Orientation & Training
Your orientation will start with your regional real estate development manager (REDM). They will assist you with navigating the real estate and site selection process. Once you have your site, you will be assigned a regionally based construction manager. They will provide you with CAD drawings of our prototype layout. Before opening your restaurant, we offer a Franchise Management Training Program (FMTP) to qualify you, your Operating Principle, and your restaurant managers to operate the restaurant. This program is comprised of 40 hours of classroom training and 400 hours of on-the-job training.
Grand Opening
At Del Taco, we can go as fast as you are willing to go. We've found the entire process to become a franchisee typically ranges from 60 - 120 days.
