What JACK IN THE BOX INC does

In the company’s own words

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) operates as a restaurant company headquartered in San Diego, California, and maintains its corporate website at www.jackinthebox.com. The company owns and franchises two primary restaurant brands: Jack in the Box, one of the nation's largest hamburger chains, and Del Taco, a prominent Mexican-American quick service restaurant chain.

As of September 28, 2025, Jack in the Box operates and franchises 2,136 restaurants across 22 states, with approximately 93 percent franchised. The brand offers a diverse menu including classic burgers such as the Jumbo Jack and Buttery Jack, breakfast sandwiches with freshly cracked eggs, tacos, curly fries, egg rolls, and specialty items. Jack in the Box pioneered a five day-part strategy, allowing customers to order breakfast items at night or burgers and chicken in the morning. The brand maintains strong market presence in the western and southern United States, with its top 10 major markets representing approximately 70 percent of total system restaurants.

Del Taco operates and franchises 576 restaurants across 18 states, with 77 percent franchised. Founded in 1964, Del Taco emphasizes fresh preparation of Mexican and American favorites, including burritos, carne asada, and house-made guacamole, serving approximately two million guests weekly. In October 2025, the company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell Del Taco Holdings Inc. to Yadav Enterprises, Inc. for $115 million in cash, reflecting the company's strategic shift to focus on Jack in the Box.

The company employs 5,046 total employees across both brands, comprising 4,440 restaurant employees, 553 corporate management and staff, and 53 field operations management. Jack in the Box and Del Taco restaurants operate through company managers or franchise operators responsible for product quality, food safety, and customer service. The company utilizes a single primary food service distributor for substantially all food, packaging, and supplies through August 2027.

Jack in the Box's business strategy emphasizes strengthening its foundation through the "Jack on Track" plan, building brand loyalty via marketing and digital platforms, driving operations excellence, and growing restaurant profits. The company maintains registered trademarks for both Jack in the Box and Del Taco names and logos, which are material to its business operations.
