home, Quiznos sandwiches are created by actual chefs who design recipes and create flavor profiles that are complex, unique and irresistible.

“The fact that our sandwiches are designed by chefs is a tremendous differentiator,” says Tim Casey, President and CEO. “This is what we’ve been doing for more than 35 years, and this remains what the public wants: a sandwich or a salad that was designed to taste exceptional, with high-quality, artisanal ingredients, at a price that is affordable and with little to no wait. Our sandwiches are the reason behind our brand equity, and we are going to continue to innovate and expand our world-class menu to become more inclusive to more consumers over time.”

Visit a Quiznos restaurant and you’ll see immediately how much we stand apart from our competition. Our menu features an array of more than 20 designed sandwiches that are beloved across the country.

Seconds after your order is taken, we begin preparing your sandwich. Our meats & cheeses are sliced fresh daily so we can prepare each sandwich exactly the way our chefs designed it. We then toast the sandwich to heighten the flavor

Why Own a Quiznos Franchise?QUIZNOS IS ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN SANDWICH BRANDS Have you ever walked into a room where everyone knows your name? For Quiznos franchisees, this is a daily experience. Since 1981, Quiznos has won over millions of devoted sandwich lovers who cannot wait to get their hands on one of our toasty subs. This puts our brand equity far beyond our competition, as Quiznos continues to enjoy widespread popularity and brand recognition that continues to grow after close to four decades in business. More importantly, our enormous brand equity greatly increases the profit-potential of our restaurants – especially in the crucial months after your grand opening celebration.

The true reason behind our outstanding brand equity is our exceptional food, and let’s face it, it’s the reason why you’re interested in investing in a Quiznos franchise. What makes our food so special? Our secret lies in the fact that while our competitors file their customers down a cafeteria line, charging for a sandwich the customer could have made at


QUIZNOS FRANCHISE REPORTof the ingredients to perfectly meld with our artisanal bread. Our customers get all of this at an extremely affordable price and for an average wait time of three to five minutes.

This is not to say that Quiznos frowns upon customization. While we take pride in how our sandwiches taste, we give our customers the opportunity to enhance their sandwiches by allowing the freedom to add sauces and toppings at our self-serve Flavor Station.

“Our recent efforts to become more of what our customers know and love have been enormously successful,” says Natalie Hansen, Senior Director of Development. “The in-store experience has been significantly enhanced by our new restaurant design. Our new look and feel is chic, ultra-modern and seems much larger than our average 1,200 square foot layout. This makes the investment more affordable for franchisees, as well as improves the overall customer experience, increasing the frequency of a customer’s visit.”

WE‘RE GROWING, AND WE’RE GROWING SMART In order to capitalize on our outstanding brand equity, our new leadership team is intent on growing our brand smartly and effectively across the nation. To do this, Quiznos first had to modernize its business model and lower the barriers to entry. We also invested in the tools that will help increase franchisees’ profitability levels.

Quiznos has never been more affordable to own than it is today. In 2016, our executive team solidified the “New Deal,” which not only reduced the franchise fee to $10,000, but it also lowered the ongoing costs of royalty fees from 7% to 5% and our ongoing national advertising fee from 4% to 2%. Importantly, the reduction in fees did not come at the expense of support that we provide to our franchisees, which is one of the most robust in the entire franchise industry. This agreement has the added benefit of helping to increase the

ongoing profit-potential of Quiznos restaurants, as the savings on royalty and advertising fees translate into real dollars for our franchisees to invest in their businesses. As we expand across the country, Quiznos is looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about our brand and our food and have the drive to share that passion with their communities.

Our executive team is committed to supplying our franchisees with new technology to improve every aspect of their businesses. Most recently, we supplied our franchisees with a new point-of-sale (POS) system that has several key functions: 1) providing analytics on sales, effectiveness of promotions, inventory and unit profitability; 2) simplifying ordering new inventory and inventory maintenance; and 3) being synced with some third-party delivery platforms to help capture an outsize share of the mobile delivery revolution.

