Life today can be fast paced and time for lunch can be limited so being able to serve quality meals quickly will be a major feature for attracting lunchtime customers.

On the other hand, the family friendly atmosphere at Cactus Jacks opens up an even wider market for the brand where children of all ages are welcome, allowing you to maximise your turnover and profits as a Cactus Jacks franchise owner.

Customers want value for money and that’s exactly what you will offer as a Cactus Jacks franchisee.

Why Choose Cactus Jacks?

The Cactus Jacks business model is based around a highly themed casual dining restaurant in the fast-growing sector of ‘Tex-Mex’ cuisine. Cactus Jacks gives customers a wide range of eating options such as ribs, nachos, tortillas and enchiladas, as well as the ever-popular burgers and salads.

As food is delivered to the table quickly, customer service is central to the Cactus Jacks offering. The restaurants are fully licensed and serve a variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Our interior sets us apart from others and is a talking point for visitors of all ages. From the extensive collection of ‘Wild West’ memorabilia on display throughout the restaurant, through to a ‘jail cell’ dining option, (particularly popular with children), there will always be something to catch your guests eye no matter how often they visit.


Additional income will be gained by offering an ‘at home’ eating service via the major delivery partners, giving customers the unique Cactus Jacks menu experience at home.
