Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, embarked on its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the past two decades, the company has experienced remarkable growth, both organically through building new stores and strategically by acquiring other franchise operators. This expansion has cemented Flynn Group's position as the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, with over 460 Applebee's restaurants spanning 24 states. Leveraging this strong foundation, Flynn Group has diversified beyond Applebee's, venturing into other brands, countries, and industries, showcasing its adaptability and robust business model.

Established in 2021, Flynn Wendy's quickly emerged as a significant force within the Flynn Group, owning and operating over 300 Wendy's restaurants across eight states. With a dedicated workforce of more than 6,000 employees, Flynn Wendy's is recognized as the fifth-largest Wendy's franchisee in the entire Wendy's system. This impressive scale is a testament to the company's commitment to quality, innovation, and employee engagement, all of which have driven sustained success. Flynn Wendy's fosters an inclusive and supportive work environment where every team member's ideas and contributions are valued and celebrated, reinforcing a culture of collaboration and mutual respect.

Effective communication between restaurant teams and the support center is essential to maintain alignment and operational coherence. Your responsibilities will encompass daily sales performance monitoring, implementing and overseeing marketing strategies, and managing restaurant operations to optimize cost of goods sold, labor expenses, and enhance guest relations. This role requires a dynamic leader capable of laying the groundwork for high-performing restaurants staffed by motivated and engaged crew members.

The position is full-time and offers several enticing benefits designed to support employee well-being and professional growth. These include same-day pay, flexible schedules to promote work-life balance, opportunities for growth and development within the company, complimentary meals, and eligibility for retirement plans and group health insurance. With a work location described as "on the road," this role demands flexibility and mobility, providing a stimulating work environment that offers variety and daily challenges.

Flynn Group's commitment to employees extends beyond professional growth to embracing diversity and inclusion, ensuring that all individuals, including those with disabilities, receive reasonable accommodations or adjustments during the application process.