“Our New Deal is an industry-leading decision to reinvest in the long-term success of our franchisees,” says Patrick Hilton, Executive Vice President of Operations North America with Quiznos. “As a result, it makes us truly competitive in the crowded sandwich market, with ongoing fees reduced to an industry low, and it gives our franchisees the funds needed to market effectively in their communities. We’re not interested in collecting fees from our franchisees, we’re interested in building a relationship and providing the mentoring, training and education to empower our franchisees to become successful. We’re not focusing on hyper-growth, we’re focusing on growing smart. We’re focusing on finding the entrepreneurs who are passionate about our brand and a drive to succeed to open Quiznos in their communities.”


The Quiznos Franchise StoryHOW THE SIMPLE ACT OF TOASTING CHANGED THE SANDWICH INDUSTRY FOREVERIf you were born after 1981, you cannot possibly remember what the world of sandwiches was like before Quiznos introduced the toasted sub and became one of the most popular sandwich brands of all time. You’re lucky, as the rest of us have to shiver at the memories of eating cold, uninspired sandwiches of questionable quality in the time before Quiznos opened up in our communities.

Quiznos was established more than 35 years ago in Denver, Colorado, by Jimmy Lambatos. Inspired by the oven-baked sandwiches of his youth on Long Island, Jimmy began toasting his subs to bring out the flavors of the butcher-quality meats, high-end cheeses, and artisanal bread. In fact, several of Jimmy’s original creations are still proudly showcased on the current Quiznos menu, such as our Classic Italian and our Meatball sandwich. Close to four decades later, Jimmy’s original sandwiches have been enjoyed by millions upon millions of people, and the brand he founded in 1981 continues to be championed by millions of devoted enthusiasts across the country.

The Quiznos of today continues to build upon Jimmy’s original idea of delivering the best possible sandwich experience. Our toasted sandwiches still proudly feature butcher-quality meats, high-end cheeses, and artisanal bread, though we kicked our game up several notches by introducing chef-inspired sauces and new flavor profiles that work with our ingredients like a symphony for your taste buds. While our roots are proudly planted in the comfort-food-style sandwiches such as our Chicken Carbonara, our menu continues to expand to cater to diverse lifestyles and appetites with new items such as salads, wraps and more!

In turn, Quiznos continues to remain at the forefront of inclusivity, appealing to more people than other sandwich brands could possibly imagine.

WHY IS QUIZNOS STRONGER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE? Quiznos is led by an executive team that is passionate about our brand, our storied history and the success of our franchisees. The knowledge of our brand, our culture and what it means to have lasting success is what fuels our Franchisee Centric leadership team, and is the reason we drafted a New Deal with franchisees to make Quiznos more affordable to own than ever before.

The New Deal greatly reduced the ongoing costs of owning a Quiznos franchise, while also enhancing the level of support that our franchisees receive. We’re proud to report that our royalty fees and advertising fees are some of the lowest in the entire franchise industry. Quiznos franchisees also benefit from a robust support platform that includes everything from initial training, ongoing education, ongoing marketing support, and our continuous roll-out of new menu



items. Our commitment to leveraging new technologies helps Quiznos franchisees increase their profit-potential over the longterm. Of course, buying a Quiznos franchise comes with the tremendous upside of owning a restaurant that has tremendous brand recognition, with millions of fans across the country and a proven business model that has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs realize their dream of owning the best sandwich shop in their community.

How Does Quiznos Stand Out from the Competition?QUIZNOS ENJOYS OVERWHELMING BRAND EQUITY AND THE MOST CRAVEABLE, TOASTY SANDWICHES IN THE INDUSTRYThe sub and sandwich industry has grown at a tremendous rate over the last few years, with an annual revenue of $21 billion, according to IBIS World(1). The rapid growth is easily explained when we learn just how much Americans love sandwiches. The Smithsonian magazine reports that 50 percent of Americans eat a sandwich every day(2), and QSR magazine states that 70 percent of Americans

eat sandwiches at least twice a week(3). Overwhelmingly, Americans prefer the type of sandwiches Quiznos excels at making, as QSR reports that 64 percent of consumers crave the sub more than any other sandwich(4).

