What Dine Brands Global, Inc. does
In the company’s own words
Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) operates as a restaurant company that owns and franchises three distinct dining concepts across different market segments. The company's website is www.dinebrands.com.
The company's primary business involves franchising and operating restaurants under three brands: International House of Pancakes (IHOP), Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar, and Fuzzy's Taco Shop. IHOP competes in the full-service family dining category and is known for its pancakes and breakfast offerings. Applebee's operates in the full-service casual dining segment, offering American fare and beverages. Fuzzy's Taco Shop represents the company's fast-casual dining concept, featuring Mexican-inspired cuisine and cocktails.
As of December 28, 2025, Dine Brands Global operates 3,509 restaurants across all brands, with the substantial majority owned and operated by independent franchisees. The company maintains 1,812 IHOP franchised restaurants, 1,520 Applebee's franchised restaurants, and 105 Fuzzy's franchised restaurants. Additionally, the company owns 12 IHOP restaurants, 59 Applebee's restaurants, and one Fuzzy's restaurant. The company also generates rental revenues from 521 IHOP franchised restaurants and one Applebee's franchised restaurant under lease arrangements.
The company operates through three reportable business segments: Franchise, Company-owned restaurants, and Rental. The Franchise segment generates revenues primarily from royalties and advertising fees, representing approximately 74 percent of total revenues when combined with IHOP and Applebee's operations. The remaining 26 percent derives from Company-owned and Rental segments. International operations span 20 countries and two U.S. territories, though international revenues represent less than 2 percent of consolidated revenues.
Dine Brands Global employs approximately 92 percent hourly workers at company-owned restaurants, with both full-time and part-time positions. The company maintains no collective bargaining agreements and reports good employee relations. The company's strategic priorities focus on accelerating profitable growth through brand innovation, including dual-branded IHOP and Applebee's restaurants, technology investments in online ordering and delivery platforms, and efficient capital deployment to maximize shareholder value.
