Panera Restaurant Retail Team Member- College Hill- $12/HR + tips- 4004041

Flynn Group entered the Panera Bread system in 2015 by acquiring 47 cafes, marking the beginning of what has become one of the most successful expansions in the Panera franchise network. Since that initial acquisition, Flynn Group has more than tripled its size, establishing itself as the 2nd largest Panera franchisee in the world. This remarkable growth is driven not only by acquiring new franchise operators but also by building brand-new stores from the ground up. The company proudly operates within a decentralized business model where each geographic area is led by a Market Leader who oversees multiple area directors. These Area Directors are responsible for the multifunctional operations across their cafes, managing General Managers who serve as the chief leaders of individual cafes. The management team down to the assistant managers and team managers ensures a collaborative and dynamic approach towards daily cafe operations.

Flynn Group itself is a well-established franchise operator founded by Greg Flynn in 1999. It has since become the largest franchise operator worldwide, owning and managing an impressive portfolio of iconic brands including Applebee’s, Arby’s, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Planet Fitness. Flynn Group’s mission centers around becoming the premier operator of each brand by living its core values: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One.
