Employment Benefits

At Qdoba Restaurant Corporation, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package that provides excellent coverage for eligible team members and their families, including health, dental and vision plans for our management, support center, and hourly team members. Please note that benefits listed below are intended for Qdoba Restaurant Corporation eligible team members only. Additionally, each benefit listed has certain eligibility requirements and may be subject to change at any time.


  • “I encourage my team to speak to our guests not only about our great food but about anything. Our guests are not just customers but people we see everyday and want to get to know. Their experience here shouldn't just be friendly but an environment of friends.”


  • “I take pride in working for a company that sincerely cares about its guests and the quality of its product. Qdoba has given me an opportunity to meet new people every day and I love that aspect of my job. I truly feel I am appreciated for my work and I have learned a lot along the way.”


  • “I like that I see the same guests several times a week and am able to get to know their names. I like that we have fun while working; Qdoba is my family.”


  • “Eric, the Manager, is very friendly, helpful and always makes sure every order in correct. The other managers are also very friendly and courteous and assist in any way to make your visit enjoyable. They always greet us as if they know us.”


  • “In downtown Los Angeles it is hard to find a place like yours. I was impressed with your food, your service, and the environment. I have problems with my foot and David and Dulce assisted me from the time I arrived to the time I left. Very impressive, especially in downtown LA!”


  • “I work with a great team where everyone works well together, and Qdoba feels like my second home. Because of this, I am able to provide great guest service all the time.”


  • “What first brought me to Qdoba was the fresh food and friendly faces. I've had the opportunity to work at several different locations and I have learned so much from other Managers. Everyone has been supportive of me in my Qdoba adventure.”


  • “"The manager is always friendly when we enter the restaurant and he always checks on us during our meal to make sure everything is going well. He even offers to clean up after us. I always enjoy coming in for great food and the friendly staff."”


  • “I enjoy being able to have a brief yet meaningful interaction with the guest across the line; making them smile, laugh, or at least a chuckle. I enjoy helping them discover new favorite menu items, as well as helping them understand our diverse and unique menu options.”


  • “My favorite thing about working at Qdoba is interacting with our guests. We know many people by their first name and get to know their order as well. The more often they come in, the more we get to know them, and eventually they become more than just customers to us.”


  • “I enjoy describing our food to our guests. Preparing it in front of them allows them to see just how fresh it is. When guests see this for the first time they seem impressed. We receive a lot of great feedback from our guests about our food.”


  • “I always do my best, even during a rush, to ask a guest how their day is going, how their kids are, or some other question that shows that I care about them as a person, not "just another burrito". Part of that comes from my personal belief in treating others with consideration, and part of that comes from my experience working at Qdoba.”


  • “Qdoba hasn't just given me the support and preparation to succeed, it has given me the opportunity to go as far as I want. At Qdoba my job has turned into a great career, my co-workers into my Qdoba family, and my restaurant into my second home.”
