Since then, the company has significantly expanded, more than tripling in size to become the second largest Panera franchisee globally. Flynn Group continues its impressive growth trajectory by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, solidifying its strong presence in the restaurant industry. As a diversified restaurant operator, Flynn Group owns and manages a portfolio of iconic brands, including Applebee's, Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness. Founded in 1999 by Greg Flynn, the company has evolved into the largest franchise operator worldwide, dedicated to premier brand operation and driven by core values: Care Genuinely for People, Play like a Champion, and Win as One. Flynn Panera operates under a decentralized business model where each geographic region is led by a Market Leader. Area Directors, who manage multiple units, oversee groups of cafes and report to these Market Leaders. General Managers, reporting to Area Directors, serve as chief managers responsible for running individual clinics, while Assistant Managers support daily management and departmental operations. Team Managers complete the leadership team, ensuring quality performance across cafes.

This full-time position offers an hourly pay range between $23.50 - $25.00 plus monthly profit sharing and five hours of weekly overtime at 1.5 times base pay. Flynn Panera provides a comprehensive employee benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance starting after one month of employment, 401(k) with company matching, paid vacation, meal discounts, competitive wages, and development opportunities. Managers at Flynn Panera are expected to uphold the highest standards of cleanliness, sanitation, food quality, safety, and overall facility management to ensure a welcoming atmosphere for both guests and staff. The managerial duties include strategic and daily operational responsibilities such as ordering, scheduling, labor and budget management, marketing, bakery operations, and catering.
