Franchisees receive extensive training; ongoing coaching and operations manuals that help them master the operations of a TacoTime store. Training takes place four to 10 weeks before your store opens and five days of classroom training at our Scottsdale, AZ headquarters, as well as five days of in-store training at an operating TacoTime.

Our training program provides an overview of the business and franchise industry, details on store operations, our insights into providing exceptional customer service, details about products, instruction in how to use the TacoTime point of sale system and our internal communications portal, financial management instruction, and more. You’ll also learn about store-opening procedures, food-product handling, sanitation procedures, back-office administration, equipment operation, storage and store management.

“As a new franchisee for Taco Time I would just like to express what a great experience it's been to work with both the Kahala and the Taco Time brand people. From site selection to construction to the extensive training, they make you feel like the only partner they have. I was very impressed with the time that was spent with me in Sioux Falls and at our restaurant. By the time they left I felt like I had been given all the tools that I would need to be successful.” - Jeff Davis, #6702 Sioux Falls, SD

“I started working at Taco Time in 1977 in a management position and was able to buy in as an owner several years later. I have felt a great support from other owners and the franchise president. We are able to make decisions for the whole franchise and feel like we have a say in the day-to-day operations." - Steve Atwood, #6341 Tremonton, UT
