Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the last two decades, Flynn Group has grown significantly by establishing new locations and acquiring other franchise operators to ultimately become the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. Today, the company operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, reinforcing its position as a leader in the casual dining industry. This robust foundation has enabled Flynn Group to expand beyond Applebee's into several other well-known brands and industries, making it the largest franchise operator globally.

Flynn Group's diversified portfolio includes notable brands such as Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness, alongside Applebee's. The company’s primary mission is to be the premier operator within each of these distinct brands by upholding core values centered on genuine care for people, striving for championship-level performance, and fostering teamwork to achieve collective success. By prioritizing these values, Flynn Group maintains a strong and dedicated workforce committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences.

At Applebee's, a brand under the Flynn Group umbrella, the focus is on creating a fun, engaging, and flexible work environment that supports both personal and professional growth. The company recognizes that a successful career is more than just a job; it’s about finding balance and opportunities for advancement while offering rewarding benefits to support employees’ health, future, and overall happiness. Employees enjoy competitive wages, access to healthcare benefits, flexible scheduling, meal discounts, and a clear career path within one of the world's largest franchise operators.

The role of an Applebee's Server at Flynn Group is vital as servers represent the guests' first and last impression during their visit. This position requires a friendly demeanor, the ability to make thoughtful recommendations, and attentiveness to guests' needs to ensure a memorable dining experience. Servers must communicate effectively and show commitment to making a positive impact in every interaction. Beyond interpersonal skills, the role demands physical stamina to manage busy service times, including moving plates, glasses, and baskets repeatedly throughout an entire shift.

Flynn Group also places great emphasis on health and safety standards in the workplace. Servers must be able to safely perform tasks that include reaching, bending, lifting up to 25 pounds, and maintaining sanitization protocols such as frequent hand washing and wearing protective gear as necessary. The company is dedicated to protecting the well-being of its employees and fostering an inclusive work environment. Flynn Group is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and providing accommodations for individuals with disabilities during the application and employment process.

Compensation for Applebee's servers starts at minimum wage with the potential to earn tips, and competitive wages are supported by comprehensive benefits including healthcare, paid sick leave, flexible work schedules, and meal discounts.
