The collaboration adds two new brands and expands to 1700 digital storefronts, in locations across the country LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC), the platform for adding revenue to restaurants, is thrilled to expand its collaboration with IHOP, as a provider of virtual brands for the iconic restaurant chain. This expansion allows three of VDC's top brands to be available for delivery from IHOP restaurants nationwide, attracting new and existing guests. The collaboration introduces two new brands, NASCAR Refuel Tenders & Burgers, developed in collaboration with the popular American auto racing company, NASCAR, and MLB Ballpark Bites Presented by Mastercard, created in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), and expands on the popular virtual brand, Pardon My Cheesesteak, one of VDC's most successful brands to date. Each virtual brand offers its own lineup of mouthwatering, freshly made menu items, from tasty Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks and loaded fries to modern takes on concession stand favorites found at NASCAR and MLB events. These virtual dining brands are now available for delivery from various IHOP locations across the country, with plans for additional locations through the remainder of 2024. "We are thrilled to join forces with IHOP, as this presents an incredible opportunity to expand VDC's presence and serve our brands to new guests across the country," said VDC Co-Founder, Robbie Earl. "This embodies our commitment to delivering exceptional food and experiences across the country with top restaurant chains." Demonstrating the powerful impact of this relationship, VDC and IHOP have successfully secured placement of the three brands in more than 1,000 IHOP restaurants nationwide. As of Q1 2024, Pardon My Cheesesteak is being served at over 900 IHOP locations, while NASCAR Refuel Tender & Burgers are currently served in over 400 locations, with an additional 130 locations slated for the near future. Looking ahead, VDC and IHOP are committed to further innovation. "Our off-premise channels continue to deliver incremental sales and profits to our franchisees and the IHOP brand.

"These new brands are relevant for today's consumer and perfect for our existing equipment and capabilities in our restaurants nationwide."
