Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, has established itself as a dominant leader in the franchise restaurant industry. Starting with the acquisition of eight Applebee's locations, Flynn Group has expanded to become the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, operating over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. This impressive growth was achieved through a combination of building new stores and acquiring franchises from other operators. Flynn Group's success is built on a strong foundation of strategic growth, operational excellence, and a commitment to quality service. The company has since diversified its portfolio, expanding beyond Applebee's into multiple other well-known brands including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. This diversification enables Flynn Group to be a premier operator in several iconic, globally recognized brands across various segments in the food and fitness industries.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands within the Flynn Group umbrella. The company prides itself on a culture grounded in its core values: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One. These values guide every aspect of the employee experience and customer service philosophy. Known for providing a fun and supportive work environment, Flynn Applebee's offers great opportunities for career growth, flexible schedules, and a workplace culture that balances work-life harmony. The company's commitment to its employees is reflected in competitive wages that start at $12 per hour for Hosts and Server Assistants and can go up to $18 per hour, along with daily pay options (except California), healthcare benefits, meal discounts, and a clear path for career advancement.

The role of an Applebee's Host/Server Assistant is critical to delivering an exceptional guest experience.

This position requires a genuine commitment to customer service and teamwork, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and work in a fast-paced environment. Physical demands include mobility for extended periods, the ability to lift up to 25 pounds, and compliance with health and safety protocols such as wearing protective coverings and frequent handwashing throughout the shift.
