Papa Johns wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for the brilliant people that are part of our team. Nurturing talent and giving staff the opportunities to grow and thrive is at the core of our beliefs. Our people also include our loyal customers who we must be thinking about every step of the way to give them the best-tasting pizza.

The life of a franchisee involves meeting a lot of people so excellent communication skills are vital. From managing staff to interacting with customers the franchisee will face new challenges every day. That is why we help in building strong teams to best serve our valued communities by offering all new and existing franchisees support from a dedicated franchise business manager.

Our Quality Control Center (QCC) located in Milton Keynes, but available online, is where you’ll receive our tried and tested formulas in areas including:

  • Training new staff
  • Marketing – our award-winning UK marketing team will look after national brand awareness on your behalf
  • Product control
  • Pricing

We’re looking for talented individuals that match our core values, and show the entrepreneurial skills and managerial capabilities to run a Papa Johns franchise. We’ve now made it even easier to get a slice of the action by introducing two formats for people that are looking to franchise with us.

If you are looking for a long-term investment opportunity in a sustainable marketplace then you’ll love our traditional multi-store franchise format. These stores are the units you see on the high-street.

We offer businesses the opportunity to partner with us and introduce a Papa Johns unit in their existing setup using our non-traditional format.

Non-traditional format

  • Located at complementary businesses (leisure parks, sporting venues, pubs and restaurants)
  • Collection and casual dining only
  • Reduced or seasonal opening hours
  • Flexible menu. Pizza can be ordered by the slice.

Traditional format

  • Minimum 1000 ft. floor plan
  • Optimized for both delivery and collection
  • Full menu offering, including online ordering
  • Postcode delivery trade zone
