Qdoba Mexican Eats Franchise Model Overview
Qdoba restaurants are fast-casual Mexican concepts where guests move down a steam-table line customizing burritos, bowls, tacos, salads and nachos, with orders also coming through drive-thru, pickup windows, the app and third-party delivery; catering, chiefly the delivered Hot Bar, is a meaningful add-on. Most locations sit in strip centers or freestanding buildings, seat 15 to 80 guests and require a mid-to-high six-figure leased build-out driven by leasehold improvements, kitchen equipment and a sizable IT package. Royalty is 5 percent of gross sales and the marketing fee is currently 4.5 percent. Whoever runs the restaurant must do so full time; multi-unit owners need a Designated Operator with three years of multi-unit experience, and every store staffs a general manager plus four additional leaders. The system has grown each of the last three fiscal years, largely through refranchising of company stores. Transfers require approval, a refurbished restaurant, training and a fee, and the franchisor holds a right of first refusal.
