Fucking A. Despite Free Market American Capitalism being a demon the former entrepreneurial dreams and hard work that were once possible in America were admirable as heck. The dumpster diving is simply genius ingenuity. How can you not admire that
John got such bad press for his big game hunting but after hearing this story, I cant help but respect the hard work and determination he had. What a great channel.
I worked for papa johns from 2011 until a few months ago. From being on register only to delivering, then back inside making pizzas.. managing.. then I became a GM in 2017. I quit this year. You want real hard facts? John was the company. Hate him or love him, he made the company what it was. It has been a steady decline since 2018 when he was ejected. The only thing that saved PJs was covid. Corporate greed slowly downgraded food, upped expectations, they upped waged while shitting on the General Managers. Now they spawn out new products that make life more and more difficult on the instore workers just to try everything possible to stay afloat and try to hold on to what covid brought in... For real. You want to talk about the company having shitty pizza? John had standards and had people from corporate coming monthly, and at random, to make sure stores were holding their quality standards. There is no standard now. It's slowly going away because veteran GMs are being ran ragged and shortcutting to not lose their minds, and most are quitting. So those standards that were ingrained in us are disappearing from the stores, because we were the only ones that still pushed them.
I used to work at Papa John's as a driver in Dallas, you could easily make over $55,000 a year equivalent until Papa John's kept trying to cut cost at the customers and employees expense. They pushed hard for you to favor Papa John's on your 401K saying that it always goes up but they tried to avoid downturn but cutting cost, drivers could take two deliveries at a time which did not work in busy stores so orders would go late and they wanted managers to cut labor. The reason behind the 2 orders at a time was to keep drivers on road more making $4.50 instead of $7.50 when in the stores. UberEATS and door dash would have hurt them anyways but it was sad to see them self destruct bringing down such a good thing.
I was a driver till i fully retired in 2015...so 2011 till late 2015...made good money till around 2013/2014 when John became more and more vocal on political stances he tried to push onto people...being in a blue state customers simply boycotted the store...before that time i easily made around 75-100 in tips and delivery fees..think we got a dollar per delivery plus tips...luckily being in a blue state my hourly didnt waver in store or on a run...so i made i think 8.70 when i started and 10 when i retired...(increase of min wage) so usually i would make about 75-100 then my hourly on top...but when he became so vocal i was only saved due to the fact i was a closing driver so was able to keep my hours and still have some decent runs after the rush drivers left...the business plummeted though and the store closed i want to say in 2016-2017...second issue was the pay for in-store...the asst store managers made maybe a dollar above min wage and store managers didnt fare much better...lost 2 good store managers in my time and only takes one bad to ruin a store...cant have a successful business if the spokesman disenfranchises have its customers...so for me and my store Johns ego ruined us
Actually I deliver for door dash and it’s not as popular as one would think. In the three years I’ve been delivering I’ve literally only had two or three orders from papa johns, any pizza place really.

A long time ago papa johns was hands down the best pizza. Once I tried it I was sold for life. Well, now after they changed to the worst and cheapest ingredients they could find in china the pizza is just a tad bit better than Kroger's brand frozen pizzas. Its horrible, I never eat it anymore.
...I'm trying to remember correctly... I think it was 1996 when I first tried it at my Aunt & Uncles house: I was blown away !!! ...Do you remember when you 1st tried them ?
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I grew up right outside of Cincinnati Ohio and was born in 90, so I've had it my entire life - but somewhere around the year 2000 the taste took a dive.. and since then it's fallen off of a cliff! But I remember it was still decent in the 00's - not like it is now. That Hamilton Ohio location my family ordered from opened around 94' I think - and I remember when it did, because my dad refused to order from anywhere else. Right next to the laundromat we used and across from the nickel, dime and quarter candy store and generic video rental store. Great times. Raid the floors and change return slots in the laundromat, walk over to the candy store and come out like a bandit LOL; go home and watch some VHS's and eat papa johns. I'm pretty sure every summer from 94-98' we followed that same routine on laundry day.
Yep after 2014 or so it fell off baaaaad! It's definitely cheap ingredients now it's terrible. I miss the quality ingredients and sweet sauce....now the sauce is tangy tasting, cheese has no flavor, toppings straight trash
Channels like this are what make and keep TH-cam an amazing platform. Incredible, inspiring stories. New perspectives and top it off, highly motivating....keep up the world class work!
