Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey in 1999 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, becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This robust foundation has enabled Flynn Group to expand its reach into other brands, countries, and industries, marking its presence as a leader in the franchise restaurant sector. Today, Flynn Group operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, showcasing not only its vast scale but also its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands under the Flynn Group umbrella. The group itself has grown to become the largest franchise operator globally, managing a diversified portfolio of restaurants that includes iconic brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and even Planet Fitness. This diversity across segments demonstrates Flynn Group's strategic approach to growth and adaptation in the competitive food and fitness industries. The company’s mission is clear: to be the premier operator within each brand it owns. This ambition is supported by core values that emphasize genuine care for people, a champion's mindset, and teamwork under the philosophy of 'Win as One.' These principles guide the company’s daily operations and long-term strategies, fostering an inclusive and dynamic work culture.
