The nine steps
We can go as fast as you are willing to go. Each step below has a clear owner on our side, so you always know who you're working with next.
Submit Contact Form
To get started, submit a contact form on our website. Then one of our Franchise Development Directors will be in-touch with more information.
Connect With Our Team
We'll schedule an introduction call to answer questions and walk you through everything you need to know as you begin your journey of owning your very own burger franchise.
Submit Required Documents
After our conversation, we'll send you our required documents to move forward in the process: our Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Initial Inquiry Form, and Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). These documents will give us more insight into your franchising goals and determine next steps.
FDD & Market Point Review
After we receive your Initial Inquiry Form and signed NDA, we'll schedule a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) review call and you'll be able to ask our team questions about this document. We'll also review market points in your desired territory.
Financial Review
During this stage, you'll submit requisite documents to allow us to complete a full financial review along with credit and background checks. See the costs to open a burger franchise on our costs and fees page.
Meet Operations Leadership
After gathering all required documents, we will schedule a time for you to meet with the Jack in the Box Senior Operations Team.
Finalize Development Agreement
We will finalize your franchise development territory and opening schedule. At that time, we will send franchise agreements for you to sign.
Franchise Awarded
After receiving your signed franchise development agreement and your paid initial franchise fees, you will be an official Jack in the Box Franchisee. Congratulations!
Orientation & Training
Your orientation will start with your regional real estate development manager (REDM). They will assist you with navigating the real estate and site selection process. Once you have your site, you will be assigned a regionally based construction manager. They will provide you with CAD drawings of our prototype layout. Prior to opening, your organization will designate two people to complete our 10-to-14 week training program at a certified training restaurant.
