What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Jersey Mikes Franchise Disclosure Document, while there is mention of 'Cooling' within the context of 'Bread and Cookie Baking,' the document does not provide specific details or steps involved in the bread cooling process. The FDD excerpt references a section on bread and cookie baking that includes subsections on receiving, storage, product specifications (covering thawing, proofing, and baking), cooling, storage after baking, and usage.
Because the specific steps for bread cooling are not detailed, it is important for a prospective franchisee to discuss the exact cooling procedures with Jersey Mikes. Understanding these procedures is crucial for maintaining the quality and consistency of the bread, which is a key component of Jersey Mike's sandwiches.
Specifically, a potential franchisee should ask Jersey Mikes about the required equipment, temperature ranges, and timeframes for cooling the bread to meet Jersey Mike's standards. This information would likely be covered in the initial training program or operations manual, as these resources typically provide detailed guidance on food preparation and handling procedures.
