About Doherty Enterprises

At Doherty Enterprises, we believe great people are the heart of every great restaurant. Founded in 1985, and through dedication, community spirit, and a passion for hospitality, we’ve grown to become one of the largest franchisees in the country. Today, our Doherty family operates more than 160 restaurants across New York and New Jersey, representing some of the nation’s most recognized brands, including Applebee’s, Panera Bread, Chevys Fresh Mex, Qdoba, JINYA Ramen Bar, and Wendy’s, as well as two of our own concepts, The Shannon Rose Irish Pub, and Spuntino Wine Bar & Italian Tapas. While our business has grown, our mission has stayed the same: To be the Best Food Service Company in the Communities we Serve. We’re proud to be a family-owned company that recognizes potential, celebrates growth, and develops leaders from within. Whether you’re starting your first restaurant job or advancing your management career, you’ll find a company that invests in your future through hands-on training, mentorship, and meaningful career paths. At Doherty, we believe that when we take care of our people, they take care of our guests — and that’s what truly drives our success.
