Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the past two decades, Flynn Group has grown significantly through strategic new store openings and acquisitions of other franchise operators, establishing itself as the largest Applebee's franchisee worldwide. With over 460 Applebee's locations spanning 24 states, Flynn Group has become a dominant force in the restaurant industry. Beyond Applebee's, Flynn Group has diversified its portfolio to include seven premier brands, also operating well-known names like Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. This diversification across multiple segments and countries reflects the company's commitment to sustainable growth and industry leadership.

At the heart of Flynn Group's success is its dedication to excellence, guided by core values that emphasize genuine care for people, a competitive spirit, and collective success. These values foster an inclusive culture that supports employee growth and operational excellence. As a part of this dynamic organization, Applebee's operates within Flynn Group with a mission to be the premier operator in each brand segment it holds.

The role of an Applebee's Cook within Flynn Group offers a unique opportunity for individuals seeking a fun and engaging work environment with flexible scheduling and significant growth potential.

The physical demands of the job include standing and moving for extended periods (up to four hours at a time), safely lifting items up to 50 pounds, and working in hot and sometimes damp conditions. Commitment to maintaining health and safety standards is essential, as employees are required to wear protective hand coverings and face masks when necessary, use disinfecting cleaning supplies, and frequently wash their hands.
