We build brand awareness through our marketing and advertising programs and activities. These activities are supported primarily by contractual
contributions from all company and franchise restaurants based on a percentage of sales. Activities to advertise restaurant products, promote brand awareness
and attract customers include, but are not limited to, regional and local campaigns on television, national cable television, radio and print media, as well as
Internet advertising on specific sites and broad-reach Web portals.

At October 2, 2011, we had approximately 25,700 employees, of whom 23,900 were restaurant employees, 1,200 were corporate personnel, 300 were
distribution employees and 300 were field management or administrative personnel. Employees are paid on an hourly basis, except certain restaurant
managers, operations and corporate 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 have not experienced any significant work stoppages and believe our labor relations are good. Over the last several years, we have realized improvements
in our hourly restaurant employee retention rate. We support our employees, including part-time workers, by offering competitive wages and benefits.
Furthermore, we offer all hourly employees meeting certain minimum service requirements access to health coverage, including vision and dental benefits. As
an additional incentive to our Jack in the Box team members with more than a year of service, we pay a portion of their health insurance premiums. We also
provide our Jack in the Box restaurant employees with a program called “Sed de Saber” (Thirst for Knowledge), an electronic home study program to help
Spanish-speaking restaurant employees improve their English skills. We believe these programs have contributed to lower turnover and training costs.
