management, and certain administrative personnel. We employ both full and part-time restaurant employees in
order to provide the flexibility necessary during peak periods of restaurant operations.
We are building an organization of people who are “Brand Ambassadors” and passionate about delivering on
Jack’s promise of superior service. We have not experienced any significant work stoppages and believe our labor
relations are good. Over the last few years, we have realized improvements in our hourly restaurant employee
retention rate and in 2005, we received the Spirit Award, an honor awarded by Nation’s Restaurant News and the
National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation to the restaurant companies with the most innovative
workforce programs for enhancing employee satisfaction. We support our employees, including part-time workers,
by offering competitive wages, competitive benefits, including a pension plan for all of our employees meeting
certain requirements, and discounts on dining. Furthermore, in September 2004, JACK IN THE BOX began offering all
hourly employees meeting certain minimum service requirements access to health coverage, including vision and
dental benefits. As an additional incentive to crew members with more than a year of service, we will pay a portion
of their premiums. In fiscal 2005, we also introduced a program called “Sed de Saber” (Thirst for Knowledge), an
electronic home study program to assist Spanish-speaking restaurant employees in improving their English skills.
We expect these programs will further reduce turnover, as well as training costs and workers’ compensation claims.
