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, it has grown exponentially by both building new stores and acquiring franchise operators, evolving into the largest Applebee's franchisee worldwide. This solid foundational growth enabled Flynn Group to diversify its portfolio beyond Applebee's, advancing into other brands, countries, and industries. Today, the Flynn Group owns and manages over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands under the Flynn Group umbrella, which has established itself as the largest franchise operator globally. The Group proudly operates a broad and diversified portfolio of well-known restaurant brands, including Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and fitness brand Planet Fitness. Guided by core values such as Caring Genuinely for People, Playing like a Champion, and Winning as One, the Flynn Group aims to be the leading operator within each of these brands.

Within this exciting context, the role of an Applebee's Server is both dynamic and rewarding. As the guests' first and last point of contact, servers are vital representatives of the brand and play a significant role in shaping the overall dining experience. This opportunity offers a lively and enjoyable work environment with a flexible schedule that can fit around personal commitments. The server position at Applebee's blends fun, flexibility, and growth opportunities into what could become a fulfilling career rather than just a job.

Successful candidates will be responsible for delivering outstanding customer service — anticipating guest needs, making recommendations, and ensuring the satisfaction of all diners. This role requires an enthusiastic, friendly attitude and strong communication skills. Applebee’s values employees who are committed to making an impact and contributing to a welcoming, team-driven atmosphere. The position offers competitive wages starting at minimum wage and can go up to $16.28 per hour plus tips. Additionally, employees can benefit from daily pay (availability varies by state), healthcare benefits, meal discounts, paid sick leave, and a well-defined career advancement path.

Physical stamina is important as servers must be able to stay on their feet for lengthy periods, lift up to 25 pounds regularly, and frequently carry plates, glasses, and baskets throughout their shift. Furthermore, safety and hygiene are prioritized with requirements to wear protective coverings, frequently wash hands, and work with disinfectant cleaning supplies.

The Flynn Group is committed to providing an inclusive and accommodating environment. As an equal opportunity employer, Flynn Group welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and provides accommodations during the application process to ensure access for people with disabilities. Prospective employees can also review the Flynn Group's Workplace Privacy Notice on their official website.
