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, the company has experienced significant growth by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, ultimately becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This robust foundation enabled Flynn Group to expand beyond Applebee's, entering new brands, countries, and industries. Today, Flynn Group operates more than 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, highlighting its substantial presence in the casual dining sector.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands under the Flynn Group umbrella, which has evolved into the largest franchise operator globally. The company manages a diversified portfolio of iconic, world-class restaurants spanning various segments. These include not only Applebee's but also other well-known brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. Flynn Group's core mission is to be the premier operator within each of these brands, guided by core values emphasizing genuine care for people, teamwork, competitive spirit, and collective success.

The role of Dishwasher / General Utility at Applebee's offers a unique blend of fun, flexibility, and growth within a supportive environment.

Flynn Applebee's values work-life balance and offers competitive wages starting at minimum wage and up to $21 per hour plus tips, alongside attractive benefits like healthcare coverage, flexible schedules, meal discounts, and paid sick leave. Daily pay options are available in most locations (excluding California), supporting employee financial stability.

Safety and well-being are top priorities at Flynn Group, with adherence to proper workplace safety measures, personal protective equipment usage, and compliance with health protocols throughout the work shift. This commitment extends to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce with reasonable accommodations provided to support all employees' success.

By joining Flynn Applebee's, you become part of a team that values your hard work, encourages your growth, and offers a rewarding career path.
