What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a typical Del Taco site should have a dedicated parking area that can accommodate between 14 and 32 parking spaces. This range depends on the specific site requirements.
The FDD also indicates that the size of the property needed for a new Del Taco restaurant can vary significantly. This variance depends on factors such as the building size, the desired drive-thru configuration, local development codes and zoning restrictions, and any access or parking agreements with neighboring properties, landlords, or other third parties.
Prospective franchisees should carefully evaluate potential locations, considering these parking and property size guidelines, along with local regulations and agreements, to ensure the site can adequately support the Del Taco business. Consulting with real estate professionals and local authorities is advisable to assess the suitability of a location.
