Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. Partners with DoorDash To Enable Delivery at All Locations
Business Wire 25-Feb-2019 9:11 AM
Fiesta
Restaurant Group (NASDAQ:FRGI), parent company of Pollo
Tropical® and sister brand Taco
Cabana® restaurants, is announcing its partnership with leading
on-demand platform DoorDash
to bring door-to-door delivery to both of its widely-popular restaurant
concepts. The announcement will position Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana
to further excel in off-premise sales by combining the flavor of each
brand's unique menu with the convenience of delivery.
Pollo Tropical delivery through DoorDash is available now at all 139
company-owned locations throughout the Pollo system. Taco Cabana
delivery through DoorDash will be available at all 162 company-owned
locations in the coming weeks. Pollo Tropical is celebrating the launch
of the partnership by offering guests $0 delivery fees on orders of $10
or more from March 4th through March 10th*. Guests will also be able to
order delivery online at www.PolloTropical.com
and www.TacoCabana.com.
Within the DoorDash platform at www.DoorDash.com
or via the DoorDash mobile app, all deliveries can be tracked by the
guest in real time.
DoorDash and Fiesta Restaurant Group have been working together to
integrate the ordering and delivery process fully into both Fiesta
brands' systems to provide operational excellence and a top-notch guest
experience. Additionally, the DoorDash platform utilizes a proprietary
system involving each restaurant location's radius so that deliveries
are as fast and efficient as possible. All DoorDash drivers use thermal
bags on all items to ensure quality.
"We expect that the DoorDash partnership will further elevate the
already-high level of excitement fans feel for both of these equally
unique brands," said Rich Stockinger, CEO of Fiesta Restaurant Group.
"Now Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana guests can enjoy these menu concepts
and craveable flavors any way they prefer – delivery, dine-in or pick
up."
"Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana guests expect convenience without
sacrificing quality, and DoorDash is thrilled to provide that level of
service to fans of these two truly unique restaurant brands," said
Christopher Payne, Chief Operating Officer at DoorDash.
