According to a recent survey of Gen Z issued by QDOBA, just 11% of people believe Valentine's Day is strictly for romantic relationships. In its research, the fast-casual Mexican restaurant also found that more than half of Gen Z survey participants are open to dining at their favorite quick-service restaurant instead of fine dining. For this reason, on February 14th, QDOBA is offering Rewards members a free entrée when they buy an entrée and a drink. This one-day-only offer can be claimed in-restaurant, as well as online and through the QDOBA app.
Anyone can sign up to be a QDOBA Rewards member—even on Valentine's Day—to take advantage of this offer and as an added perk, anyone who does sign up will get a free side of chips and queso.
