Denny's
Denny’s is a full-service, family-style restaurant brand that serves a wide variety of food in a casual dining setting. We offer moderately priced meals designed to appeal to a broad range of customers, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our restaurants operate with table service in most locations, and we also support online ordering for pickup, third-party delivery, and in-restaurant ordering through self-service devices. We also operate variations of the concept called The Den, which may use a more limited menu and counter service in standalone or nontraditional locations. In addition, we may offer virtual brands such as The Burger Den and The Melt Down for takeout or delivery using existing restaurant kitchens and equipment.
