What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Jersey Mikes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-the-job training time for Day 1 of Phase 2 training varies depending on the training location. If the training is conducted at the Training Center in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, or another designated location in New Jersey, the on-the-job training totals 1.25 hours. However, if the training takes place at various locations outside of New Jersey, the on-the-job training time is 1.0 hour for Day 1.
This distinction in training hours based on location could be due to differences in resources, facility setups, or regional operational nuances. A franchisee should clarify with Jersey Mikes the specific curriculum and focus of the training at each location to understand how these differences might impact their preparation.
Prospective franchisees should also note that these are the on-the-job training hours specifically for Phase 2. The document also mentions Phases 1 and 3, which involve on-the-job training in a designated restaurant for a minimum of 8 weeks each, totaling 180 hours per phase. The daily breakdown of on-the-job training for Phase 1 and 3 is not detailed in this excerpt, but it's important to understand that the initial training is more extensive than just the Day 1 hours listed for Phase 2.
