What is the total classroom training time for Day 1 of Jersey Mikes training?

According to Jersey Mikes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the classroom training time for Day 1 depends on the training location. For Phase 2 training in New Jersey, there are 6.5 hours of classroom training and 1.25 hours of on-the-job training on Day 1. The subjects covered include Manifesto and Culture, and Team Building and Establishing Culture. For Phase 2 In-Market training, which takes place at various locations outside of New Jersey, there are 6.25 hours of classroom training and 1 hour of on-the-job training on Day 1. The subjects covered include Welcome to Phase 2, Introductions, Creating Change and Growth, Intro to the Planning Process, Jersey Mike’s Tradition and History, Manifesto and Culture, and Team Building and Establishing Culture.

These figures are important for prospective franchisees as they plan their training schedule and allocate their time. The initial training program is extensive, and franchisees must successfully complete it to Jersey Mike's satisfaction. The company may extend training if a trainee is not successful in completing a phase according to company standards. Franchisees are responsible for covering all expenses incurred during training, including travel and accommodation.

Understanding the time commitment for each day of training allows franchisees to prepare adequately and manage their other responsibilities effectively. The different locations for Phase 2 training also mean that the content and focus may vary slightly, so franchisees should be aware of the specific curriculum for their assigned training location. The distinction between classroom and on-the-job training is also important, as it indicates the balance between theoretical learning and practical application during the training process.
