The training program for Jack in the Box franchisees is designed to thoroughly prepare both the franchisee and their employees for successful restaurant operations. Here's an overview of the program:
New Franchise Operator Training Program
Before the restaurant's opening, the Franchise Operator, or a Designated Market Operator if applicable, undergoes pre-opening training. This program spans approximately ten to fourteen weeks (560 hours) and is conducted as needed. Training locations include San Diego, California, Dallas, Texas, or Los Angeles, California, determined by the company.
While the cost of this training is included in the Initial Franchise Fee, franchisees are responsible for travel, living, and personal expenses during the training period.
Certified Franchise Restaurant Manager Training
Prior to the restaurant's opening, one employee receives training to become a Certified Franchise Restaurant Manager. This training occurs in San Diego, California, or sometimes at a location closer to the franchised restaurant. The initial training cost for one restaurant manager per restaurant is covered by the Initial Franchise Fee.
Additional or Refresher Training
The franchisee, Designated Market Operator, and/or one Certified Franchise Restaurant Manager may be required to attend additional or refresher training programs. While these programs are offered at no additional charge, franchisees must cover any travel, living, and personal expenses incurred during the training.
Franchisees receive the right to operate a Jack in the Box restaurant within a designated area. Each location requires a Single Unit Development Agreement, which authorizes the franchisee to build and run a single Jack in the Box restaurant within the specified Development Area. This area may be a specific site or a larger region as outlined in the Agreement.
The Company commits to not granting new Jack in the Box franchises or opening new Jack in the Box restaurants within the Development Area to anyone other than the franchisee. However, if there are already existing Jack in the Box restaurants operated by the Company or other franchisees within the Development Area, exclusivity is not guaranteed.
