Our Business Responsibility Commitment

Food Safety & Quality

Food safety and quality are at the core of our brands. Within Dine Brands, we work closely with key stakeholders across the organization and vendor base to develop robust safety standards and procedures that are used within or benefit the restaurants and their products.

Providing safe and consistent food across the supply chain daily is the top priority across our brands. As such, suppliers and distributors must be held to the same high standards as each of the restaurants. Food safety and quality are critical to restaurant operations and the health and safety of team members and guests.

Our Experts on Animal Health & Welfare

We formed the Animal Health and Welfare Advisory Council to guide our approach to ethical food sourcing.
