🔔🌮HRG Year in Review: 2026 🌮🔔

by Danielle Rafte

2026 was a year of momentum for our HRG Team. From busy drive-thrus to behind-the-scenes teamwork, our focus stayed on delivering great food, great service, and a welcoming experience for every guest.

🌯 Highlights from the Year

Across our locations, teams raised the bar with faster service, stronger guest satisfaction, and meaningful growth. We celebrated promotions and anniversaries and welcomed new team members who strengthened our culture and operations.

Giving back remained a priority as well. Through fundraisers, partnerships, and community events, we continued supporting the communities we serve. This year, we donated over $500k to local organizations through the Taco Bell Foundation Round Up program.

🏆 Investing in Our People

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. This year, we proudly recognized team members through the following programs and awards:

🎓 Taco Bell Live Más Scholarship – The Live Más Scholarship is awarded based on an individual’s passions rather than academic or athletic achievements. Recipients are selected based on their passion, work history, and future goals. In 2025, 17 employees received scholarships totaling $230,000.

📚 HRG Employee Scholarship – Since 2015, HRG has awarded 15 Scholarships a year to empower them to achieve their educational goals.