Naw, he's the one who made it a publicly traded company. He could've kept it privately owned, and nobody could've done anything, but he saw a route to more money and took it. The board decided he became a bigger hindrance than benefit and fired him. That's business. Also, John Schnatter's a POS even if you ignore his racism. He deserves no pity.
Which is funny because they got rid of Aunt Jemima, Land O lakes. It's okay though they will go down, just like every other rich person. They will die just like us. No amount of money can save you.
That's actually pretty typical in most organizations: You have to promote the most lazy, incompetent people into management because you cannot afford to lose the hard-working people who are actually getting all the grunt work done for you. Those hard-working people are much more difficult to replace.
I see the real moral of this story is: There's no such thing as a "Mom & Pop" restaurant chain while also being a mega franchise with stock shares in a public company. Eventually, they always have to cut corners and costs of operating. John wasn't betrayed by business associates, he betrayed his own core business values while being hypocritical.
Our age has reached a conclusion in the wake of arriving at its zenith. The downturn and financial exchange crashes are influencing everything, not simply FTX and 401Ks. My retirement values portfolio, at $750K, is bleeding cash. I'm continually losing because of expansion. This world will disintegrate under its authoritarian rulers, similarly as. Assuming you are contemplating resigning yet are concerned that your annuity won't take care of the increasing expense of living, I am sorry. All over the planet, there are poor administrative, monetary, and energy approaches as well as awful international strategies.
We are currently in the jaws of the worst bear markets I have seen, the average stock has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
@@cheery-hex Jake Tran also covered meaningful things. They cover practically the same thing; corruption/downfalls of companies. They both make videos covering the dark sides to companies.
I live in a small city in Canada, I feel like by the time we got a papa John's here the feeling of caring had passed, now Mr Poppa looks like a greased up pizza himself
Fantastic content, by far the best business documentaries both online and on TV. Well done, fantastic productions ,concise, interesting and very entertaining. I can't believe, that I have binge watched your videos for three days straight. Well Done!
I had papa johns for the first time 2 weeks ago, their dough is more like a sandwich, nothing like a pizza at all. After forcing that pepperoni "pizza" down, i was still craving pizza but had a full stomach. 0/10 experience. Will never order again.
The video sequence around the 8 minute mark is perfect for that part of the story and really pulls you in.. brilliant video editing once again and certainly one of the best channels on youtube💯
The price of going mega huge leaves you open to hostile takeover. I understand that John is ambitious and a high risk high reward kind of guy. If he would have settled for less and remained a private company this would not have happened. The other thing, you have a right to say what you want and people have a right to react to what you say too.
15:40 Yep, absolutely moronic advice. Going Public isn't about raising capitol for expansion at all... It's a strategy to pay off the initial investors. Furthermore, it's said in the video that *_Papa John's_* was worth $344 million in one day, but what they conveniently failed to mention was the amount of capitol that they raised with their IPO.
the n word thing blown out of so much proportion it was crazy and John over corrected it by leaving. And the poison pill policy that came afterwards was equally idiotic.
As an Ex Manager of Papa Johns in Austin Texas I can say that the quality control was at its best during the pandemic. Unfortunately the higher ups don’t care how much or how hard or even how smart you work. All that matters to them is being able to sit an look @ numbers instead of actually helping the employees that are being over worked. We had a location close down for remodeling an they made our store make pizzas for carryout and delivery outside our delivery range. It’s was like a Super Bowl game was on every night for 2 weeks. We were forced to DoorDash pretty much every order outside our normal range. We didn’t receive the workers from the other location, not even the GM of the other store. It was hell for everyone in our store. An the best part? No bonus for our GM because of “The DoorDash Fee’s” Needless to say pretty everyone quit an now only 3 people work to make pizzas there along with the store that got remodeled. They cut Business hours to close 11pm when we once went to 1:30am. We couldn’t get them to budge when we were being over ran but now it’s okay? I really hate them tbh
Was a driver from 2011-late 2015 when i retired...johns ego destroyed our location...doing bang on till 2013/14 when he became vocal about rasing min wage and his stance on it...being in a blue state..the customers boycotted us...and the store closed in 2016/2017 not sure as i moved...but the wages for instore was crazy low asst managers maybe a dollar above min wage and store managers maybe 35k a year with ever raising requirements for bonuses...i was a driver and was surprised that any instore stayed more than a few months...they treated the employees like dirt...and when johm became ever more vocal the customers boycotted on that fact...
Can you elaborate on "the DoorDash Fee": What is it ? And how would affect the manager's bonus ??? ...And were you guys still doing approximately $2.50 on Delivery Fee with $1.25 to the driver ??? TY !!!
