What must Del Taco's Proprietary Marks meet to be used in the Restaurant and on the premises?

According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is allowed to use Del Taco's Proprietary Marks, which include signage, interior and exterior design, graphics, and logos, in the Restaurant and on the premises, provided that these Proprietary Marks meet all current governmental agency requirements. This condition is part of an agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant (franchisee) and ensures that the use of the real property is restricted to a Del Taco Restaurant during the term of the Franchise Agreement.

This requirement ensures that the Del Taco restaurant complies with all applicable laws and regulations related to signage, design, and branding. It is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that all Proprietary Marks used in the restaurant meet these governmental requirements. This may involve obtaining permits or approvals from local authorities before installing or displaying any signage or design elements.

This provision protects both the franchisee and Del Taco by ensuring compliance with legal standards. Failure to meet these requirements could result in fines, legal action, or the need to remove or modify the Proprietary Marks. Prospective franchisees should be aware of this requirement and factor in the time and cost associated with obtaining the necessary approvals when planning the design and layout of their Del Taco restaurant.
