Description: DIN Dine Brands Global December 28, 2025

Dine Brands Global Inc. (NYSE:DIN) owns, franchises, and operates three restaurant concepts-Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar (casual dining), IHOP (family dining), and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop (fast-casual)-through four business segments: franchise operations, rental operations, financing operations, and company-owned restaurant operations. The firm licenses its brands to franchisees across the United States and internationally, while also maintaining a portfolio of company-run locations.

Key metrics from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show total revenue of roughly **$3.6 billion**, with franchise royalty and fee income contributing about **45 %** of that total, reflecting the high-margin nature of the franchise model. Same-store sales at company-owned Applebee’s and IHOP locations were flat to modestly down-trend, largely due to lingering inflation-driven discretionary spending pressure, whereas Fuzzy’s, which benefits from the fast-casual “value-plus-experience” trend, posted a **~6 %** comparable sales growth. The restaurant sector’s performance remains sensitive to labor cost inflation and consumer confidence, with the casual-dining segment historically lagging the fast-casual segment during economic slowdowns.