As the sandwich industry continues to grow, more and more brands are chasing after the same customer demographic at exactly the same time: lunch diners. A recent survey conducted by Accounting Principles revealed that Americans spend $2,000 annually, or about $37 a week, on lunch(5). Even more importantly, the growing third-party delivery boom, brought by brands like Uber Eats, Postmates, and others, is expected to cause a tremendous shift in the way Americans consume their food going forward. The Atlantic reports in an article called, “The Paradox of American Restaurants,” that “more people are ‘ordering in,’ and eating restaurant food on their own tables, desks, and beds.”(6)

While small now, the growing segment of mobile food delivery is expected to outpace overall restaurant growth well into the future: “These so-called ‘online restaurant sales’ — which just means ordering a meal delivery online — only account for about 2 percent of the restaurant market today, according to a Euromonitor study commissioned for Blue Apron’s public filing,” The Atlantic reports in the article. “But this online market is projected to grow 15-times faster than the rest of the restaurant business through the end of the decade.”

WHAT MAKES QUIZNOS A STAND-OUT OPPORTUNITY IN THE CROWDED SANDWICH INDUSTRY?In a crowded and competitive landscape, Quiznos leads the way in brand recognition and awareness. For more than 35 years, Quiznos has won over millions of loyal brand champions who crave our deliciously toasted, chef-inspired subs and sandwiches.

Quiznos excels at the art of sandwich-making because we take our food quality extremely seriously. We use authentic and expertly sourced ingredients, such as butcher-quality meats, all-natural cheeses, chef-inspired sauces and only the freshest vegetables. We pioneered the toasted sandwich, and it’s true that when our sandwiches are sent through our toaster, what emerges is a sandwich where all the ingredients

work together to create one perfect bite after another.“What makes Quiznos exceptional begins with our food,” says Tim Casey, President and CEO of Quiznos. “It’s no secret that Quiznos pioneered the toasted sandwich, but most people don’t know that what makes our sandwiches taste so much better than our competition is the combination of a recipe created by a professional chef and our commitment to using the freshest and best ingredients on the market.”

QUIZNOS IS AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON THIRD-PARTY DELIVERY AND CATERINGOther sandwich franchise systems seem to struggle with mobilizing the technology needed to capture a significant share of the rapidly growing third-party delivery market. Quiznos, however, has a built-in feature on our new POS systems to make third-party delivery an easy way to earn additional revenue.

This new tool also allows our franchisees to track their catering orders, incentivizing the need for franchise owners to go out and grow their catering business in their local communities. Catering is an important, double-digit revenue stream for our top-performing franchisees, which grows depending on how much and how effectively it is marketed.

Our POS system also has our loyalty program built-in, which gives our franchisees real-time data on who their customers are, what they like to order, and how often they come in for a sandwich. Another big part of our new POS system is managing food costs and inventory, which has never been easier than it is now. We’re going to continue to leverage new technologies on behalf of our franchisees going forward so that we can continue to be at the forefront of consumer demand.”

What Are My Startup Costs?HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO OPEN A QUIZNOS FRANCHISE?Quiznos is one of the most affordable sandwich franchise systems on the market. This makes our brand a terrific opportunity for first-time entrepreneurs and experienced restaurateurs alike. The total investment to open a new Quiznos franchise ranges from $211,850 to $326,549. In 2016, we negotiated a New Deal with our franchise network to reduce the ongoing royalty fees and national advertising fees, which are among the lowest in the entire industry.

Because our franchisees invest real time, money and passion into their businesses, Quiznos goes above and beyond in our support. We support our franchisees from the minute they sign the franchise agreement and become a part of the Quiznos family.

