Here's a photo of one pizza that I bought, yesterday.

I got the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza, and it was delicious.

It had BBQ as the pizza sauce + pineapple, bacon, onions and chicken, as the toppings.

I haven't had Papa John's, in months! If any of you had the pizza in the photo (like I did), you're real ones in my book.

Also, my mom took two or three little toppings and ate half of the pepper. And I'm pretty sure she'll use the garlic sauce, for something.

Questions:

6 Upvotes

So... ive been working at papa johns for a little over 7 years but dont really know the answers.. so here are some random questions:

  1. Why does the Alfredo sauce say fully cooked on the box? Isn't Alfredo always cooked/does it matter if it is or isn't?šŸ¤”

  2. When using 3 cheese and 2 cheese would they each count as a topping? As in, let's say you are making a pepperoni and 3 cheese pizza. Would you put the 21-15-6 and then 1 blue cup of 3 cheese? Or would it be 15-9-4 and then 1 blue cup of 3 cheese?

  3. How many pepperoni would you put on a medium pizza with +pep+pep+3chz+3chz+2chz+2chz? (I made that order as a pan today and wasn't sure how mamy to put lol)

Halloween and pre orders

8 Upvotes

This will be my 8th Halloween here and 4th as GM. Every year, plan ahead orders kill us. We physically can't see the orders on the screen to even bump them off to dispatch for delivery because of the volume. We had a 250 product hour with 40 deliveries (4 to 5pm) last year with 2 ovens. All plan aheads were late.I know this problem isnt unique to our store on the busiest day of the year. What are your store's strategies for this? Can we turn off the ability to have plan ahead orders?

Halloween Costume Contest

I'm not sure if this is across the US for having the costume contest but does anyone know the rules for the costumes specifically and what to follow? Like if we can do face paint or specific outfits that have to meet the criteria etc

Does anyone know which papa John’s closed in San Antonio? There’s one I rarely go to but I noticed it’s not showing on the app anymore. And I did notice a paper on the door (wasn’t able to go look at it). So basically wondering if it was one of the affected stores shutting down

New employee, advice?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I just got hired. Mostly been doing videos so far.

Any advice working here? I’m just part time to earn some side income, like 25 hours max I think?

So far I think I’m intimidated with the whole slapping the dough stuff. We have a spinner but I don’t see the coworkers using it much.

What can you offer a new employee? Oh and customers being customers is nothing new to me. I’ve worked in retail and food for years. I’m talking like what creates a rush, how you got used to doing things efficiently on the assembly line, etc etc. I’m not a driver.

In Tennesse and minimum wage is still 7.25.

How can we make changes to value our employees, boost morale, which trickles down to customers?

Is the bottom line all that matters?

Why make customers pay employees?

There is a solution. Hope others agree.

Make it make sense

23 Upvotes

Why are they so worried about pizza sauce being a certain temperature but we can put cold Alfredo and ranch on a pizza..
Why all the sudden do the bottles all need to be kept in the walk-in putting cold barbecue sauce or buffalo sauce on wings is stupid . Same with icing .

Why are the desserts good for 14 days even prepped in the walk-in, but because you put it in the makeline now they’re only good for seven . Makes no sense .

Nothing they say makes sense

How do you like the Cheesy Garlic Bread? Or employees how's it selling?

5 Upvotes

I got it a whim one time because it said it was new. I think it's been out for months though. Anyways, it's pretty good I really like it. I think the price is quite reasonable, too.

Employees, do you mind sharing how it's made? Is it just all shipped frozen or is there any fresh assembly going into it?

Thanks.

At my store we don’t prep desserts even on special days and also when they come back do we have to put them on a screen like the video taught us, we didn’t do that last year?

Par Ops

Our system is having major communication issues with PAR OPS and the POS. Imports not working. Major food variances. Some nights we can enter inventory into the POS and have to do so to close. Is it just our store/area or is this happening elsewhere. Advice?

Anyone else dreading making these 18-inch Grand Papa pepperoni pizzas? 😩

23 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks these 18-inch Grand Papa pepperoni pizzas are an absolute nightmare to make? And they’re going on special, so you know we’re going to be making a ton of them! šŸ™„
Whoever thought this was a great idea clearly isn’t the one standing on the makeline during a rush. šŸ˜‚
Seriously, how does everyone else feel about making these things? Am I alone here, or are the rest of you dreading this special too?

Despair and travesty

M18, turning M19 depends on this.

Recently was sick, recovered, craved papa john pizza the entire time. I find out the stores around me were shut, the closest one is 8 miles.

Do papa johns ever do one-off-surprise-miracle-wishlist pizzas for a guy like me?

Is there a way I can still get papa john to knock on my door with pizza?
