What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Jersey Mikes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specific cooling procedures for cookies are addressed within the Bread and Cookie Baking section of the Confidential Operations Manual. The manual includes a section on 'Cooling' as part of the broader baking process.
As a prospective franchisee, it's important to understand that Jersey Mikes maintains strict control over operational procedures, and these are detailed in the Confidential Operations Manual. Franchisees are required to adhere to these standards, which are integral to the Jersey Mikes system. The manual is accessible online and may include various formats such as videos and written materials.
While the FDD mentions that cooling procedures are specified, it does not provide the actual steps. Therefore, a potential franchisee should review the Confidential Operations Manual carefully during the due diligence process to fully understand the required cooling procedures for cookies and ensure they can comply with these standards. It would be prudent to ask Jersey Mikes for access to a sample manual or to clarify any specific concerns about baking and cooling procedures before signing the franchise agreement.
