Value proposition

67 years – that is a long time to smile. But at IHOP, we have been smiling and serving joy one plate at a time ever since Al and Jerry Lapin opened the first International House of Pancakes in Toluca Lake, California in 1958. It is even more important today, amid our chaotic and busy world, for our guests to receive a friendly greeting, great food, and time well-spent with those they care about.

Our founders never dreamed decades later the family restaurant they started would become the American icon it is today. The home of all things breakfast and everything delicious, we offer made-to-order breakfast options and a wide selection of lunch and dinner items, including Hand Crafted Melts, Ultimate Steakburgers and more. Our team members and restaurants create a sense of belonging, togetherness and joy for our guests as they connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, or grab a bite before or after sporting events. No matter what the reason or time of day, we are ready to serve up a smile and deliver some joy.

Want to help us serve that joy to our customers and communities? With more than 1,800 IHOP restaurants around the world and counting, we’re always looking for new franchisees and team members to come pancake with us!
