Job Description
Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants in 1999. Over the past two decades, Flynn Group has grown exponentially by both building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This robust foundation has allowed the company to expand its footprint not only across brands but also internationally and across various industries. With over 460 Applebee's restaurants spread over 24 states, Flynn Group commands a significant presence in the casual dining sector.
Flynn Applebee's is one of seven prestigious brands operated by Flynn Group, which has evolved into the largest franchise operator globally. The Flynn Group's diversified portfolio includes iconic and world-class brands such as Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. The organization prides itself on being a premier operator within each brand it owns and operates, driven by a mission centered on core values like genuinely caring for people, playing like a champion, and winning as one cohesive unit.
At Applebee's, a role as a Cook offers much more than just a job. It presents a fun and dynamic work environment where employees can experience flexibility, growth, and a genuine work-life balance. Applebee's Cook positions blend these elements to transform a simple job into a rewarding career. Employees have the opportunity to work with an enthusiastic team while crafting delicious menu items that keep customers coming back. Communication skills and teamwork are essential in this fast-paced environment, where you will be challenged yet supported to perform at your best and enjoy the process.
Working at Applebee's under the Flynn Group umbrella means enjoying competitive wages and attractive benefits such as daily pay options (except in California), flexible schedules catering to personal needs, healthcare benefits for employees and their families, meal discounts, and clear career progression. This role suits individuals who are at least 18 years old, have strong communication abilities, and are committed to making a positive impact both in the kitchen and as a part of the wider team.
Physical endurance is important for this role. Cooks must be able to remain active and mobile for extended periods, frequently lift up to 50 pounds, and work comfortably in hot and humid environments. Additionally, the role demands adherence to health and safety protocols, including wearing protective equipment like gloves and masks, frequent handwashing with disinfecting soap, and the ability to use kitchen tools with dexterity.
Flynn Group prioritizes the health, safety, and well-being of its employees and fosters a culture of inclusion and diversity. Reasonable accommodations are provided for individuals with disabilities during the application and employment process. Applebee's within Flynn Group is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, encouraging applicants from all backgrounds and communities to join their premier team. This role is not just about cooking; it is about being part of a company that values its team members, supports growth, and opens doors for career development in the hospitality and restaurant industry.
