Abstract
Papa John’s is a multinational publicly traded company
that previous operated out of Louisville, KY with new operations now taking
place in Atlanta, GA. Papa John’s focuses and operates in the pizza delivery
and servicing industry. The purpose of this analysis is to identify strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats throughout Papa John’s business model
while also offering strategic alternatives. These alternatives are used as
guidance to allow Papa John’s to garner increased profits for shareholders and
a larger market presence in a heavily saturated pizza delivery industry. Papa
John’s has been one of the major players in the food delivery industry but has
historically been dominated by other pizza delivery brands such as Domino’s,
Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar’s Pizza. Many of the opportunities and threats
identified in this analysis stem from Papa John’s position in the pizza
delivery market.
