“I fell in love with the values of Applebee’s and the ever-changing, fast-paced environment that to this day, makes me just as excited for each shift as I was on my first day of training more than 20 years ago. I began my hospitality career as a hostess, before advancing to server, food expo, and bartender – all of which was made possible through coaching from my management team. I am so proud to have been a part of nine new restaurant openings in my career in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, and West Virginia. Getting to be a part of the excitement and energy from the community when a new Applebee’s opens its doors, is truly something special. Over the years I’ve developed lifelong friendships - and even met my husband while training him on his third day as a server back in 2004! Friends who were Applebee’s colleagues stood by my side at my wedding, and I’ve had to the honor to do the same for them as well. My Applebee’s team supported me during both of my pregnancies and births of my children. It’s refreshing to have that level of support during life-changing events, and it’s something that I feel cannot be found in many environments.” – Lauren Ritenour, Golden Apple Honoree, Flynn Group Our Golden Apple Club recognizes the top one percent of General Managers throughout the United States.

“Hospitality is the authentic relationships we have with our guests and neighborhoods. Hospitality is making every guest feel welcome in our home. It’s about genuinely caring for people, families, and communities and providing some sort of relief, comfort, and enjoyment every time they walk through the door. Running a restaurant at a high level is only possible with an outstanding team, all working together toward unified goals. My goal is to set my teams up for success to get the most out of them to deliver a great guest experience, while developing them for the future. Throughout my 23-year career with Applebee’s, I’m most proud of the Team Members I have helped develop over the years. To see them grow and advance their careers is genuinely rewarding. Each day I walk into an Applebee’s I feel energized! I love how every day is different and brings new experiences to enjoy, challenges to conquer, and people to connect with.” – Bill Reed, Golden Apple Honoree, The Rose Group Our Golden Apple Club recognizes the top one percent of General Managers throughout the United States.
