Denny’s Franchisee Association

Denny’s Franchisee Association

EVERYONE KNOWS DENNY’S – WE’RE ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP BRANDS. WE’RE A WORLD LEADER IN THE FOOD SERVICE BUSINESS AND WE DIDN’T GET HERE BY ACCIDENT.

Denny’s, the largest full-service family restaurant chain in the United States, opened its first restaurant in the U.S. in 1953. At year-end 2000, there were 1,822 Denny’s restaurants: 736 were owned and operated by the ‘Denny’s Corporate’, 1,067 by franchisees and 19 were operated under licensing agreements. Denny’s ended 2000 with total system-wide sales of $2.23 billion. – making Denny’s one of the largest food service companies in America.

As Denny’s Franchisees, we are crucial to Denny’s success; we deliver the brands value directly to the customer. As one of only a handful of brands that command instant recognition in virtually every part of the nation, a half-a-million customers in this country place their trust in Denny’s every day – trusting us to provide them with food of a high standard, quick service and value for the money.

Denny’s might be a universal business, but it is made up of more than 50,000 individuals, every one of whom brings their own unique skills and qualities to the team. By encouraging our people to shape the future of our organization through ambition and ideas, we have created a truly worldwide story of personal success.

There’s more to managing a restaurant than most would think. It’s not only serving food and drinks to customers or training our teams to deliver great service or learning to run our restaurants profitably. It’s also about becoming a respected contributor to our community and playing our part in marketing a world-leading brand.

Franchising is not for everyone though – to operate a Denny’s franchisee you have to make a personal commitment to run the business, day in, day out, for years. It’s no surprise then that the job is only for those individuals with a demonstrated ability to lead and manage people, good common business sense, and a track record of success in whatever they are doing. Becoming a Denny’s franchisee is not a license to print money, but the rewards are undoubtedly there for the earning.
