But as for his business model..... can you people read an income statement?


https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PZZA/financials?p=PZZA


2014: annual income of more than $73 million
2015: annual income of more than $75 million
2016: annual income of more than $102 million


And despite the NFL thing, he's wildly profitable so far in 2017 as well.
If that is a 'bad business model"..... I'd like you to tell me a good one.
I'm waiting.

No, and they don't know the difference between publicly whining and reporting to shareholders during an earnings call. They also can't compute that a drop in sales at the top may be no big deal but to the franchisee who is a small business owner, it can be a problem.

All of which is fine if they'd pay attention and perhaps learn something, but they're too damn stubborn to admit they don't know what they don't know.

Hopefully they'll stick to discussing pizza.

^ No, it's incorrect. Sicilian pizza and tomato pie can be very good.

Can't we all just get along? Lol, I like both thin and thick crust pizza (Sicilian and Chicago Deep Dish). It's all good 👍😊

So, they don't pay the delivery drivers? Why would they drive for free?

As an ex-delivery driver, though not for PJ; it generally works like this. The driver gets a tipped minimum wage, which is usually a couple bucks per hour below the normal minimum wage, with tips expected to more than make up the difference. The pizza place charges customers a delivery fee, generally $3 these days. $1 goes to the driver per delivery, for gas and wear and tear on their cars, and the other $2 goes to the business, since the average delivery has a driver outside the store for about 20 mins; meaning they can't be making pizzas, folding boxes, boxing orders, taking phone calls or washing dishes; it pays the store for the time they are paying the driver while they aren't in the store

If PapaJohns were left wing, the OP and "think progress" would be blabbering about how great their pizza is. Libs are so easily led.

To me, Pizza has to be eaten with a fork and knife. If I can lift it up and eat it without intensional, it’s not a pizza. It’s just an opened calzone.

That sounds like their train of thought...
