Why Taco John's?
We are a
privately owned franchisor, and all but a few of the restaurants in the
chain are licensed by independent franchisees. Our food sets us apart
based on our larger portion sizes, variety, authenticity and fresh preparation.
Each Taco John’s Restaurant is assigned a Franchise Business Consultant (FBC). The FBCs provide ongoing support (utilizing other corporate resources as necessary) to help franchisees acquire, develop and mature their business and operational skills to build sales, retain customers, and maintain profitability. The FBC is the key communication link between Taco John’s International, Inc. and Taco John’s franchisees.
