Where can I find information on preparing bacon at Jersey Mikes?

According to the 2025 Jersey Mikes Franchise Disclosure Document, specific details regarding bacon preparation are not explicitly outlined. However, Item 22 discusses several key aspects related to food preparation and standards.

Jersey Mikes franchisees are obligated to adhere to the recipes, cooking techniques, and processes designated by the franchisor for all menu items. These recipes, cooking techniques, and processes are considered integral to the Jersey Mikes system, and failure to comply with them could be detrimental to the brand. The Franchise Agreement does not grant franchisees the right to use Jersey Mike's trade secrets or confidential information, including methods of food preparation, product formulas, and operating procedures, except as described in the agreement.

Further information is available in the Confidential Operations Manual, accessible online, which contains System Standards, specifications, operating procedures, and rules for Jersey Mike's restaurants. This manual includes proprietary information and must be kept confidential during and after the franchise term. Franchisees are responsible for ensuring that any copy of the manual available at the premises is current and up-to-date. While the FDD does not specifically mention bacon preparation, it emphasizes the importance of following the franchisor's guidelines and maintaining confidentiality regarding operational procedures.
