Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, embarked on its journey in 1999 by acquiring eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the past two decades, the company has experienced significant growth through the strategic opening of new stores and acquiring other franchise operators. This expansion solidified Flynn Group's position as the largest Applebee's franchise operator globally. With an impressive portfolio exceeding 460 Applebee's restaurants spanning 24 states, Flynn Group has firmly established its reputation in the restaurant industry.

As one of the seven premier brands under the Flynn Group umbrella, Flynn Applebee's represents a vital component of this expansive enterprise. Flynn Group is recognized as the largest franchise operator worldwide, managing a diverse and expansive portfolio of renowned restaurant brands, including Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and the fitness chain Planet Fitness. This diversity underscores the organization's commitment to leadership across multiple segments and markets.

Flynn Group's mission centers on becoming the premier operator within each of these respected brands, underpinned by core values such as genuinely caring for people, playing like champions, and succeeding as one unified team. These values shape the company culture and foster an environment focused on employee well-being and collaborative success.

The role of Dishwasher / General Utility at Flynn Applebee's offers more than just a job—it presents an opportunity for career growth in an engaging and supportive setting. Employees in this role are integral to maintaining a clean and efficient back-of-house operation, ensuring the kitchen environment supports consistent food quality and service performance. This position requires effective communication skills, teamwork, and the ability to thrive under the fast-paced demands typical of a busy restaurant kitchen.

Flynn Applebee's emphasizes work-life balance by providing flexible work schedules, appealing benefits, and a culture that values health, future security, family, and overall happiness. Starting wages for dishwashers range from minimum wage up to $21 per hour, supplemented by tip-outs, making the compensation both competitive and rewarding. Benefits include healthcare coverage, meal discounts, paid sick leave, and the availability of Daily Pay (except in California), which enhances financial flexibility for team members.

Physically, this role requires stamina and the ability to perform tasks such as standing for extended periods, lifting up to 50 pounds safely, and working in hot and sometimes damp environments. Attention to hygiene and safety practices—wearing protective gear, frequent hand washing, and handling cleaning disinfectants—are essential to maintaining a safe workplace.

Flynn Group is deeply committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. It ensures reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities throughout the application and employment processes, fostering a workplace where all employees can thrive regardless of background or circumstance. Prospective employees are encouraged to engage with the company, not only for the job itself but also for the opportunity to become part of a premier team dedicated to growth, excellence, and shared success across some of the most beloved brands in the industry.
