Dine Brands Global, Inc. (DIN) is a multi-brand restaurant operator that owns, franchises, and operates restaurants in the United States and internationally through three segments: Franchise, Company-owned restaurants, and Rental. Its portfolio consists of three distinct concepts spanning different restaurant industry categories: Applebees Neighborhood Grill + Bar in casual dining, IHOP in family dining, and Fuzzys Taco Shop in fast-casual dining. The company generates most of its revenue from franchising its brands to franchisees rather than directly operating restaurant locations.
Formerly known as DineEquity, the company was founded in 1958 and rebranded to Dine Brands Global, Inc. in February 2018. Applebees and IHOP serve as the two anchor brands, with Fuzzys Taco Shop representing a more recent expansion into the fast-casual segment, which is one of the faster-growing categories within the broader U.S. restaurant industry. The company is headquartered in Pasadena, California.
- Applebees and IHOP same-store sales drive franchise royalties
