Here, learn more about why our fast-casual franchise beats out fast food every time.
Fast-Casual Franchises vs. Fast Food
| Fast-Casual | Fast Food |
| High-quality ingredients | Processed, low-cost ingredients |
| Clean and comfortable dining rooms, perfect for lunch meetings | Dining rooms that encourage customers to finish their meals quickly and leave |
| #1 priority is great food at a great price | #1 priority is speed |
Fast-casual restaurants allow customers to access high-quality meals at reasonable price points with the same convenience as a fast food restaurant. While fast food remains popular as well, today’s customers want something more than burgers and fries. They value wholesome ingredients, freshness, and innovation. That gives restaurants like Jon Smith Subs a serious competitive advantage.
Our menu is a cut above the typical sub shop. Our meats are slow-marinated overnight for flavor that can’t be beat. Fresh veggies are chopped by hand every day, and we only use fresh-baked bread. The result is a sandwich that stands out from any other – and with extra-large portion sizes, to boot. Customers have been returning to our restaurants again and again, for decades, because we refuse to cut corners when it comes to quality.
