IHOP
We operate IHOP and International House of Pancakes restaurants that serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a family-style setting. Our menu is built around signature pancakes, along with crepes, coffee, and a wide range of other meal items for everyday dine-in guests. Most IHOP restaurants are traditional full-service locations in free-standing buildings or commercial centers, and we also test smaller-format and co-branded restaurant concepts in select markets. We serve the general public and compete in the family dining and casual restaurant segments.