@@The.Philippines.Joe. ...Four years & you never realized that the reason why they treat employees like shyt was because of the bonus system ??? ...Because they're only making $35k a year, they're desperate to hit that sweet, sweet bonus money... ...And if someone makes a mistake, they don't nurture & train them to be better: They act out like a Spoiled Child that didn't get their way !!!
I LOVE THAT HE HATES BAR LIFE AND DOESNT WANNA COMTRIBUTE. I got told by managers at mickey D's i could beg for my job back, the managers were cool themselves i just dont beg, and now mcdpnalds wont hire me, but i even said a while back I dont wanna help sell some of that greasy junk anyways. Now im so glad i said that.
The only good thing about papa Johns is they hire anyone into management positions and offer overtime year round due staffing issues. You can literally make $3500 every 2 weeks in Denver just delivering pizza and collecting tips plus OT if you’re up for 10 hour work days 7 days a week
What a great story truly a self made man! I believe these kind of people are extremely rare. The pizza may indeed not be any good and the rumors and allegations may very well be true. But you can’t disregard his ambition and extreme determination to succeed.
I quit buying their pizza because a guy I knew named John, who loved the pizza, ripped people off so he could have as much as he wanted. Wasn't the REAL Papa John but he liked people to call him that. His behavior became a bad reflection on the product he loved so much
Hey there. Love the videos! You've developed such a clear style and voice, and crafted the stories so meticulously... they really are great. Can you by any chance post your sources and references with a video sometime? They seem really well researched, and it would be really cool to be able to refer to the sources and just exercise some curiosity, ya know? I think it would only make them more memorable, impressive, credible, and impactful. In any case, please do keep up the good work! Cheers!
Many mentors & friends told me that if you want to go big, you have to open for shareholders. In a lot of cases, more shareholders mean more headaches.
Nope, going Public is just a scam to allow your initial investors to cash out & make a profit on their investment: It has nothing to do with raising capitol for expansion.
New subscriber here. I appreciate the cuts , image animation, transitions, the audio timing etc. Considering the fact that your videos are long. Keep up the good work👍👍👍
There is only one difference between a successful person and a loser, and that is never giving up. Don’t ever give up on your dreams because YOU have the ability to make them come true! Never look down on yourself for being weak. Cause it makes room for you to grow stronger.
Exactly! John worked hard & he succeeded. There are always mistakes in business & must be a shark to achieve it. Unlike some men these days who don't work as hard as traditional men. =) ❤❤❤
Papa John's is still the best national pizza chain. Pizza Hut has actually gone downhill, in terms of ingredients, and Little Caesars is only cheaper because they have almost no variety. Not sure why Domino's became popular for a brief time, but I would assume because they competed with Little Caesars on price, yet had more variety. I always thought their pizza tasted horrible, though. 💁🏻♂️🍕🤷
Dominos did a brand-wide revitalization campaign a few years back, that included all new focus driven food options and a campaign that basically went "we're sorry we made crappy pizzas all this time...please let us make it up to you with GOOD ones"
I got fired cause of freedom to not speak In 2010. I literally got fired cause I was friend with someone who wasn't being PC in the break room and he was speaking and two women a course got offended and they tattal telled to the HR and since it's not illegal to fire ppl for speaking, they did. You would think on the US with the millions of laws one would be u can't fire someone cause ur feelings got hurt
Yep, absolutely insane that we don't have freedom of speech as a protected class at work. Altho, you probably still could have tried to sue for unlawful termination... Depending on the actual content of the speech in question... If he was Conservative, you could try to claim that it's a Religion that should be a protected class ? ...Altho... the better strategy would probably be to delay litigation, get hired by an Ultra Conservative Company (like a Church), then start spouting off some Ultra Liberal talking points in the break room in order to get fired on purpose & take it to Court with the expressed purpose to create a sympathetic precedent that could be used for you & your Conservative friend. Furthermore, since you weren't even talking, it's *_Guilt by Association:_* That seems wrong too. ...But also... *_PJ_* doesn't have "break rooms": Did you work at *_Papa John's_* Corporate Office ?
It's saddening to hear about the very empire that he built from scratch with blood and sweat turned against him and dethroned him. One lesson to be learned here is never to focus only on one company but to capitalize on its revenues and invest in other companies and stock markets.
