Denny's

Ensuring the humane treatment of cattle remains a priority for Denny’s. We continue to emphasize our purchase preference with suppliers who use polled breeding stock versus the practice of dehorning cattle.

Denny's supports the humane treatment of broilers in the supply chain. We are continually working with our suppliers to establish higher welfare outcomes for chicken, maintaining standards certified by PAACO and in partnership with the National Chicken Council.

In 2016, Denny’s pledged to source and serve 100% cage-free eggs in all U.S. restaurants by 2026. With the increasing availability of a cage-free egg supply, we are on target to hit our goal of 100% by 2026.

Denny's is proud to work with suppliers that meet or exceed industry animal care standards. We are phasing out the use of gestation crates for the purpose of housing pregnant sows in the U.S., aiming to source all pork from suppliers using group housing.

Denny’s guests have varied dietary preferences, and for decades, we’ve offered several plant-based items to meet our guests’ specific needs. In 2023, Denny's partnered with Dr Preager's to extend these offerings with a high-quality, meatless protein. We are exploring additional plant-based protein items that our guests can enjoy all day.

Since 2011, we have been using suppliers that practice the most humane slaughter method and have received recognition from leading animal welfare organizations for our commitment.

We believe our guests care about how their food is sourced. Denny's is proud to partner with suppliers who share our values of ensuring livestock are healthy and properly cared for.

Our vendor recruitment program is rigorous, requiring vendors to meet or exceed all food safety standards. One of our top priorities is working in partnership with our suppliers to promote responsible sourcing.
