The big cheese at Warwick McDonalds, award winner Jasmine Wood.

WARWICK’S Jasmine Wood is the Big Mac of the McDonald’s world after being named a winner of McDonald’s Australia’s Silver Spatula Award, one of the company’s highest honours for restaurant managers.
The accolade is awarded annually to the top 5 per cent of restaurant managers nationwide.
The 24-year-old, who manages the McDonald’s Warwick restaurant, was nominated by restaurant owner Trevor Burton because of her continued ability to build the business, exceptional people management skills and her ability to drive operational excellence within the McDonald’s restaurant.
“McDonald’s Warwick is very fortunate to have someone of Jasmine’s calibre in the Warwick McDonald’s team,” he said.
“Jasmine is a thoroughly deserving winner of the Silver Spatula Award as she always gives her best and should be proud of her continued commitment to the restaurant.
“The Maccas team know how fantastic she is to work with and it’s great to see her receive recognition nationally.”
Jasmine, who started work at McDonald’s 10 years ago, said she was thrilled to be awarded the Silver Spatula Award.
“I was ecstatic when I found out that I had won.
“It’s great to be recognised by Trevor and I’m very proud of this achievement,” she said.
“I couldn’t have done this without my very dedicated and supportive management team.
“I manage 120 crew members and they are all very committed and willing to go the extra mile. They are my biggest strength.”
Jasmine said her favourite aspect of her job as a McDonald’s restaurant manager was training younger staff members and catching up with regular customers.
Jasmine will also attend a McDonald’s Restaurant Managers’ Convention in Queensland in September where she will be thanked for her efforts in front of her peers.
