3) Benefits of dual-branded Restaurants (IHOP and Applebee’s)

• Investing in a dual-branded (IHOP & Applebee’s) restaurant is a fantastic opportunity.
• While IHOP brings the magic of the morning, Applebee’s is the hero of the night. From the first sip of coffee to the last bite of dessert, we’ve got every craving covered under one roof. 
• With a combined 100 years of hospitality experience and expertise, guests will feel welcome, satisfied, and eager to return.
• Dish out happiness from sunrise to sunset, as we blend the best of both worlds. We leverage the back of house, while maintaining the separate identifies of our brands, with distinct branding and zones.  Without increasing the footprint, we maximize revenues and optimize operating efficiencies (e.g., when there are more IHOP guests for breakfast, the Applebee’s seating area can accommodate guest overflow and vice versa at dinner).