We've got several Papa John's here in Trinidad and Tobago. They were top notch a few years ago. I hope they've continued in quality control, but I really can't comment further because I haven't set foot in one since 2019 -_-
I like the little peppers you get with your order . Weird to find another Trini on this video. I didn't think any of my countrymen was interested in this stuff.
was thinking of getting papa john pizza when watching this. but then that last part happens. and i cancelled my plan. because i support john. not because of what he do. but because of the way he was ousted by his company. this is why slow growth is better than selling out to wall street.
They do not post their prices on their menue or on their moniters at the store. The toppings are now very small in size and amount. I used to Like Papa Johns, now I do not.
Actually, PJ was sued by Pizza Hut for false advertisement over the tag line "better ingredients, better pizza" and initially won a $12.5 million award that was overturned on appeal in 2000. So, not much of a joke 🙂
The worst part about Papa John's is the cashback scam on their website, it has cost people thousands. I mean the pizzas aren't even that good, they have to permanently have deals on to get customers at all.
@@crazieates3823 Yeah, but it's illegal to jack up the price and then make a coupon to "cut" the price down to its normal level, or at least advertise it that way. A plain old cheese pizza from Papa John's costs $14 before taxes and fees where I live, and I don't live in an expensive city/area. I have no idea why people pay that much for fast-food-esque pizza. For all his faults, Schnatter is absolutely right: it's not the same pizza.
My coworker worked in a high end hotel in Park City, Utah. He said once John came to visit and he was the most narcissistic self centered jerk he ever met. Tons of rich people came though and John was the worst. He'd walk around asking people if they knew who he was, then would give out coupons for like 10% off at papa johns.
Don’t recommend buying pizza from them. They won’t put toppings on their pizzas and never answer their phones. And their corporate office is a joke factory. BAD PLACE.
I like the way you take film clips when describing situations. Big fan of Goodfellas and Spiderman to name a few. Would like to see the 90 minute version of these Presentations. OMG - pretty soon someone will be doing a Rags to Riches film on you guys! Thank you for entertaining and informing us Viewers.
Because of their similar accents, I keep comparing CoffeeHouse Crime to this channel. Adrian falls down a few pegs by always giving the end of the story right at the beginning. Magnates not only is well-researched, but is an excellent storyteller!
I lived in Philly my whole life until 2 years ago when I moved to coastal MS, before I moved here I didn't know anyone who liked Papa Johns much, including myself. Down here people tell me all the time it's their favorite pizza. And I gotta say I can't blame them, finding decent pizza outside of a chain is impossible down here. There's one spot owned by a guy that moved down here from Brooklyn and it's the only place I go on my lunch break at work
I really love your documentaries. They are very informative and entertaining. In the future, I'd love to see you do one of Shazam the music app. Keep up the great work.
Pappa John's might literally be the worst pizza I've personally ever tasted, I've had it a handful of times in Nashville TN around 2014ish and it was the WORST, I've eaten a lot of pizza all over the country over the course of about 30years and they are the worst, I assume they weren't always that bad, but they were then
Not sure about the exact details, but I heard that the PR Firm lead him into it on purpose in order to trick him into saying it, so that they could blackmail him for millions ?
Just a question… I’ve only been at your channel for a month and I’m curious if you have made a dominos video… if not.. please make one (btw u make amazing videos)
It’s a damn shame how he lost this place man you gotta watch what you say and you have to be a good person genuinely or you can lose everything with one sentence when you speak from the heart.
@Organic Soul Gumbo They baited him into saying a racial slur. Basically he was like I'm not racist and blah blah blah And they were like "which word are you talking about" And basically "I've never said n*****" And that's how they removed him.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 and then he said it... look at his history and environment, to say nothing of the people he presently supports and associates with (a few of which are racist) he was willing to say it so CASUALLY because he had no problem saying it... I doubt that he is a "racist" ...but ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, John is definitely a "racism apologist"
If you can see right before your eyes how good a company is doing and you have shares in that company I mean it's almost no brainer to not sell them off so cheap I would have said I want at least a million

A long time ago papa johns was hands down the best pizza. Once I tried it I was sold for life. Well, now after they changed to the worst and cheapest ingredients they could find in china the pizza is just a tad bit better than Kroger's brand frozen pizzas. Its horrible, I never eat it anymore.
...I'm trying to remember correctly... I think it was 1996 when I first tried it at my Aunt & Uncles house: I was blown away !!! ...Do you remember when you 1st tried them ?
