Methods Of Starting An Ihop Franchise

By George Dodson


We all like to go out and eat. It is the food, service and atmosphere that make a restaurant our favorite. The prices charged are mostly fine and the special things make our dining a wonderful experience.

There are a lot of restaurants and eateries that you always like to visit. It entirely depends on you to choose the place you want to visit. Some restaurants are specially meant for dining purposes. Some restaurants only serve lunch. Some have been in business for a long time. Others are upstarts.

IHOP is a popular eating joint. The first outlet of IHOP was opened in California in the year 1958. The parent company of IHOP, DineEquity Inc has outlets in 49 states, Mexico and Canada. It is a popular eating joint. It offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

How to start an IHOP franchise?

You need to have at least 1.5 million which is close to $500,000 to start a franchise. In order to get approved, you must have some basic business experience and restaurant experience as well. The company doesn?t assist you to finance your franchise. You can consult a bank if you don?t have enough money.

Once you are approved, you will be brought to the main office for training while the store is still in construction. The outlet is constructed following strict guidelines and other requirements. The place should accommodate 185 people. The area population should be between 25,000 to 50,000. The size of the lot should be 40,000 to 50,000 square feet. This allows for enough parking space for your customers.

Opening an IHOP franchise will be nice for people who have experience in business. You will get the necessary training if you meet all the requirements. You will get help from the chain in the areas of food and training. You will have to hire the employees on your own. Candidates should be interviewed by you.
