Host

Job descriptions:

Since 1958 IHOP has been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events and more. No matter what menu items they order, there's one ingredient that's always constant - a smile. We've seen millions of smiles over the years in our restaurants, and now shared in photos across our social properties. In fact, smiles are so much a part of our culture that we changed our logo to include one. This is just one of the many fun and exciting changes you can expect from IHOP. Because we know the shortest distance between two people is a smile. A qualified applicant believes in showing up to work on time, well groomed with a clean uniform and ready to work. Come join us!
