Jack in the Box allows its guests to customize meals to their tastes and order any product on the menu when they want it, including breakfast at night, or burgers and chicken in the morning. The Jack in the Box trademark of variety and innovation has led to the development of five true day parts: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and late night. Del Taco offers a unique variety of both Mexican and American favorites such as burritos and fries, prepared fresh in every restaurant's kitchen with the value and convenience of a drive-thru. Del Taco's menu items taste better because they are made with quality ingredients like freshly grilled chicken and carne asada steak, fresh house-made guacamole, freshly grated cheddar cheese, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, and creamy Queso Blanco. In April 2025, the Company announced a multi-faceted 'Jack on Track' plan, which included exploring strategic alternatives for the Del Taco brand; on October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell Del Taco Holdings Inc. to Yadav Enterprises, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $115 million in cash.
