IHOP unit growth stunted by permitting, construction delays

The pancake chain will push as many as 30 unit openings into next year but said its pipeline is still in good shape.

The VP of Culinary has introduced bowls, burritos, melts and more to position the chain as an all-day destination.

The average U.S. restaurant is open 6.4 fewer hours a week because of the inability to find workers, according to a study from Datassential.

The thicker, fluffier French toast debuts Monday, along with seven new all-day menu items.

The updated focus allows guests to build their own meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner any time of day.

Parent Dine Brands Global plans to move next year to Old Pasadena, Calif.

Unlike sister concept Applebee's, the pancake chain looked outside the organization for help developing Thrilled Cheese and Super Mega Dilla.

Customers will be able to earn "Pancoins" with every order and exchange them in the "Stack Market" for free food.

The bowls, sandwiches, salads and baked goods are designed for grab-and-go, but 60% of the business is dine-in.
