Jack in the Box Franchise System Size and Composition
Our franchise business model is exceptionally flexible, which is one of the reasons we operate so many restaurants. How many Jack in the Box locations are there? We currently have 2,100 restaurants with more in development.
From the very beginning, back in 1951, we set ourselves apart with our innovative drive-thru system – we were the first major burger chain to use one! Today, we continue to set ourselves apart by improving drive-thru technology, making it easier for our customers to order and enjoy their meals.
Hospitality Tech reports: “70%+ of business comes through the drive-thru, and about half of its dining room orders are for takeout. ‘…Drive-thru enhancement is probably the number one area of focus for capital investments.
Decidedly, we continue to trailblaze with other technologies as well. Our mobile app and partnerships with delivery services allow our customers to order ahead: or even get their meals without leaving their homes. This dedication to research and development is just one of the distinctive advantages of partnering with a major franchise.

Non-Traditional Franchise Concepts
Jack in the Box® is a convenience-driven restaurant chain. A vast majority of Jack in the Box guests come from within two miles or six minutes in drive-time. To maximize that convenience factor, it’s vital that prospective sites are the most accessible and visible locations available.
Jack in the Box can help you set up new locations wherever there’s a strong demand in your community. Our restaurants don’t need much space: it enables us to set up shop in small or shared areas like food courts. Alternatively, our full-size restaurants are always popular draws. This versatility allows our franchisees to open their doors in:
- Convenience Stores
- Travel Centers, Airports
- Hotels & Major Retail Centers
Wherever people are in need of a great new restaurant!
Drive-thru enhancement is one the biggest area of focus for capital investments.
