Schlotzsky’s

We operate fast casual restaurants that serve premium sandwiches made with our proprietary breads, along with pizzas, calzones, soups, salads, desserts, and beverages, including alcoholic beverages in some locations. Our restaurants are designed to serve guests looking for a convenient meal with a broader menu than a typical sandwich shop. We operate in a range of formats, including inline and endcap shopping center locations, freestanding restaurants, and smaller non-traditional locations in captive audience settings. Many of our freestanding and endcap restaurants include a drive-thru. Our business is centered on operating a consistent foodservice system with approved recipes, menu items, store designs, and operating standards.
