Days of inventory on hand (DOH) is not provided in the table, making it difficult to assess the efficiency of inventory management for Dine Brands Global Inc. However, based on the activity ratios available, we can analyze the company's performance.

Days of sales outstanding (DSO) has generally been trending downwards over the past five years, indicating that the company is collecting its accounts receivable more quickly. This is a positive trend as it suggests efficient credit management and a potential improvement in cash flow.

On the other hand, the number of days of payables has been increasing steadily over the years, indicating that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers. While this could be beneficial in terms of cash flow management, it may also signal strained relationships with suppliers if payment terms are extended too far.

In conclusion, Dine Brands Global Inc has shown improvements in its collection of accounts receivable over the years but has also been extending its payment terms to suppliers. Further analysis would be needed to understand the impact of these trends on the company's overall liquidity and operational efficiency.
