About IHOP
Since Al and Jerry Lapin opened the first IHOP in 1958, our restaurants have been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events, and so much more. Over the last 65 years, we’ve grown into an American icon with more than 1,750 global locations. But one ingredient has remained constant across our menu – a smile.


We’re in the business of spreading joy, and our Team Members and Franchisees are a key ingredient in our recipe. We believe they are each one in a million – just like our Buttermilk Pancakes! Being part of the IHOP Team allows you to be something more than just a traditional employee. You help create smiles for the future. You bring a sense of belonging, togetherness and joy to our guests.


We believe everyday life has enough rules, but enjoying a delicious, comforting meal at one of our restaurants shouldn’t have any.


We’re more than our Buttermilk Short Stack!


In our hospitality-driven culture, every moment matters. Staying true to our mission of spreading more joy to more people, we are also committed to making a difference in the local communities where we do business. Since 2006, we’ve raised more than $30 million for our local charity partners through our annual National Pancake Day.


With a continued focus on what is most important to our guests – quality and value – our brand continues to evolve with craveable new menu items, irresistible promotions, brand partnerships, and digital transformations across the business.
Come Pancake with Us!

Feeling IHOPPY about joining our pancake family? We spread joy every day, and you can too! 


Whether your desire is to work in a restaurant or to support our Franchisees through a position at our Restaurant Support Center, IHOP holds great opportunity for you. And joining our team comes with a big stack of values – growth and development opportunities, flexible schedules, and an atmosphere where you can build lifelong friendships and memories with your Team.


If your interest is in a restaurant position, you'll want to contact one of the independent business owners of these locations in the area you are seeking employment.  


If you wish to support our franchisees on a national level, opportunities exist in Operations, Marketing, Development, Training, Human Resources, Communications and Legal at our Restaurant Support Centers in Los Angeles and Kansas City or in one of our field support positions. 

Our Mission, Vision & Values

Our vision and values are the core of everything we do, and we’ve found that Team Members who embrace and support these have the greatest opportunity for success at IHOP. 


IHOP’s mission is to spread more joy to more guests, every day. Through research, we found that our guests feel a sense of belonging, togetherness and joy when they dine at IHOP or eat IHOP on the go. We aim to make every guest meal at IHOP feel as comfortable and familiar as dining around their own kitchen table. 


At IHOP we’re masters of the griddle, carefully crafting our menu and each item we create. We ensure that our guests leave with a joyful experience each time they interact with us, by making every moment matter. Our teams go the extra mile to make every meal, experience and interaction memorable. Most importantly, we lead with a joyful attitude to share the positive energy with all of our guests and serve up smiles every day. 


For more than 65 years, IHOP has been a leader, innovator and expert in all things breakfast, lunch and dinner. As our logo suggests, we hope that the IHOP experience brings a smile to our guests’ faces. We strive to ensure that every trip to an IHOP is a memorable one, anchored by delicious food that’s shared with great company.
