IHOP

About the Company

Since Al and Jerry Lapin opened the first IHOP in 1958, our restaurants have been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events, and so much more. Over the last 65 years, we’ve grown into an American icon with more than 1,750 global locations. But one ingredient has remained constant across our menu – a smile.

We’re in the business of spreading joy, and our Team Members and Franchisees are a key ingredient in our recipe. We believe they are each one in a million – just like our Buttermilk Pancakes! Being part of the IHOP Team allows you to be something more than just a traditional employee. You help create smiles for the future. You bring a sense of belonging, togetherness and joy to our guests.

We believe everyday life has enough rules, but enjoying a delicious, comforting meal at one of our restaurants shouldn’t have any.

We’re more than our Buttermilk Short Stack!

In our hospitality-driven culture, every moment matters. Staying true to our mission of spreading more joy to more people, we are also committed to making a difference in the local communities where we do business. Since 2006, we’ve raised more than $30 million for our local charity partners through our annual National Pancake Day.

With a continued focus on what is most important to our guests – quality and value – our brand continues to evolve with craveable new menu items, irresistible promotions, brand partnerships, and digital transformations across the business.
