IDG's CIO magazine has named Jersey Mike’s Subs as a recipient of the 2015 CIO 100. The 28th annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology, said Maryfran Johnson, editor in chief of CIO magazine & events.

"Our 2015 winners are an outstanding example of the transformative power of IT to drive everything from revenue growth to competitive advantage,” Johnson said.

Jersey Mike’s won for the creation of a single propriety, fully integrated technology platform for complex franchise operations. This centralized POS provides Jersey Mike’s operators of nearly 1,000 locations with a clear roadmap for daily success and allows them to grow revenue, improve profitability, control food and labor costs, leapfrog competitors, break into new markets and improve customer service while allowing the company to adapt quickly to a changing business environment, said Scott Scherer, CIO, Jersey Mike’s.

“Even though as a brand we’re nearly 60 years old, we pride ourselves on the advantages of cutting-edge technology to support our franchise owners,” he said. “Jersey Mike’s has more than doubled in size in just three years, and we recognized as we grew that we needed a single POS written, designed and controlled by the company. This has been invaluable in allowing Jersey Mike’s to react quickly to changes related to procedures and laws while driving top line sales, improving product quality and reducing bottom line costs.”
