To launch the new value-driven menu, IHOP has teamed up with one of Canada’s greatest rock exports, LOVERBOY, to create a new version of their iconic song, “Working for the Weekend” – only now, everyone’s “Working for the Weekday.” The partnership comes to life via a bespoke music video, in which IHOP’s very own Syrup Caddies perform the re-recorded song and star in a remake of the original, classic music video. The video highlights IHOP’s new weekday House Faves menu items, including Buttermilk Pancakes, Eggs, Bacon, French Toast, and more.

“Working with IHOP to bring our song to life in a fresh, innovative way has been such a rewarding experience,” said Mike Reno, lead singer of LOVERBOY. “We have always loved going to IHOP and enjoying breakfast together as a band, so being able to have our work featured in the House Faves campaign is a dream come true.”

IHOP aims to be a place where families can visit throughout the week and enjoy a delicious meal during the big or little moments. From acing a test to scoring the game-winning basket, IHOP’s House Faves menu has something for everyone in the family to celebrate. That’s why the brand has also partnered with one of America’s favorite moms, Julie Bowen, to join the House Faves campaign. As someone who juggles many hats, Julie Bowen celebrates weekday moments at IHOP, where her family can sit down and enjoy a meal together.

“With over 70% of IHOP orders including a breakfast item, we are leaning into some of our most beloved breakfast favorites and having a good time doing so thanks to new brand partner Julie Bowen, plus LOVERBOY’s custom remake of their classic single, just for IHOP,” said Kieran Donahue, Chief Marketing Officer, at IHOP. “By leveraging a nostalgia-inducing ‘blast from the past’ to further drive home IHOP’s value proposition, we’re showing guests that everything we do, every decision we make, is for them.”

IHOP’s House Faves menu includes the following four items for just $6 each:

• Breakfast Faves Combo (2x2x2): Two of IHOP’s fluffy, world-famous buttermilk pancakes, two eggs, and two bacon strips or two pork sausage links.
• Ham & Cheese Omelette: A ham, jack & cheddar, and white cheese sauce omelette, served with 2 of IHOP’s fluffy, world-famous buttermilk pancakes.
• French Toast Breakfast: One slice of Classic Thick ‘N Fluffy French Toast, two bacon strips or two pork sausage links, and two eggs.
• House Scramble with Hash Brown: Eggs scrambled with chopped hickory-smoked bacon and jack & cheddar cheese. Served with crispy hash browns.

The brand is excited to introduce its new House Faves menu, driving home the current value needs of guests nationwide.
