Job Description
Flynn Group is a globally recognized restaurant franchise operator with a rich heritage that began in 1999 when Greg Flynn acquired eight Applebee's locations. Over the past two decades, Flynn Group has experienced significant growth, becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. Today, the Flynn Group operates more than 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. Beyond Applebee's, Flynn Group has successfully diversified its operations and expanded into other world-class brands, including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and even the fitness industry with Planet Fitness. This extensive portfolio reflects Flynn Group's dedication to excellence and leadership within the franchise industry. Recognized for its strong core values of genuinely caring for people, championing a winning mentality, and emphasizing teamwork, Flynn Group is committed to creating a supportive and dynamic work environment for all employees.
As an Applebee's Assistant Manager within the Flynn Group, you will play a pivotal role in the restaurant's daily operations, ensuring an exceptional guest and team member experience.

You will be instrumental in fostering a positive, energetic, and results-driven atmosphere where both guests and employees feel valued and motivated. This role requires a hands-on approach where you actively contribute by working alongside your team in various capacities — from cooking and bartending to hosting guests — while also managing inventory, scheduling, and compliance with health and safety regulations. You will also have opportunities to develop your leadership skills continuously through Flynn Group's Management Development Program. The company values employees who are resilient under pressure, possess excellent communication skills, and have a passion for delivering memorable dining experiences. The role demands flexibility, as shifts may vary and include weekends. Physical stamina is also essential, as the position involves standing for extended periods and lifting up to 50 pounds. If you seek a challenging yet rewarding career path in a top-tier franchise operation offering diverse growth opportunities, Flynn Group's Applebee's Assistant Manager position could be the perfect fit.
