At Thrive, we invite you to make a difference by being your best self. We’re a flourishing team of difference makers in more than 100 restaurants across these thriving brands. Applebee’s | HomeGrown | Carlos O’Kelly’s | Bakesale Treat Parlor We Believe We believe that everybody matters, wants to make a difference, and that the experience of work can enrich people and contribute to their flourishing in life. That belief is embodied in our invitation and lived out in our values and mindsets. Mindsets Standards and policy manuals are great for teaching and learning how systems and processes are supposed to work, but fall short in many areas of human care. That’s why we have shared Mindsets that give us the freedom and responsibility to lead and create desirable experiences in every interaction we have. Our Mindsets are: Focus on the Guest Experience, Create Advocates, Master the Fundamentals, and People are our Legacy. Using these mindsets helps us embrace, adapt and inform our decision making so we can deliver the highest level of care and hospitality to each other and our guests.
