QDOBA Teams Up with Craftsman to Bring Precision to Your DIY Projects – And Lunch!
San Diego, CA – October 26, 2023 – You know QDOBA Mexican Eats for fresh, flavorful, and fully customizable bowls, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. What you might not know is that the folks behind QDOBA – QDOBA FRANCHISOR LLC, headquartered in San Diego – are also big fans of getting their hands dirty. And today, they're thrilled to announce an unexpected, yet incredibly practical partnership with iconic tool brand, Craftsman! It sounds a little weird, right? A fast-casual Mexican food chain teaming up with a power tool company? But trust us, there’s a method to the madness. QDOBA believes in empowering you to create exactly what you want – whether it’s the perfect customized meal or a beautiful, hand-crafted project. That’s why they’re shining a spotlight on the Craftsman Drill Press – a tool that embodies that same spirit of control and customization. More Than Just Chips and Guac: QDOBA’s Commitment to Craftsmanship “At QDOBA, we’re all about giving our guests the power to build their perfect meal,” explains David Black, spokesperson for QDOBA FRANCHISOR LLC. “You choose your base, your protein, your toppings… it's your creation! We realized that same feeling of satisfaction comes from tackling a DIY project, and we wanted to celebrate that. Craftsman has been a trusted name in tools for generations, and their Drill Press really clicked with our values.” You might be wondering, “Okay, but what does a Drill Press have to do with burritos?” Think about it. Both are about precision and control. You carefully select each ingredient for your QDOBA bowl, just like you carefully select the bit and adjust the settings on a Drill Press to achieve the perfect result. Both require a little bit of know-how, but the payoff – a delicious meal or a well-made project – is totally worth it. The Craftsman Drill Press: Your DIY Game Changer So, let's talk about the star of the show: the Craftsman Drill Press. This isn't your grandpa's dusty old drill press (though it could be!). The modern Craftsman Drill Press is packed with features that make it a breeze for both beginners and experienced DIYers. “We’ve been getting a lot of feedback from our franchise owners about wanting to improve the look and feel of their restaurants,” Black adds. “Everything from building custom display cases to repairing equipment – the Drill Press is a lifesaver. And we figured, if it's helping them create, it could help our guests too!” Here's what makes the Craftsman Drill Press stand out: Rock-Solid Stability: Forget wobbly messes. This Drill Press is built with a heavy-duty base that keeps everything steady, even when you're working on tougher materials. It's built to last, just like QDOBA's commitment to quality ingredients. Variable Speed Control: From delicate precision work to more aggressive drilling, you can adjust the speed to match the material and the task at hand. Think of it like choosing your salsa – mild, medium, or hot! Laser Guide: No more wandering drill bits! The built-in laser guide helps you line up your shots with pinpoint accuracy. It's like having a perfectly placed scoop of guacamole on every bite. Easy-to-Use Depth Adjustment: Need to drill holes to a specific depth? No problem! The easy-to-use depth adjustment allows you to set it and forget it. It’s all about consistency, whether you're building a birdhouse or making a perfect layered burrito. Versatile Functionality: The Craftsman Drill Press isn’t just for drilling holes. With the right attachments, you can use it for sanding, polishing, and even routing.
