1.8 The SUBWAY® Product
At THE COMPANY, the integrity of the SUBWAY® product is central to our success. Our brand reputation and guest satisfaction rely on consistently providing fresh, high-quality food, prepared according to established standards. Every Team Member has a direct role in protecting and delivering this promise.
Commitment to Quality and Freshness
- We insist on the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients in all menu items.

- Food that does not meet freshness, safety, or quality standards must never be served.
Pride in the Product
- Team Members are expected to take personal pride in the food they prepare and serve.
- Pride is evident to guests and directly impacts their perception of quality, service, and cleanliness.
- Care, attention to detail, and professionalism must be demonstrated in every step of food preparation and service.
Professional Standards

- These standards ensure professionalism, consistency, and fairness, while supporting positive relationships between guests and Team Members.
- Any deviation from established food preparation procedures is prohibited unless specifically authorized by THE COMPANY or SUBWAY® corporate standards.
Standardization and Consistency
- Standardization is essential to the SUBWAY® brand. Guests must be able to expect the same high-quality product at every location.
- All SUBWAY® restaurants are required to adhere to the official SUBWAY® preparation procedures, portion controls, and presentation standards.
- Failure to comply with these procedures may result in corrective action, up to and including termination, as product integrity is a non-negotiable condition of employment.
