QDOBA Salutes Class of 2025 Grads With Free Food and Festive Queso Cap
The Class of 2025 can wear their love for QDOBA atop their heads via a new contest.
QDOBA is celebrating the Class of 2025 with free food and a fun queso graduation cap via a one-of-a-kind giveaway.
The Mexican-inspired fast-food restaurant is offering grads the ultimate way to wear their devotion to their favorite snack atop their head. Per a press release, five graduates will win this one-of-a-kind accessory just in time for their big day, a chips and queso graduation cap, which is designed to hold a “personal stash of signature queso and chips.”
Grads can win this unique topper by commenting on the brand’s giveaway post on TikTok or Instagram with their school name and the hashtag #QDOBASweepstakes. The contest rules stipulate that entrants must also follow the eatery on Instagram and TikTok. Contest closes at midnight on May 15.
Additionally, the five winners will receive free QDOBA for a year. Each will receive a $500 gift card, which will roughly cover 25 visits with an order value of $20 each.
“Graduating is a huge accomplishment. But let’s be honest, those hours-long ceremonies can leave you hungry,” said Kelsey Kraatz, Sr. Manager of National Media for the brand. “We’re excited to help grads celebrate with a fun way to enjoy their favorite chips and queso in style and kick off ‘adulting’ with free QDOBA for a year, keeping the party (and the snacks) going well beyond graduation day.”
QDOBA Honors Graduates With Flavorful Rewards Year After Year
QDOBA has consistently celebrated graduates with flavorful promotions and giveaways. In 2023, the brand hosted a “Grad Party Giveaway,” offering ten lucky high school or college graduates a 50-person Hot Bar catering package to elevate their celebrations.
Building on this, the 2024 “QDOBA x Jarritos Graduation Giveaway” provided winners with a comprehensive prize package. The gifts included a 50-person Hot Bar, four 24-packs of Jarritos, a co-branded mini fridge, and a $100 Visa gift card.
Beyond giveaways, the restaurant has offered practical promotions for gift-giving. In 2013, customers who purchased a $30 Q-Cash gift card received a free entrée coupon, making it a popular gift choice for graduates.
Additionally, QDOBA’s customizable Hot Bar catering service has been a go-to option for graduation parties, providing a stress-free and flavorful solution for celebratory gatherings. These initiatives highlight QDOBA’s commitment to making graduation celebrations memorable with delicious offerings and thoughtful promotions.
