Qdoba restaurant opened their new restaurant on Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh and asked us to solve their signage needs with custom window graphics. Exterior signs were not permitted on this particular building, but our client wanted to showcase the Qdoba brand as much as possible to highlight the restaurant’s location. So we created interior window graphics that could be seen from outside of the restaurant.
Qdoba is a fast casual restaurant in the United States serving Mexican-style cuisine. Their bold and distinctive restaurants specialize in delivering flavor fueled, customizable entrees. As of today, there are over 700 restaurants across the nation.
The photos show the storefront window graphics we installed at the Grant Street location in Pittsburgh. Included are shots of the vibrant designs created to showcase Qdoba’s brand and logo.
Since our client was not able to place signage on the exterior of the building, we discussed multiple options and decided to place window graphics on the inside of the windows. To prepare, we consulted with the restaurant owner several times, both by phone and in-store, to ensure we had the best sign 
option. We started by carefully measuring the window areas – there were six in total- four of which had large graphics on the top and a shorter band on the bottom. After Qdoba’s corporate office sent us the art files we printed the vibrant graphics. To ensure the signs were visible both inside and outside the restaurant, we added a “block-out” layer and then an additional layer of graphics so the images faced both directions.
Our client appreciated us working within his schedule and was very happy with the end result. He was remodeling the location and had a tight window of time for us to install the graphics, which included a weekend.
