What is the requirement for Jersey Mikes franchisee employees who have access to confidential information?

According to Jersey Mikes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all employees who have access to confidential information, agreements, or other proprietary information must sign confidentiality agreements. These agreements must have confidentiality obligations that are no less stringent than those contained in the Franchise Agreement itself. This requirement ensures that Jersey Mikes's sensitive business information remains protected.

This means a prospective Jersey Mikes franchisee must ensure that all employees who will be exposed to confidential information, such as recipes, operational procedures, or customer data, are bound by a confidentiality agreement. The franchisee is responsible for implementing and enforcing these agreements.

Jersey Mikes retains the right to seek legal remedies, including equitable relief, for any violation of the confidentiality terms outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This underscores the importance of adhering to these confidentiality requirements to protect the brand's proprietary information and maintain the integrity of the Jersey Mikes system.
