Jersey Mike's offers a comprehensive training program designed to equip franchisees with the necessary skills and knowledge for successful operation.
This training is structured into three phases, requiring the participation and successful completion by the franchisee's Controlling Principal or designated manager, assistant manager, and shift supervisor before the restaurant opens.
The initial training includes both classroom instruction and hands-on, in-store training, covering all essential aspects of running a Jersey Mike's Restaurant.
Franchisees are responsible for all costs associated with attending the training program, including travel, accommodation, and meals for themselves and their employees.
Franchisees are authorized to operate a Jersey Mike's Restaurant at a specific location referred to as the "Designated Area," as outlined in the Franchise Agreement. The boundaries of this area are determined by factors such as zip code boundaries, county lines, highways, physical landforms, city or municipality limits, and other relevant considerations by the company.
However, franchisees do not receive territorial protection within their Designated Area. Additionally, the company's approval of a restaurant site is based on current factors, including site demographics, proximity to other businesses, neighborhood characteristics, and other criteria that may evolve over time.
