The first-ever Applebee’s restaurant in this nation will hire 150 Bahamians ahead of its November 2024 opening at Fusion Superplex, its local franchisee announced yesterday.

Caribbean Dining, which also holds the IHOP franchise for The Bahamas, said it will recruit staff for all front-of-house and back-of-house positions - from servers to hosts and cooks - at a job fair which will be held at The Department of Labour’s Carmichael Road offices on October 21-22 from 9am to 3pm.

“We are ecstatic about the opportunity to employ hundreds of Bahamians at Applebee’s. Our commitment to invest in the Bahamian economy stands true as we continue to join forces with the best of the best for a prosperous future,” said Caribbean Dining in a statement. 

Besides dining at the restaurant, Fusion Superplex guests will also be able to enjoy Applebee’s food and beverage services in the VIP theatres. Interested persons can email hr@caribbeandining.com for more information.

And, after opening its first IHOP location at the Mall at Marathon in early April 2023, Caribbean Dining said it plans to open its second location on Carmichael Road in December 2024 prior to Christmas.