Why Our Menu Innovation is ImportantFRANCHISE COUNTINUES TO EXPAND THANKS TO THE MILLIONS OF DEVOTED QUIZNOS FANS ACROSS THE COUNTRYBeing in business for more than 35 years affords Quiznos the luxury of knowing who our customers are and what they expect from us. In recent years, Quiznos has invested significantly in customer data, beginning with our mobile app, which has been downloaded more than 500,000 times. This data is important, as we can see firsthand what our most popular menu items are, we can survey our customers to learn what they would love to see on our menu, and we can track how much they crave our sandwiches by how often they visit one of our locations.

We’ve learned quite a lot about our customers through this data, which has guided our executive team to remain on the cutting edge of food trends, to develop new flavor profiles, to embrace the rising popularity of ethnic foods and more. By doing so, we create a menu that is constantly evolving to meet the demand for both new and classic sandwiches alike.

“We’re extremely pleased with the success of our new mobile app and its ability to give us insight into our most loyal customers,” says Mark Lohmann, Chief Brand Officer,

with Quiznos. “Quiznos has tremendous brand equity, which after being so beloved by millions for more than 35 years is not surprising. Now, we get to complement this brand equity with real information about what our customers like and dislike, in order to develop a menu that both retains our loyal customers and captures more of the market. Our efforts have worked.”

BOLD, INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE FLAVORSQuiznos has a menu that is second to none in the sandwich industry. We offer more than 20 mouth-watering, chef-inspired toasted sandwiches. Some fan favorites are our Chicken Carbonara, Spicy Monterey, Classic Italian, Turkey Ranch & Swiss, Veggie Guacamole and more. All of these classic sandwiches are made with butcher-quality meats, high-quality cheeses and the freshest vegetables available on the market.

The sandwich industry leader for bold, innovative flavors, Quiznos offers a classic menu, the result of years of ongoing expansion in order to continually enhance and improve our flavor profile. Beyond our menu, our innovation continues in our constantly rotating Limited Time Offerings (LTOs), which is where we really test our creativity and interact with trendy foods and new flavor profiles and try out new recipes to win over old and new customers alike.

Recently, we’ve offered a European-style Gyro, which is driving our customers wild. In the past, we’ve offered a line of artisanal Ciabatta Toasties, which introduced our fans to the delicious tastes of Turkey Pesto and Honey Dijon. Every year, we also feature our take on a sandwich featuring lobster, which gives our customers a luxurious treat at an unbeatable price point.




How Much Money Can I Make?QUIZNOS IS EXCITED TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WITH A BELOVED BRANDQuiznos remains one of the most exciting sandwich franchise opportunities on the market today. If you’ve tried our sandwiches, you’ll understand why we’re a leader in the $21 billion sub and sandwich industry. Given the fact that Quiznos is beloved by millions across the country, our brand equity alone makes us a wise investment, as your community will already be familiar with your restaurant before you open your doors.

In order to capitalize on our brand equity, Quiznos has invested significantly in training and education to help our franchisees grow and prosper over the long term. Begins with our training platform, which is a total of three weeks in Denver, Colorado, where you will work in an extremely

popular, corporate-owned Quiznos restaurant, learning every aspect of the business: from how to prepare our delicious sandwiches, to how to offer exceptional customer service, to mastery of our brand new state-of-the-art POS system, to managing inventory, a crew and more.

In addition to the extensive hands-on training, you’ll spend several hours in a classroom setting, where you will be coached by members of our executive team on important subjects such as marketing your new business, financial performance and how to become a leader to your crew and in your community.

“Financial awareness is an extremely important aspect of our training and ongoing support,” says Tim Casey, President and CEO. “We have over 35 years of experience as a franchise system, and we are proud to report that we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs realize their dreams of small business ownership. As a brand, we are stronger than ever, and as a franchisor, we have more tools than ever before to help our franchisees launch their new businesses, as well as to ensure that they have everything they need to become top performing franchisees over the long-term.”



The total investment to open a new Quiznos franchises ranges from $211,850 to $326,549. In 2016, we negotiated a New Deal with our franchise network to reduce the ongoing royalty fees and national advertising fees, which are among the lowest in the entire industry. The added, ongoing significance of the New Deal is that it provides our franchisees with more money to invest in their own businesses, such as local marketing efforts and networking in their community in order to grow sales.

