Job Description
Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of 8 Applebee's restaurants. Over the last two decades, the company has grown steadily through building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, eventually becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. With a strong foundation built on solid growth and strategic expansion, Flynn Group now operates over 460 Applebee's locations across 24 states, showcasing a significant footprint in the casual dining industry.
Beyond Applebee's, Flynn Group has diversified its portfolio by expanding into other iconic and world-class brands including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. This diverse range of top brands spans various segments of the food and fitness industries, making Flynn Group the largest franchise operator globally. The company's primary mission revolves around being the premier operator within each brand it represents. This mission is reinforced by core values that guide every aspect of the business: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One.
The Applebee's Assistant Manager role offers an exciting opportunity to be deeply involved in the daily operations of a bustling restaurant environment. As an Assistant Manager, you will serve as a key leader responsible for ensuring that every guest and staff member has a passionate, positive experience. This hands-on role requires exceptional leadership skills, excellent problem-solving capabilities, the ability to manage stress effectively, and the drive to continuously perform at a high level.
The Assistant Manager is tasked with cultivating a welcoming culture aligned with Flynn's core values, overseeing service quality according to company guidelines, and ensuring timely and friendly guest interactions. You'll handle guest complaints promptly, maintain product presentation and inventory standards, ensure compliance with safety and sanitation rules, and contribute to the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the restaurant. Scheduling staff in alignment with sales demand, adhering to company policies, and managing costs responsibly are essential to the role.
Furthermore, as a leader in the restaurant, you will foster employee development through training, one-on-one coaching, and performance evaluations. You will support recruitment efforts, promote company training programs, and serve as a role model in all aspects of management. The role requires flexibility to work across various functions within the restaurant — from cooking and bartending to seating guests and maintaining technology systems.
This full-time position offers a competitive salary range of $60,000 to $75,000 annually and includes comprehensive benefits such as health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, 401(k) programs with matching contributions, and paid training. Flynn Group is committed to workplace diversity, inclusion, and accommodation for those with disabilities, making it an excellent place to grow a career in restaurant management while working with a supportive and dynamic team.