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 I grew up right outside of Cincinnati Ohio and was born in 90, so I've had it my entire life - but somewhere around the year 2000 the taste took a dive.. and since then it's fallen off of a cliff! But I remember it was still decent in the 00's - not like it is now. That Hamilton Ohio location my family ordered from opened around 94' I think - and I remember when it did, because my dad refused to order from anywhere else. Right next to the laundromat we used and across from the nickel, dime and quarter candy store and generic video rental store. Great times. Raid the floors and change return slots in the laundromat, walk over to the candy store and come out like a bandit LOL; go home and watch some VHS's and eat papa johns. I'm pretty sure every summer from 94-98' we followed that same routine on laundry day.
Now they're know for the pizza that taste like cardboard. 😂
I felt the same way in the early 2000s.
Yep after 2014 or so it fell off baaaaad! It's definitely cheap ingredients now it's terrible. I miss the quality ingredients and sweet sauce....now the sauce is tangy tasting, cheese has no flavor, toppings straight trash
Channels like this are what make and keep TH-cam an amazing platform. Incredible, inspiring stories. New perspectives and top it off, highly motivating....keep up the world class work!
Just remember - you can work your ass off in this country and build an empire - but they will take it from you for saying the wrong word.

Naw, he's the one who made it a publicly traded company. He could've kept it privately owned, and nobody could've done anything, but he saw a route to more money and took it. The board decided he became a bigger hindrance than benefit and fired him. That's business. Also, John Schnatter's a POS even if you ignore his racism. He deserves no pity.
Which is funny because they got rid of Aunt Jemima, Land O lakes. It's okay though they will go down, just like every other rich person. They will die just like us. No amount of money can save you.
Moral of the story you “family and business don’t mix forever”
I worked at Papa John's in Richardson, TX in the late 1990s. Area manager was lousy and became one of the highest ranking executives in the company.
That's actually pretty typical in most organizations: You have to promote the most lazy, incompetent people into management because you cannot afford to lose the hard-working people who are actually getting all the grunt work done for you. Those hard-working people are much more difficult to replace.
I used to manage and bartend at Wizards and Fox & Hound in Richardson. Good times
I see the real moral of this story is: There's no such thing as a "Mom & Pop" restaurant chain while also being a mega franchise with stock shares in a public company. Eventually, they always have to cut corners and costs of operating. John wasn't betrayed by business associates, he betrayed his own core business values while being hypocritical.
Our age has reached a conclusion in the wake of arriving at its zenith. The downturn and financial exchange crashes are influencing everything, not simply FTX and 401Ks. My retirement values portfolio, at $750K, is bleeding cash. I'm continually losing because of expansion. This world will disintegrate under its authoritarian rulers, similarly as. Assuming you are contemplating resigning yet are concerned that your annuity won't take care of the increasing expense of living, I am sorry. All over the planet, there are poor administrative, monetary, and energy approaches as well as awful international strategies.
We are currently in the jaws of the worst bear markets I have seen, the average stock has been cut in half, and the only way to make money this year has been to either short or to trade long in very short time frames. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $117k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Mind if I ask you recommend this particular coach you use their service? I have trouble knowing when to buy or sell.
Honestly feels like the new Jake Tran of TH-cam business, hopefully you don't fall too deep into a downwards spiral.
In what way? b/c he covers meaningful things?
@@cheery-hex Jake Tran also covered meaningful things. They cover practically the same thing; corruption/downfalls of companies. They both make videos covering the dark sides to companies.
@@Odin.x. yeah, but i don't get why the implied MM would even go into a downward spiral in the first place. seems weird to mention it.
@@justarandompepe8961 Because Jake Tran did and we don't want another Jake Tran case.
I suspect this is James Jani's second channel. The voice , style and subject matter are all the same
There needs to be a separate documentary on his endeavor of consuming 40 pizzas in 30 days. Holy shit
I live in a small city in Canada, I feel like by the time we got a papa John's here the feeling of caring had passed, now Mr Poppa looks like a greased up pizza himself
Lmaoooo yoooo
Tragic demons energy
@@Reesee000 WTH are you talking about? lol
Papa not Poppa, your contradicting yourself and, first and last names both need to be Capitalized,duh!
@@mikehunt4797 if you have to ask then you dont know
Fantastic content, by far the best business documentaries both online and on TV. Well done, fantastic productions ,concise, interesting and very entertaining. I can't believe, that I have binge watched your videos for three days straight. Well Done!
I had papa johns for the first time 2 weeks ago, their dough is more like a sandwich, nothing like a pizza at all. After forcing that pepperoni "pizza" down, i was still craving pizza but had a full stomach. 0/10 experience. Will never order again.
That dumpster diving was dedication..
And smart af ... I'm not a fan of John or his pizza, but can't deny his extraordinary rise and success.