Quiznos Restaurant Types and LayoutsWE OFFER FRANCHISE MODELS BEYOND OUR TRADITIONAL STORES TO MEET A GROWING DEMAND IN EXPANDING MARKETSAt Quiznos we have expanded beyond the original store model to meet the growing need for consumers and growing demand for our restaurants in areas beyond our core footprint. To set up franchisees for rapid growth, we’ve designed a modern new store that appeals to a broad customer base looking for inspired convenience. This new design instantly enhances our brand position in the market and ensures you an inviting environment in which to grow your business.

Our traditional store franchises are the foundation of our brand, but Quiznos embraces innovation and we have modified our original design to meet different geographic footprints and consumer needs. Because of this flexibility, we are expanding further around Denver, Colorado, the East Coast, internationally, and everywhere in between. We assist our future franchisees in site selection and rely on the most updated data to determine the perfect site for all of our restaurants, as well as the perfect franchise model.

Quiznos offers three models: traditional, non-traditional, and convenience store (C-Store) models ideally placed in areas with heavy automobile or foot daytime traffic. For each option, we work closely with franchisees on site selection and can also ascertain whether a conversion of an existing retail space makes sense for a particular area.

QUIZNOS SUB SHOP FRANCHISE TRADITIONAL MODELOur original traditional model is the core of our business. This standard store or new build layout typically ranges from 1,200 to 1,600 square feet. We can also build down to 1,000 square feet and up to 1,800 square feet to comfortably meet customer needs. Seating in a traditional store model, which is well suited for a strip mall with other stores and close to areas of heavy automobile or foot traffic, usually handles 20+ guests, with an option of outdoor seating. Our guests enjoy the ease of parking or walking to these locations, and being served a high-quality, quickly served meal where they can sit down and enjoy it.

QUIZNOS NON-TRADITIONAL MODELWhen it comes to non-traditional franchise opportunities with Quiznos, there are many location options to choose from, but our well-loved brand and functionality in smaller spaces make us a natural fit in nontraditional spots. Airport


QUIZNOS FRANCHISE REPORTlocations, truck stops, travel centers, business centers, and college campuses are some of the shining stars in the non-traditional model.

Millions of travelers walk through airports every year, with an hour or more long layovers. Travelers spend millions on food and drinks in airports. Since our high-quality food is produced at a quick rate, airports and our other non-traditional models are a great option. Today, guests demand high levels of quality no matter the format, and Quiznos can adhere to the same level of expectation in a non-traditional location. The other advantage is peak times and volumes may be dramatically different than at traditional restaurants and experience high traffic during more hours of the day.

QUIZNOS CONVENIENCE STORE (C-STORE) MODELFor areas with busier on-the-go customers and where a traditional model is not possible, Quiznos 24/7 convenience stores (C-Stores) locations are an opportunity to capture sales from customers stopping in for their morning coffee or a quick breakfast bite to take along with them. The average size of the store ranges from 800 square feet to 900 square feet, with specific requirements for the front and back areas.

Quiznos’ C-Store menu is flexible, depending on space and equipment, and was developed based on consumer and partner feedback. It focuses on all dayparts, which is critical in the 24/7 space. Convenience stores are able to feature either the full menu, like a traditional location, or a modified menu that is a bit more limited such as cinnamon rolls and biscuit-and-egg sandwiches to capture sales from customers who stop in for their morning coffee.Increasing its presence at convenience stores enables the company to exist in places that normally wouldn’t support a traditional Quiznos, like service plazas, truck stops, travel centers, and busy urban areas.

Markets Where Quiznos WorksJOIN THE RESURGENT QUIZNOS SANDWICH FRANCHISE AS IT RAPIDLY EXPANDSQuiznos is excited to announce an aggressive development plan which will see our brand growing significantly in the coming years. Since our founding, we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs realize their full potential as franchise owners. Today, a Quiznos sandwich franchise is more affordable to own and easier to run than ever before. We’re actively seeking people who are passionate about our food and sharing that joy with their community to become a part of our growing franchise family.

