Dine Brands Global

At the 2025 Restaurant Leadership Conference, Dine Brands brought bold ideas and industry insights to the forefront! From the mainstage, IHOP President Lawrence Kim took the spotlight during the C-Suite in the Hot Seat session, highlighting the power of the breakfast daypart and the business strategy behind it. VPs of Consumer Insights & Business Analytics Ryan Bartell (IHOP) and Jill Marchick (Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar) joined Mastercard to share how Dine Brands leverages data tools to drive traffic, support franchisees, and deliver value across our brands. And Chef Shannon Johnson, Applebee’s VP of Culinary, joined a dynamic panel to explore how evolving menu strategies can unlock profitability and respond to today’s dining trends. Thank you to our leaders for representing Dine Brands and helping shape the future of the restaurant industry! #dinebrands #dinetogether #lifeatdine #RLC2025
