What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Del Taco segment profit for the sixteen weeks ended January 19, 2025, was $9,326. This figure reflects the profit specifically attributable to the Del Taco restaurant operations during that period. In comparison, the Del Taco segment profit for the sixteen weeks ended January 21, 2024, was $12,763.
Segment profit is a key indicator of a franchise's financial health, as it represents the revenue generated by a particular segment (in this case, Del Taco) minus its direct operating expenses. It does not include shared services and unallocated costs, which are accounted for separately. For a prospective franchisee, understanding the segment profit is crucial because it provides insight into the profitability of the Del Taco brand specifically, without being influenced by the performance of other segments (such as Jack in the Box).
The FDD also shows that the total segment profit for the company, which includes both Jack in the Box and Del Taco, was $97,244 for the sixteen weeks ended January 19, 2025. This indicates that Del Taco's segment profit contributed to the overall profitability of the company, although it was lower than the Jack in the Box segment profit of $115,963 for the same period. Reviewing these figures helps potential franchisees assess the financial performance and stability of the Del Taco brand within the larger corporate structure.
