The TenderFix delivery-only menu is prepared in IHOP® kitchens, in nearly 1,000 locations nationwide.

“We had a lot of fun creating this menu together with Noah, and think customers will love these delicious chicken and plant-based sandwiches and tenders,” said Alex Canter, CEO and founder of Nextbite. “TenderFix menu items are the perfect intersection of craveability and functionality, delivering food that hungry customers want with America’s number one protein–chicken.”

TenderFix gives fans their chicken fix by day or even late at night, all week long.

“This is a great menu, and we are excited to be part of offering a selection of irresistible sliders on King’s Hawaiian bread,” said Chad Donvito, President at King’s Hawaiian. “This virtual concept gives slider lovers a flexible, convenient way to enjoy great food on their own schedule. Best of all, TenderFix™ can be enjoyed by consumers every day of the week, including Slider Sunday.”
