Arlington, VA —January 7, 2026 — Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK), has completed a systemwide deployment of Qu’s unified commerce platform across its over 2,100 restaurants, marking one of the fastest full-scale POS transformations in the quick-service industry.
The modernization comes at a critical inflection point for QSRs, as brands face cost pressures and legacy technology systems that can’t keep up with today’s demands. Jack in the Box is using this moment to reshape its future. Through its “Jack on Track” plan and shift to an asset-light model, the company is simplifying its business, improving financial strength, and investing in technology that enables operational agility, digital expansion, and long-term resiliency.
The new platform is already delivering measurable impact:
- Higher check averages driven by digital kiosks and smarter upsells
- Training time cut by more than half, reducing onboarding from days to hours
- Stronger uptime, with restaurants able to operate through network or cloud outages
- Real-time visibility into sales, inventory, and performance for franchisees and corporate leaders
The deployment replaces a decades-old legacy system that slowed menu updates, lacked digital ordering support, and created operational drag across the organization. With Qu’s cloud-deployed and edge-enabled architecture, Jack in the Box can now run every order channel—drive-thru, kiosk, counter, app, and delivery—on one unified data backbone.
The rollout also lays the foundation for next-generation initiatives, including AI-driven analytics, more personalized digital ordering, and expanded kiosk adoption. Jack in the Box expects digital sales to climb toward 20 percent and beyond.
