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, the company has experienced significant growth, both organically by building new locations and through strategic acquisitions of other franchise operators. Today, Flynn Group stands as the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, boasting over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. This impressive foundation has allowed Flynn Group to expand its reach not only within the Applebee's brand but also into other prominent brands, countries, and industries, developing a diversified portfolio that spans multiple food and fitness segments.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands under the umbrella of Flynn Group, which is recognized as the largest franchise operator globally. The company's portfolio includes iconic and world-class brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. Flynn Group's primary mission is to excel as the premier operator within each of these brands, guided by core values that emphasize genuine care for people, competitive spirit, and teamwork—expressed as "Care Genuinely for People," "Play like a Champion," and "Win as One."

This role as an Applebee's Cook presents an exciting opportunity within a fun and dynamic work environment. Employees enjoy flexibility in their schedules, which supports a healthy balance between work and personal life. Additionally, the company offers competitive wages, daily pay options (with the exception of California), healthcare benefits, meal discounts, and clear career advancement pathways. The role is ideal for individuals who are enthusiastic about food, enjoy working collaboratively in fast-paced teams, and are committed to delivering high-quality dining experiences that keep guests coming back.

As a Cook at Applebee's, you will be responsible for preparing the restaurant's popular menu items to the highest standards. Excellent communication skills and the ability to function effectively as part of a cohesive team are essential. The environment is fast-paced, but employees often report having a great time while working hard. To qualify for this position, candidates must be at least 18 years old, capable of clear communication, and driven to make a positive impact in their workplace.

Physical standards for this role include the ability to remain stationary and exert moderate mobility over extended periods (up to four hours), safely lift up to 50 pounds frequently, and work comfortably in hot and sometimes damp kitchen environments. Employees must also possess manual dexterity to operate kitchen tools and equipment and be able to comply with health and safety protocols, including wearing protective hand coverings and face masks when required, handling disinfectant cleaning supplies, and maintaining rigorous personal hygiene standards.

Flynn Group prioritizes the health, safety, and well-being of all employees. The company is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, welcoming applications from individuals of all backgrounds and providing reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities throughout the application process. Those seeking a rewarding career with excellent benefits, flexible hours, and growth opportunities in the food service industry will find working with Flynn Applebee's to be a fulfilling experience.
