understanding of what it takes to run a shift, support a team, and deliver an exceptional guest experience. 

These weeks are about more than learning the restaurant: they’ll give you valuable context, perspective, and practical lessons to carry into your first rotation at the Restaurant Support Center and throughout your career at RBI.
