As our comprehensive operations, menu,

of growth that drive the performance of

When it comes to growing our
businesses, we focus rst and foremost
on increasing average restaurant
volumes at both Applebee’s and IHOP
restaurants. Whether by promoting
“Kids Eat Free” to expand IHOP’s
dinner business, or increasing awareness
of Applebee’s as a late night destination,
we are tailoring our approach and
offerings to respond to guests’ needs
in order to maintain our market share
leadership positions and drive guest
trafc growth.
In particular, we are looking at growth
across all parts of the day as one of our
biggest opportunities to help Applebee’s
return to historical average restaurant
volume levels — and then exceed them.
We have experienced initial success with
initiatives designed to increase Applebee’s
business during the late night hours,
including local entertainment programs,
great tasting appetizers and enhanced
beverage offerings like the “SkinnyBeeTM
Margarita.” We are fortifying our appeal
at dinner with new and unique offerings
like “Sizzling Entrees,” “Great Tasting
and Under 550 Calories” and “Applebee’s
RealBurgers®.” And, we are expanding
our efforts to also grow our lunch day
part with new and compelling offerings.
At IHOP, we are continuing to grow
through new franchise development as
well. With franchisees opening 340
restaurants over the past ve years,
IHOP was the fth fastest-growing
full service restaurant chain in 2010.1
We are also pursuing other growth
opportunities for IHOP, such as
international expansion, product
licensing and the testing of alternative
building and service model prototypes.
It is all part of our strategy to expand the
IHOP guest experience to include new
and different touch points.
