"After listening closely to what matters most to our fans, we've introduced a simplified and easier-to-understand program that rewards people with free food fast for eating what they already love," said Keith Guilbault, CEO of QDOBA. "Our guests appreciate that we have set up a program that gets them to flavorful rewards fast, as we've already seen a 20% increase in weekly sign-ups since the program launched."

The new program also allows members to upgrade from the regular, entry status (referred to as Foodie Status) to Chef Status. Once a member visits a QDOBA 12 times in a year, they will be upgraded for the remainder of the year and be entitled to extra benefits and opportunities to earn additional points.

QDOBA developed the program alongside Paytronix, a company that analyzed customer purchasing habits in the fast-casual market.
