QDOBA is chosen by the world's toughest restaurant critics: successful franchisees. We've attracted successful, multi-unit franchisees from Papa John's, Burger King, Applebee's, Johnny Rocket's, Hooters, and Village Inn, as well as a former president of KFC and a former CEO of Church's and Rally's. Why? QDOBA has a unique position among its fast-casual Mexican competitors; attractive sales-to-investment ratio; multiple years of double-digit, same-store sales growth.
