IHOP's Breakfast Family Feast Creates an At-Home Buffet
Laura McQuarrie — April 17, 2020 — Lifestyle
IHOP is introducing the Breakfast Family Feast as an at-home buffet experience that can easily be ordered during this stay-at-home period. The large assortment of breakfast foods includes multiple servings of scrambled eggs, hash browns, strips of hickory-smoked bacon and pork sausage links, which are packed in containers that can easily be delivered and set out on a breakfast counter. The Breakfast Family Feast also comes with a customer's choice of either a stack of buttermilk pancakes, Belgian Waffle triangles or French toast.
Recognizing that people are looking for easy ways to feed the whole family, restaurants like IHOP and others are scaling up their takeaway offerings, specifically to support households with large numbers of people who need to be fed at all hours of the day.
