Training
Papa John’s assists franchisees by providing training and development solutions that solve business needs. We also assist with new product and equipment deployments as well as the development of trainers and training systems. We will facilitate training, group discussions and developmental activities, and provide comprehensive training programs that consist of classroom education and on-the-job training in a certified training facility.

Restaurant Openings
Papa John’s provides all the assistance our franchisees need to ensure smooth and successful restaurant openings. Our development team helps franchisees determine the ideal site for their restaurants, working with them to review market trade areas and site criteria. Once the proper site has been selected and approved, they will help franchisees through the build-out of the restaurant and ordering of equipment. Because of volume pricing, Papa John’s provides franchisees with the best pricing possible on equipment and food.

Operations
The International Regional Directors provide complete consulting support to international franchise groups. Their focus is to work with each franchisee to create business strategies and tactics that improve the organization’s operations, marketing, people development, and market penetration. Assistance with training and opening of the first two restaurants will be provided. The International Ops team will be the communication link between the franchisee and Papa John’s corporate.

Food and Supply Chain
In each of our international markets, Papa John’s strives to source food products and supplies in-country whenever possible. We have developed numerous partnerships with suppliers in each country, ensuring that our international franchisees receive the highest-quality ingredients and supplies available at the best possible prices.
International franchisees have several options for obtaining fresh pizza dough: They may use an approved third-party bakery for dough production needs; dough can be produced by the franchisee at a back of store facility; or a licensed commissary can be built and run by the franchisee for dough production and distribution.

Marketing
Papa John’s provides an experienced international marketing team for effective planning and development of marketing programs in the field. We also offer assistance in new market menu creation, long-term strategic planning, grand opening planning and many other marketing programs and functions.

Information Services
Papa John’s Information Services (IS.) department offers a wealth of technological resources and knowledge to our international franchise family. Papa John’s restaurant technology solution, the Papa John’s PROFIT SystemTM, is used in our restaurants worldwide, providing a state-of-the-art pizzeria management system. The system is flexible enough to meet the legal and operational needs of our international operators and provides a standard platform for Papa John’s to effectively utilize future advances in technology.

Our IS. team provides installation, training and support services for the PROFIT SystemTM. The Papa John’s Help Desk is dedicated to supporting our restaurant systems and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also provide certification programs to give you the knowledge and tools to create your own installation and support teams.

Quality Management
Papa John’s Quality Management function is made up of three teams: Research and Development (R&D); Quality Assurance (QA); and Quality Control (QC).

  • The R&D team is focused on developing quality products worldwide. This includes developing ways to make existing products better, developing new suppliers to meet our international growth, and developing new products that are on strategy with the Papa John’s brand.
  • The QA team is responsible for maintaining that product quality worldwide. This is accomplished through our supplier audit program and monthly compliance program, where chemical and bake evaluations are performed in our corporate lab for adherence to specification.
  • The QC team is on-site in our dough manufacturing facilities. They ensure all incoming raw ingredients and dough produced meet our specifications before it is shipped to our restaurants.
