Last week, our team members came together across our Restaurant Support Centers in Pasadena, Kansas City, and Dallas for an afternoon filled with gratitude, good food, and great company! Amidst our Thanksgiving celebrations, Dine LatinX and Indigenous Networking Collective (LINC) Team Member Resource Group (TMRG) also held a Native American Story Time event that brought tribal stories to life through gorgeous illustrations and the voice talents of our very own Dine LINC members. We’re grateful for these moments together and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #thanksgiving #nativeamericanheritagemonth

We’re proud to celebrate the impact our beloved brands have had on the communities they serve. To celebrate National Philanthropy Day, take a look at what Applebee’s, IHOP, and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop have done throughout 2024 to make a difference and support those in need: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar has been Doin' Good for over 40 years, donating millions and volunteering thousands of hours to communities nationwide. Proudly partnering with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, Applebee’s has raised $17M for pediatric cancer research, including $1.6M in 2024 alone. They’ve also served 11.7M free meals to veterans and active duty service members and invested nearly $1.2M in scholarships for Team Members and their families. During IHOP’s 2024 Month of Giving, they were proud to have raised over 1 million meals for families in need through their partnership with Feeding America. Together, they’re working to provide nutritious meals and resources to communities across the nation. Fuzzy's Taco Shop franchisees and guests raised nearly $34,000 for No Kid Hungry during a 20-day campaign, helping provide healthy meals to children across the country that are experiencing hunger. A special shout out to their Colorado shops for raising over $14,000! Here's to continuing the tradition of giving and making a positive impact, today and every day! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #nationalphilanthropyday #philanthropy

Soon guests in Texas and beyond will get to enjoy the best of both Applebee’s and IHOP under one roof. Our new dual-branded concept is all about providing more choice, more variety, and more value within one great restaurant experience.   We have 15 sites planned to open in the U.S., with our first location opening just outside of San Antonio in Seguin, TX early next year. We’ve seen great success with the concept internationally and can’t wait for guests to experience it stateside.   https://lnkd.in/g5pEYYEn Dine Brands Global | Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar | IHOP

Earlier this week we released our Q3 ’24 results and provided an update about what we are doing to strengthen our strategy and accelerate our growth. While today’s environment calls for promotions that deliver value, variety, great food and drinks, and an outstanding experience, it also requires refinement to keep up with evolving needs of our guests.   Our solid foundation, supported by our asset-lite model, is resilient and enables us to make the necessary adjustments in our business to drive long-term value for all of our stakeholders. Moving forward, we will work harder than ever to engage our guests, so they are excited to dine with us again and again.   https://lnkd.in/eg9eVZap
