What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Jersey Mikes Franchise Disclosure Document, the bread baking process includes several key stages. These stages are listed under the general topic of "Bread and Cookie Baking" and include receiving, storage, product specifications, thawing, proofing, baking, cooling, storage after baking and usage. The product specifications section further details the thawing, proofing, and baking instructions.
Prospective franchisees should note that Jersey Mikes provides specific guidelines and standards for these processes to ensure consistency and quality across all franchise locations. Adhering to these standards is crucial, as the FDD emphasizes the importance of maintaining the System's standards for food products.
While the FDD excerpt lists the stages of bread baking, it does not provide detailed instructions for each step. Franchisees will receive comprehensive training and access to the Jersey Mike's manual, which will elaborate on each stage. It would be beneficial for potential franchisees to inquire about the specifics of each stage during the due diligence process to fully understand the time, equipment, and labor involved.
