Panera Assistant Manager- North Freeway- $23.50-26/HR- 4001015

Flynn Group, a leading name in the restaurant franchise industry, entered the Panera Bread system in 2015 by acquiring 47 cafes. Since that time, Flynn Group has experienced remarkable growth, more than tripling in size to become the second largest Panera franchisee worldwide. This expansion continues steadily through building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, illustrating the company’s strong position and ambitious future in the competitive food and beverage market. Flynn Panera operates within a decentralized business model where geographic areas are overseen by Market Leaders. Under these leaders, Area Directors are responsible for multiple units, managing the overall functions of the cafe locations within their territory. General Managers run individual cafe operations, supported by Assistant Managers and Team Managers who assist with departmental and everyday management responsibilities. The leadership team boasts extensive industry experience, with over 190 years combined in restaurant operations, and more than 60 years with Flynn Group alone. Established in 1999 by Greg Flynn, the Flynn Group has grown to become the largest franchise operator in the world, managing a diverse portfolio of world-famous brands in various dining and fitness sectors, including Applebee’s, Arby’s, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Planet Fitness.