AVAILABLE TERRITORIES AND GROWTH MARKETSAfter years of building brand loyalty, the question people frequently ask is “Where can I find a Quiznos?” Led by a visionary, franchisee-centric executive team, Quiznos is now poised to strategically grow in the U.S. and around the world. With more than 500 locations in North America and more than 200 internationally in 31 countries, Quiznos has the potential to thrive in major metropolitan areas, shopping malls, suburban communities, and non-traditional locations such as colleges, airports, hospitals and more. The U.S. and International markets are wide open.



“Quiznos has a lot of growth opportunity in areas where locations already exist, as well as entirely new markets,” says Natalie Hansen, Senior Director of Development .

The markets available range from large metropolitan areas to medium-sized markets and smaller communities. Quiznos is actively targeting entrepreneurs in Denver, Des Moines, Las Vegas, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Phoenix, St. Louis and Wichita to open new Quiznos restaurants in these markets.

For entrepreneurs who are interested in buying an existing Quiznos restaurant, Quiznos has a number of immediate opportunities in several markets across the country. To learn more about these opportunities, fill out an application on this site and we will reach out to you shortly.

Quiznos competes in a thriving QSR market that still has significant space to expand. We’re uniquely positioned to thrive in business or industrial districts where customers can choose our brand as their lunch choice every day of the week. These sites, boasting a large daytime population with lunchtime business traffic, do very well. We are also looking for sites where there are high traffic counts with guests looking for a QSR dinner option.

For the ambitious entrepreneur, Quiznos is an excellent choice for opening multiple locations in one select area. The only limitation to our reach is the level of your drive. Ideal locations have good visibility to street traffic, as well as easy access by foot or car.

Our QSR concept works well in myriad spaces. You can purchase land and build your location from the ground up, you can lease property, you can purchase an existing building for conversion or you can build out an in-line or end cap restaurant. Our corporate team works closely with you during the site selection process to ensure the location meets our guidelines and will help set you up for success.

WHAT DOES QUIZNOS REQUIRE FROM A RESTAURANT LOCATION?Quiznos uses both state-of-the-art technology and old-school real estate savvy to determine which locations are ideally suited to sustain the success of Quiznos restaurant over the long-term. On a basic level, here is how we determine what makes a good location:

Visibility: Is the location visible to drivers from the road? Is the location visible to pedestrians on the street?

Access: Is the location easy to drive in and out of? Is the location easy to get to on foot?

Multiple Traffic Generators: Is this location already popular with people in the community? Is the location near other points of interest?

Lunchtime Traffic: Is this location a popular destination for the lunchtime crowd?

Catering Opportunities: Is this location near other businesses and residences?

Who Are We Looking For?QUIZNOS IS ACTIVELY SEEKING ENTREPRENEURS WITH A PASSION FOR OUR BRAND TO JOIN OUR GROWING FRANCHISE FAMILYWhen you walk into Adam Sinnard’s Quiznos location outside of Denver, you will be greeted by one of the most outgoing personalities in all of franchising. His love for our food, his customers, and his crew is genuine and his energy is infectious.



Sinnard’s love for Quiznos began in high school and continues to this day as he currently owns three Quiznos franchise restaurants in the area surrounding Denver. His enthusiasm isn’t a fleeting thing, but something he works at constantly. He markets incessantly in the communities where his Quiznos restaurants are, including going to local businesses to grow his catering business. His efforts have paid off, as Sinnard is not only one of our top-performing franchisees, his passion for the Quiznos brand exemplifies the kind of personality needed to become successful in the sandwich business.

