Schlotzsky's

Schlotzsky's is a fast-casual restaurant chain that primarily offers toasted sandwiches, salads, soups, and baked goods. It serves customers in the United States through a mix of corporate-owned and franchised locations. The menu centers on its signature original sandwich, which features a toasted bun with layers of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. In addition to sandwiches, the chain provides side items such as chips, fruit, and desserts, as well as breakfast options in some markets. The company focuses on providing a quick-service dining experience with an emphasis on freshly prepared food.

Schlotzsky's is known for its distinctive toasted sandwich preparation method, which sets it apart from many traditional sub shops. The brand operates under the ownership of Focus Brands, a larger franchising company that also owns other well-known restaurant chains. This relationship provides Schlotzsky's with shared operational support, marketing resources, and supply chain advantages. The organization's headquarters is located in the United States, and it maintains a presence across multiple states through its network of franchised and corporate stores. The 2019 payment card breach incident highlighted vulnerabilities in its point-of-sale systems, affecting both corporate and franchised sites and leading to customer notifications and a location‑specific lookup tool.
