Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the following two decades, the company expanded through both building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, growing to become the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This strong foundation allowed Flynn Group to expand beyond Applebee's into other major restaurant brands, different countries, and even new industries. Currently, Flynn Group operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, showcasing their significant footprint in the casual dining restaurant sector.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands within the Flynn Group portfolio, which has evolved into the largest franchise operator worldwide. The company owns and manages a diverse collection of globally recognized brands including Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. Their overarching mission is to be the premier operator within each of these brands, a goal they aim to achieve by living core values centered on genuinely caring for people, playing like champions, and winning collectively as one team.
