JS Fort Group, Inc is an independently owned and operated franchise of the Jimmy John’s Franchise, LLC system. Unlike working with the franchisor, SPV, LLC, JS Fort Group, Inc operates independently and is responsible for all its hiring decisions and employment-related matters for the restaurants they operate. Jimmy John’s is a well-known sandwich restaurant that has been serving fresh, high-quality sandwiches made with all-natural meats and fresh veggies sliced in-house daily since 1983. The company is committed to providing a flavorful and satisfying experience with fresh-baked bread made on-site, house-made tuna salad, and fresh ingredients including tomatoes, lettuce, real Hellmann’s mayo, and more. This dedication to quality and freshness is what Jimmy John’s refers to as "Jimmy Fresh!"

The Delivery Driver role at JS Fort Group, Inc represents an exciting opportunity for individuals who enjoy a dynamic customer service environment coupled with flexible work hours. Delivery Drivers can expect to earn a competitive wage with the ability to take home more than $25 an hour through a combination of tips, a driver maintenance reimbursement (DMR), and their hourly pay. The flexibility in shifts, ranging from short 11 am to 2 pm windows to longer lunch and dinner runs, makes it convenient for various schedules, appealing to students, part-timers, or anyone looking for work that fits into their lifestyle.

As a Delivery Driver, the primary responsibility is to swiftly and safely deliver sandwiches to customers while ensuring the orders are correct and complete. This involves mastering the most efficient delivery routes, maintaining a friendly and helpful attitude, and adhering to safety and traffic laws at all times. An important aspect of the job is the customer service component; completing deliveries with a smile and positive interaction can greatly influence tip earnings and overall job satisfaction.

When not on the road, Delivery Drivers are expected to assist within the store by preparing sandwiches, taking orders, and helping with cleaning tasks. This ensures that all team members are versatile and contribute to the store’s smooth operation. Employees working as Delivery Drivers are compensated fairly for both in-shop and delivery duties.
