Job Description

Flynn Group, established by Greg Flynn, embarked on its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over two decades, the company has expanded its footprint by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, growing to become the largest Applebee's franchisee worldwide. This strong foundation has empowered Flynn Group to branch out into additional brands, territories, and industries. Presently, Flynn operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, demonstrating its substantial presence in the food service industry.

Flynn Applebee's is one of seven flagship brands under the Flynn Group umbrella, which has evolved into the largest franchise operator globally. The company manages and operates a diverse range of restaurants from renowned, world-class brands spanning various market segments, including Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. Committed to excellence, Flynn Group's core mission is to be the premier operator within each affiliated brand. This is pursued by upholding core values that foster a positive, winning culture: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One.

The role of Server at Applebee's offers a dynamic and rewarding work environment centered on providing exceptional customer experiences. Servers are the first and last impression guests have of the restaurant, requiring individuals who are not only friendly and approachable but also adept at making menu recommendations and anticipating guest needs. Being a server at Applebee's is a career that blends fun, flexibility, and growth opportunities, offering employees a supportive balance between their professional and personal lives.

As an Applebee's Server, candidates must be at least 18 years old and possess strong communication skills to effectively engage with guests and team members. This position demands energy, empathy, and a readiness to contribute to a team-oriented atmosphere. Flynn Group offers competitive wages starting at minimum wage with the opportunity to earn tips, contributing to total compensation. Employees benefit from daily pay options (except in California), healthcare plans, meal discounts, paid sick leave, and flexible work schedules designed to accommodate diverse lifestyles.

Physically, the role requires stamina due to long hours of well-paced activity, including frequent standing, reaching, bending, stooping, and lifting up to 25 pounds. Servers routinely transport plates, glasses, and baskets throughout their shift, making physical fitness and endurance important. Health and safety remain top priorities for Flynn Group, with requirements for protective gear such as hand coverings and face masks, frequent hand washing, and compliance with disinfecting procedures to ensure a safe working environment.

Flynn Group is dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity employment. The company provides reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities throughout the hiring process, underscoring its commitment to an equitable workplace. By joining the Flynn Applebee's team as a Server, candidates embrace an opportunity to grow within a leading franchise operator known for its supportive culture, attractive benefits, and career advancement potential.