“I wake up every day really excited by the fact that I get to share Quiznos with so many people,” he says. “The corporate leadership is the best we’ve ever had, and they continually find ways to support us, encourage us, and help us grow. I’m on my third restaurant, and I’m looking to open another in 2018. It’s really the food that makes me so passionate. There’s just no other sandwich franchise that offers the level of quality, the chef-inspired recipes and the ability to have something deliciously toasted that Quiznos offers. I’m absolutely in love with our food. I love my team, and I love my customers. It’s incredibly rewarding to wake up and do something that I’m passionate about every single day.”

LOCAL MARKETING AND THE DRIVE TO BE ENGAGED WITH YOUR COMMUNITY IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SUCCESSThe type of outgoing personality that Sinnard personifies above is the essential quality needed to excel with the Quiznos brand. While we don’t require previous restaurant

experience, we do require that our franchisees are passionate about the Quiznos brand and more importantly, sharing their passion for our food with our community.This is intentional. People who spend money on restaurants want to patronize a place that makes them feel good, makes them feel welcome and where the energy from the crew is contagious, inviting and fun. As an owner, being a visible presence in your community is going to make your restaurant feel like the local restaurant that it is, helping you to grow sales as you get to know more and more of the people who live and work nearby.

“We are extremely focused on finding entrepreneurs with the drive to be a meaningful part of their communities,” says Mark Lohmann, Chief Brand Officer, with Quiznos.

“We know that the success of our franchisees is essential to the success of the Quiznos brand overall. Because of this, we have developed an intensive local marketing approach, which requires our franchisees to build relationships with their customers and their local small business community. Not only does this approach drive more customers to your restaurant, it grows both your catering segment and your third-party delivery segment as well.”

QUIZNOS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR U.S. VETERANSMilitary veterans are uniquely qualified to franchise with Quiznos, as they have a proven ability to follow systems, procedures, and processes necessary to make any venture successful. Quiznos runs on systems. Implementing systems and following procedures with the precision emphasized in military training leads to success in franchising.



How Do We Support Our Franchisees?OUR ROBUST TRAINING AND ONGOING EDUCATION IS DESIGNED TO HELP MAKE YOU A TOP-PERFORMING QUIZNOS FRANCHISEEFranchising with Quiznos means that you’re never alone in your business. We know that our brand appeals to folks who have only dreamed about someday owning their own Quiznos franchise, those without prior restaurant experience, first-time entrepreneurs who have never owned a business before, as well as veteran entrepreneurs who have owned several businesses in a wide variety of industries.

The truth is: franchising with Quiznos is easier than you think. While prior experience in the restaurant industry is welcome, it certainly isn’t required. What is required is that our franchisees have a passion for Quiznos, and the desire to share that passion with their communities.

“Quiznos is lucky because many of our top-performing franchisees were fans of the brand before they opened the doors to their Quiznos restaurants,” says Tim Casey, President and CEO. “We realized that these brand champions are the people that we want to recruit because while they may not have experience as a restaurant owner, they do have experience in loving our brand. Our training platform is one of the most robust in the entire sandwich franchise industry, and it is designed to help make our franchisees become top-performers over the long-term. The culture of our brand is franchisee centric, which means that our one and only goal is to help our franchisees thrive and prosper, and we provide them with the tools they need to make their dreams of success a reality.”

Because many of our franchisees come to us without any experience in the restaurant industry, Quiznos has developed

an intensive initial training and ongoing education platform to help our franchisees get established quickly and thrive over the long term. This is how we do it:

ONLINE TRAINING Once you become a franchisee, you will have access to our online training platform before you attend the three-week training session in Denver. These modules offer education about our brand, our recipes, how to prepare our sandwiches, information about our POS system, how to train employees and more. The online training platform becomes especially handy when you leave our training and are ready to open the doors to your new restaurant, giving you access to necessary information about your business no matter where you are in the country.

HANDS-ON TRAININGIn order to master your new business, you will don a Quiznos uniform and go to work at our heavily trafficked, corporate-owned Quiznos restaurant in Denver, Colorado, learning every aspect of the business: from how to prepare our delicious sandwiches, to how to offer exceptional customer service, to mastery of our brand new state-of-the-art POS system, to managing inventory, managing a crew and more.
