    About this ebook

    Papa John’s Pizza intentionally diverts its business practices away from its written core values. Its core values, though important, are only used as a duplicitous guile; a tool to squeeze as much utility and profit from every single employee, from every single customer, and from every single pizza. What it says is a lie and how it operates is hypocrisy. Ultimately, hypocrisy undermines the confidence of its customers and the integrity of its employees. This is what Papa John’s does.

      My career in coffee started in a chain café when I was about 15 years old. Looking back now on the quality of the coffee I was making back then, I am pretty surprised that I actually took a liking to drinking it. At this point in time, I certainly di

      Dedicated to the hard working employees of Papa John’s Pizza - past and present.

      In Memoriam:

      Champlin Papa John’s

      I write to express my concern over the hypocritical business practices of the Papa John’s International Pizza Corporation. This is not a sycophantic appeal. It is merely a means of personal formulation; to take from the good and reconsider the bad; to acknowledge what I have witnessed and utilize from which I can gain. It does not originate from malice or spite, but from misunderstanding and curiosity. I do not understand how a company can be successful through the business practices I have witnessed. It confounds me how the foundation of any such company can be agreed upon and fostered by such immoveable and uncompromising means. Essentially, as I see it, the written and expressed values of Papa John’s Pizza appear to bear little or no significance toward the actual operations of the company. Throughout the following, I wish to present the hypocritical business practices of Papa John’s Pizza. This is not an attempt to reveal those practices, but rather a means to publicize the intentions of Papa John’s Pizza regardless of the necessity to do so. This is a manifesto, not of personal intent, but of personal experience; to express what is done, but which is never said.

      Before I begin, I will like to establish some credibility. I will not chronicle my entire life with Papa John’s. I could not possibly recall all of it and neither could it be recreated. My story begins in December of 1998 when I was sixteen years old. A Papa John’s Pizza was being built in the new mall in my town. At the time, Papa John’s was a young and growing company in the state of Minnesota. I knew little about the company and had enjoyed their product only one time before. But, I needed a job, and along with my twin brother, I applied at Papa John’s. I was
