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 by both building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, establishing itself as the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This robust foundation enabled the group to expand beyond Applebee's into other prominent brands, countries, and industries. Today, Flynn Group operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. As one of seven premier brands within Flynn Group, Applebee's benefits from the group's extensive experience and resources, helping maintain its position as a leading casual dining restaurant chain. Flynn Group itself has evolved into the world's largest franchise operator, with a diversified portfolio that 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 be the premier operator within each of these brands.

Applebee's Cooks enjoy competitive wages starting at $16 and going up to $21 per hour, with daily pay available in most states (excluding California).
