IHOP

Popular among people of all ages for serving up a plethora of pancake options all day long, the International House of Pancakes, also known as IHOP, is one of the most recognizable diners across the United States and the world. Those who frequent the popular restaurant chain can enjoy a short or tall stack of flapjacks almost any way they prefer. With menu features such as apple pie pancakes, cupcake pancakes and chocolate chocolate chip pancakes, there are no rules regarding how a pancake should be eaten. However, pancakes aren’t the only thing IHOP serves up. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

Although it might seem like pancakes are the only thing IHOP cares about, its company policies regarding excellence, inclusion and innovation make it an ideal place to work for employees of all backgrounds and franchisees.
