Our Prosper Accelerators—Dianne Piñon, Agnes Choi, ARM, Lexi Redmond, M.S., and Deirdre Pickett—alongside Dine leaders Christie Wade Cook, Erika Enciso, and Lucy Lai, had an incredible time at the Prosper Forum in Florida! Christie, Dine’s VP of HR, also had a chance to share her insights on a panel about leadership, invisible differences, and how to make workplaces welcoming for all. The forum, known for its commitment to fostering inclusion, offered invaluable discussions and networking opportunities designed to advance leaders and organizations in the foodservice and hospitality industry. As a proud Founding Title Partner of The Prosper Company, Dine Brands is dedicated to elevating diverse talent in foodservice and hospitality. Here’s to continuing our journey towards a more inclusive and vibrant industry! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #embraceall #prosperforum2024 #dei

In March, Dine Brands proudly received the 2024 CIO 100 Award from Foundry for the success of IHOP’s AI-powered Menu Recommendation Engine! Last week, our IT team—Justin E.

It was a great opportunity for the team to accept their well-deserved award, explore emerging technologies, and connect with industry leaders. A huge thank you to the IHOP brand team, Dine IT, and everyone who contributed to this award-winning project! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #IT #award

“One of the things that I really like about working at Dine, and Dine IT specifically, is that we have a unique opportunity to leverage our enterprise scale to launch platforms across each of our brands.” At Dine Brands, Chris Padilla – VP of Product & Brand IT @ Dine Brands – is driving growth through innovation! From rolling out IHOP’s new POS system to enhancing technology across Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar and Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Chris and his team play an integral role in Dine’s Recipe for Growth and are paving the way for future innovations. And behind every successful tech implementation is the dedicated Franchise Technology Services team, working tirelessly to support our franchisees and empower our brands! Watch now to learn more about Chris and the work he and his team of tech leaders are doing to grow our brands. #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine  #recipeforgrowth #IT

Today, we released our Q2 2024 results. Despite industry-wide challenges, we saw solid performance with minimal impact on our bottom line, improved year-over-year cash flow, and healthy Dine-level margins. Thanks to our franchisees, restaurant teams, and team members around the globe – our brands continue to adapt, offering competitive pricing, generous portions, and exceptional experiences to our valued guests. Our strategy focuses on sustainable value creation and long-term guest satisfaction. Looking ahead, I am particularly excited about Applebee’s partnership with the NFL that will engage with guests in fun new ways, and IHOP’s sales of coffee and syrups in grocery stores across the country to keep us top of mind with our guests. Plus, Fuzzy’s and our international dual-brand restaurants are on a roll! Our asset-light model and iconic brands are a solid foundation from which to tackle current headwinds (this is a strategic advantage of the Dine platform!) – and allows us to further to connect with guests and grow our brands around the world. https://lnkd.in/eu4un44J Dine Brands Global | Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar | IHOP | Fuzzy's Taco Shop

Our interns rolled up their sleeves with Project Angel Food last week, helping prepare, serve, and package over 3,000 meals for the LA community as a part of our Embrace All Day initiative. 'Embrace All Day' is more than just a day away from work; it's a reflection of our values. We provide Paid Time Off for our team members to volunteer for causes they are passionate about or to observe days that hold cultural significance to them. This benefit underscores our belief that we are all strengthened by our differences and that each of us has the power to make a meaningful impact in our communities. Here’s to a day filled with teamwork and service! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #interns #embraceallday #service

Giving back and making a difference! Our SoulFood@Dine Team Member Resource Group went above and beyond by organizing a supply drive for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America in Pasadena and engaging directly with over 40 middle and high school students.
