IHOP

IHOP (International House of Pancakes) is an American multinational pancake house/diner-style table service restaurant chain that specializes in breakfast foods. It is owned by Dine Brands Global—a company formed after IHOP's purchase of Applebee's, with 99% of the restaurants run by independent franchisees.

History[edit | edit source]

IHOP was founded in 1958 by Jerry Lapin, Al Lapin, and Albert Kallis with the help of Sherwood Rosenberg and William Kaye. The first restaurant was located in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, California. The name 'IHOP' was introduced in 1973 to market the chain's wider menu.

Menu[edit | edit source]

While IHOP's focus is on breakfast foods such as pancakes, French toast, and omelettes, it also offers a menu of lunch and dinner items. The company has more than 1,650 locations in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

Marketing and promotions[edit | edit source]

IHOP is known for its marketing and promotional tactics. In 2018, IHOP temporarily changed its name to IHOb (International House of Burgers) to promote its new line of burgers.
