GoTo Foods has partnered with Favor, a Texas‑based on‑demand delivery platform, to bring five of its brands – Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli and Schlotzsky’s – to the Favor app. The rollout covers more than 550 Texas locations and begins this summer.
“Texas continues to be a key growth market for many of our brands, and this partnership allows us to expand access and convenience for guests while supporting stronger delivery economics for franchisees,” said Mike Freeman, EVP and president of brands at GoTo Foods.
“We believe the future of delivery is rooted in flexibility, regional relevance and strong unit‑level economics. Partnering with Favor allows us to strengthen all three while meeting consumers where they are.”
Favor serves more than 400 cities across Texas with a network of more than 100,000 runners (contract delivery drivers). The partnership makes GoTo Foods one of the largest restaurant portfolios available on Favor. Benefits include more predictable and affordable delivery costs for guests, expanded access to GoTo Foods brands across Texas, and lower commission structures with increased pricing flexibility for franchisees.
“We’re proud to partner with GoTo Foods to expand delivery access statewide across several of their most beloved brands,” said Zach Nienow, VP of revenue and strategic partners at Favor.
“Our integrated partnership streamlines operations for a faster and better customer experience – all backed by the convenience and local expertise only a Texas‑born‑and‑bred delivery service can provide.”
GoTo Foods brands will continue operating across major third‑party delivery platforms alongside Favor as part of a multi‑platform strategy.
“This partnership reflects how we think about growth and innovation across our business,” Freeman added. “We’re focused on building strategic partnerships that improve the guest experience, strengthen franchisee economics and support sustainable long‑term growth across our brands.”
