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 experienced remarkable growth through building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, making it the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This strong foundation has provided Flynn Group the ability to expand into multiple brands, countries, and industries. Today, Flynn Group owns and operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, in addition to managing a diversified portfolio of restaurants under world-class brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and even fitness centers through Planet Fitness. Flynn Group’s primary mission is to be the premier operator within each of these brands and this mission is driven by their core values of genuinely caring for people, playing like a champion, and winning as one team.

Among the many premier brands under Flynn Group, Flynn Applebee's is dedicated to delivering a memorable dining experience that combines quality food, friendly service, and a fun environment. The Applebee's Cook role plays a crucial part in achieving that experience by ensuring that the restaurant's menu items are prepared to the highest standards consistently.

The physical demands of the role include the ability to remain stationary and exert mobility over periods up to four hours, frequently lifting up to 50 pounds, and working in hot and damp environments. The cook must be able to communicate clearly with fellow staff and maintain hygiene and safety standards as required. Use of protective equipment such as gloves and masks is mandatory throughout shifts, as is frequent hand washing.
