Dine Brands Global, Inc. is a leading franchisor and operator of full‐service restaurants in the casual dining and breakfast segments. The company’s primary brands include IHOP®, known for its wide variety of breakfast offerings and pancakes, and Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, a casual dining concept featuring a range of American entrées, appetizers and cocktails. Through its franchise model, Dine Brands works with independent restaurant owners to develop, market and support both domestic and international locations.
The origins of Dine Brands Global date back to the founding of the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) in 1958 in California. Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar was established in 1980 in Georgia, and in 2007 IHOP Corporation acquired Applebee’s and later rebranded itself as DineEquity. In 2018, the company adopted the name Dine Brands Global to reflect its expanding international presence and diversified brand portfolio. Headquartered in Glendale, California, the company combines decades of restaurant industry experience with a focus on consistent guest service.
Today, Dine Brands supports thousands of franchised and company‐owned IHOP and Applebee’s restaurants in North America and across select international markets, including Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. The corporate team provides franchisees with marketing programs, operational training, site selection assistance and supply chain management. Digital initiatives, loyalty programs and off-premise dining options are continuously refined to meet evolving consumer preferences and to drive guest engagement.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer John Peyton, Dine Brands Global emphasizes brand innovation, franchisee collaboration and scalable growth opportunities. The company’s strategic priorities include expanding its global footprint, enhancing digital ordering channels and delivering consistent dining experiences that reinforce the distinctive identities of both the IHOP and Applebee’s brands.
