Del Taco Franchise Information:
Del Taco is a 24-hour quick-service concept with both Mexican and American favorites, all prepared to-order. The brand has enjoyed 16 of the last 17 years of positive same-store sales growth, and Del Taco has the highest AUV in the entire Mexican QSR segment.
Del Taco’s leaders guide the company with a combined 150+ years of experience in the industry. The company owns nearly 60% of the system, meaning we’re restaurant operators first – not just in the business of selling franchises. Now part of Sagittarius Brands, Del Taco is poised to enter new markets from coast to coast!
Del Taco began in 1964 in Barstow, California. The founder, Ed Hackbarth, is still in the business today, but now as one of our biggest franchisees!
Today there are over 490 restaurants in 14 states – over 280 owned by the company in western markets and the remaining 210+ owned by franchisees.
Since the beginning, Del Taco has offered freshly prepared Tacos, Burritos and other Mexican specialties alongside classic American favorites: Crinkle-Cut French Fries, Shakes and Double-Del Cheeseburgers featuring fresh ground beef, cooked-to-order.
New items are regularly introduced such as our authentic Tacos Del Carbon in 2003, our Crispy Fish Tacos in 2005 and the Macho Taco and Crispy Shrimp Taco in 2006.
Candidates must have the wherewithal to develop full-size, free-standing, drive-through units in A sites / A trade areas. That means a net worth of at least $750,000 and $250,000 unencumbered liquidity.
Candidates must also have significant, relevant experience in the management of restaurant operations, ideally multi-unit supervision experience. The noted experience requirements may also be satisfied by an Operations Partner with equity interest in the franchise.
Candidates must focus on operating Del Taco restaurants, not on developing real estate. While it is always desirable to have purchased real estate, Del Taco must seize upon the best sites available, whether for sale or lease.
