Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に学歴や資格は必要とされない。正社員である店長は、各企業の養成機関で店の運営等について研修等を集中的に受ける。研修期間は各企業により異なる。
　入職後、各店舗で経験を積み、昇進試験をパスして、「食品衛生責任者」などの資格を取得した上で店長になるケースが多い。
　ハンバーガーショップの多くはチェーン展開しているが、店舗としてはチェーン経営会社が直接経営を行っている「直営店」と、フランチャイズ契約を結んだオーナーが経営者である「フランチャイズ店（FC店）」の２種類がある。FC店ではオーナーが店長を兼ねている場合もある。また、正社員としてハンバーガーチェーン会社に入社した者が、オーナーやオーナー店長として独立するケースもある。
　店長には、スタッフを統率・指導するリーダーシップのほか、食品衛生の知識、売上を管理する能力などが求められる。
