Job Description

Flynn Group, a highly influential player in the restaurant franchise sector, was founded by Greg Flynn in 1999 with the purchase of eight Applebee's locations. Since then, it has grown significantly over two decades through new store development and acquisitions of other franchisees, positioning itself as the world's largest Applebee's franchisee. With more than 460 Applebee's restaurants spread across 24 states, Flynn Group has established a robust foundation that enabled it to diversify into new brands, industries, and countries. The company’s reach now extends to well-known brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness, making it one of the largest franchise operators globally.

As a premier operator, Flynn Group is committed to excellence in every brand it manages, focusing on its core values: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One. This value system not only shapes the company culture but also drives its mission to be the top operator in each of its brands. With the Flynn Applebee's brand being a key component of this expansive portfolio, the company offers an engaging working environment where employees are valued and encouraged to grow.

Additionally, the position offers comprehensive healthcare benefits, meal discounts, paid sick leave, and opportunities for advancement within one of the world's largest franchise operators.

In this role, cooks play a critical part in preparing Apple's delicious menu items, maintaining high-quality standards, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Communication skills, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence are essential. Physical demands include standing for long periods, lifting weights up to 50 pounds, and working in hot environments, requiring resilience and stamina. Safety and hygiene are prioritized, with requirements to wear protective gear and maintain cleanliness standards.
