Qdoba Adds Contactless Payment Systemwide with FreedomPay

With the safety and convenience of its guests top of mind, QDOBA Mexican Eats is implementing FreedomPay contactless payment across its more than 730 locations in the United States and Canada.

QDOBA will provide a safe and secure next-level consumer experience when dining inside the restaurant for enhanced convenience with FreedomPay, a leading consumer-centric contactless platform. The new touchless payment system enables QDOBA customers to have complete control over their checkout experience, giving guests the option to pay via contactless payment methods and digital wallets all on their own device, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

“Throughout these difficult and uncertain times, the care and safety of our guests has been our number one priority,” says Keith Guilbault, CEO of QDOBA. “The contactless payment program enables us to provide a seamless and safe ordering experience, so regardless of whether you’re dining in or carrying out, you feel comfortable at QDOBA.”

Voted as the nation’s best fast-casual restaurant in 2019 and 2020 by USA Today 10Best, QDOBA is known for its flavorful, freshly-prepared burritos, bowls, nachos and salads. QDOBA offers an expansive menu with high-quality ingredients, such as hand-chopped veggies, in-house pickled jalapeños and flame-grilled steak and adobo chicken. Guests are able to customize their order, or enjoy one of QDOBA’s Signature Menu items, curated by in-house executive chef, Katy Velazquez.

“FreedomPay is excited to work with QDOBA and provide a world class experience to guests across North America,” adds Chris Kronenthal, president and CTO at FreedomPay. “With our suite of touchless commerce solutions, together FreedomPay and QDOBA will drive an innovative, seamless consumer experience.”
