At Desert De Oro Foods (DDO), we’re passionate about providing guests with an exceptional experience. That’s why we’re elated to share news about our latest achievements on the Taco Bell side of the business, just one of our famous brands.
The following DDO Taco Bells have been recognized as Signature Restaurants, the highest achievement within the system. To secure the coveted “signature” designation, restaurants need to maintain five-star status all year and be a part of the top 2% of Taco Bells nationwide. In addition, we celebrate having several of our restaurant leaders make Golden Bell status as top 100 managers and coaches. They won a trip to Hawaii!
A special shout out to Area Coach Sheila Roberts, who not only made Golden Bell but was instrumental in developing and inspiring two other winners below in going after the gold.
”To have three RGMs and an AC out of Utah was a nice bump in our totals,” says Fred Bendel, VP of Operations. Fred says the biggest change in DDO standings this year is more representation out of Utah.
Without further ado, congratulations to these award winners!
