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, becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators. This robust foundation has enabled Flynn Group to expand beyond Applebee's, diversifying into other well-known brands, countries, and industries. Today, Flynn Group proudly owns and operates over 460 Applebee's locations across 24 states, demonstrating both remarkable growth and deep market penetration within the restaurant industry.

Flynn Group is renowned as one of the largest franchise operators globally, managing a diversified portfolio that includes iconic brands like Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness.

Within this supportive, dynamic environment, Flynn Group fosters growth opportunities while prioritizing the health, safety, and overall well-being of its employees.

The Applebee's brand under Flynn Group is one of seven premier brands in its portfolio and offers a vibrant and fun workplace with flexible schedules and substantial career growth opportunities.
