Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's locations. Over the past twenty-plus years, the company has grown exponentially through a combination of building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators. Today, Flynn Group stands as the largest Applebee's franchisee worldwide, boasting a portfolio that includes over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. This impressive growth is a testament to Flynn Group's strategic vision and operational excellence in the restaurant franchise industry.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands under the Flynn Group umbrella. The company prides itself on operating an extensive and diversified portfolio of well-known and iconic restaurant brands, including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and even Planet Fitness. The central mission of Flynn Group is to be the premier operator within each brand segment. This mission is grounded in the company's core values: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One. These values foster a culture of teamwork, excellence, and mutual respect across all Flynn locations.

At Flynn Applebee's, employees experience a fun and dynamic work environment that encourages personal and professional growth.

The role of an Applebee's Cook is vital to delivering the exceptional dining experience customers expect.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have a commitment to making a meaningful impact. The job requires the ability to remain mobile during shifts of up to four hours, lift up to 50 pounds safely, and work comfortably in hot and sometimes damp environments. Personal protective measures, such as wearing face masks, gloves, and frequent handwashing, are essential to maintain health and safety standards.

Flynn Group places a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion. As an equal opportunity employer, it is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
