The Competitive Advantages of Our Burger Franchise

When you choose a burger franchise, you’ll want to ensure that it’s ready to compete with other fast food restaurants in your area. Jack in the Box enjoys many competitive advantages in this regard. Our expansive menu includes items other chains don’t offer, like tacos and burgers on toasted sourdough bread. 

Another reason to choose Jack in the Box is our long history of innovation, staying on the cutting-edge of technology. We were the first major fast food chain to implement a drive-thru system back in 1951, and since then, we’ve remained leaders in the field. As more and more people choose drive-thru, you can count on Jack in the Box to keep your restaurant ahead of the competition.

Drive-thru is just one of the many Jack in the Box firsts. We also were the first to roll out self-serve kiosks in 2006, the first to offer portable salads in 1982, and the first to integrate video graphics in order-confirmation displays in 1997.

Furthermore, we’ve built marketing into our franchise opportunity, ensuring that the people in your community know about specials and other limited-time offers. These are just a few of the countless ways Jack in the Box works to keep customers coming through our franchisees’ doors.
