We take pride in having a friendly, welcoming, neighborhood environment. Applebee's continues to set the standards for best practices in the restaurant industry. People Report recently awarded Applebee's the Heart of the Workplace Award, Top Performer in Management Retention Award, Excellence in Retention Award, and Catalyst Award. Forbes named Applebee's One of America's Best Managed Companies, and Restaurant Hospitality Magazine named Applebee's Chain of the Year. We are proud of these accomplishments and believe when thousands of people embrace their responsibility to our neighborhoods, the results can be astounding. Since our beginning, we have recognized our responsibility to operate with ethical business practices and to be a force for social good. In short, Applebee's and its franchisees strives to make a positive impact in the neighborhoods they serve; we believe we have a responsibility to do so.