Let’s talk more on telegrams 🎉..
This channel reminds me of older documentaries. Where every word has meaning, and there's lots of meaningful words.
The video sequence around the 8 minute mark is perfect for that part of the story and really pulls you in.. brilliant video editing once again and certainly one of the best channels on youtube💯
your editing is insane bro! you're such an inspiration.
The price of going mega huge leaves you open to hostile takeover. I understand that John is ambitious and a high risk high reward kind of guy. If he would have settled for less and remained a private company this would not have happened. The other thing, you have a right to say what you want and people have a right to react to what you say too.

15:40 Yep, absolutely moronic advice. Going Public isn't about raising capitol for expansion at all... It's a strategy to pay off the initial investors. Furthermore, it's said in the video that *_Papa John's_* was worth $344 million in one day, but what they conveniently failed to mention was the amount of capitol that they raised with their IPO.
Unfortunately, you did not do your due diligence in researching the “N Word” phone call. The marketing firm they hired baited him into using it.
It was in him all along... and they just made him expose himself..
Papa Johns delivery driver saved my mother's life. I'm legally obligated to love that place until the end of time.
the n word thing blown out of so much proportion it was crazy and John over corrected it by leaving. And the poison pill policy that came afterwards was equally idiotic.
I always get super hyped when I see you upload, thanks so much for making such fantastic content for free!
Let’s talk more on telegrams 🎉...
As an Ex Manager of Papa Johns in Austin Texas I can say that the quality control was at its best during the pandemic.
Unfortunately the higher ups don’t care how much or how hard or even how smart you work. All that matters to them is being able to sit an look @ numbers instead of actually helping the employees that are being over worked.
We had a location close down for remodeling an they made our store make pizzas for carryout and delivery outside our delivery range. It’s was like a Super Bowl game was on every night for 2 weeks. We were forced to DoorDash pretty much every order outside our normal range. We didn’t receive the workers from the other location, not even the GM of the other store. It was hell for everyone in our store. An the best part? No bonus for our GM because of “The DoorDash Fee’s”
Needless to say pretty everyone quit an now only 3 people work to make pizzas there along with the store that got remodeled. They cut Business hours to close 11pm when we once went to 1:30am. We couldn’t get them to budge when we were being over ran but now it’s okay? I really hate them tbh
Was a driver from 2011-late 2015 when i retired...johns ego destroyed our location...doing bang on till 2013/14 when he became vocal about rasing min wage and his stance on it...being in a blue state..the customers boycotted us...and the store closed in 2016/2017 not sure as i moved...but the wages for instore was crazy low asst managers maybe a dollar above min wage and store managers maybe 35k a year with ever raising requirements for bonuses...i was a driver and was surprised that any instore stayed more than a few months...they treated the employees like dirt...and when johm became ever more vocal the customers boycotted on that fact...
Can you elaborate on "the DoorDash Fee": What is it ? And how would affect the manager's bonus ???
...And were you guys still doing approximately $2.50 on Delivery Fee with $1.25 to the driver ??? TY !!!
@@The.Philippines.Joe. ...Four years & you never realized that the reason why they treat employees like shyt was because of the bonus system ???
...Because they're only making $35k a year, they're desperate to hit that sweet, sweet bonus money...
...And if someone makes a mistake, they don't nurture & train them to be better: They act out like a Spoiled Child that didn't get their way !!!
I LOVE THAT HE HATES BAR LIFE AND DOESNT WANNA COMTRIBUTE. I got told by managers at mickey D's i could beg for my job back, the managers were cool themselves i just dont beg, and now mcdpnalds wont hire me, but i even said a while back I dont wanna help sell some of that greasy junk anyways. Now im so glad i said that.
The only good thing about papa Johns is they hire anyone into management positions and offer overtime year round due staffing issues. You can literally make $3500 every 2 weeks in Denver just delivering pizza and collecting tips plus OT if you’re up for 10 hour work days 7 days a week
What a great story truly a self made man! I believe these kind of people are extremely rare. The pizza may indeed not be any good and the rumors and allegations may very well be true. But you can’t disregard his ambition and extreme determination to succeed.
If only he didn't fuck it all up in the end
@@verxw74 all he said is he doesn't use the nword by actually saying it
One of the first major victims of cancel culture. I'll never eat at that chain again.
Papa Johns was NEVER good to begin with.
When John left, so did I.
Side-stepped the part where John becomes a meme of a sloppy drunk. Ironic given the early part of his story.
Yeah he went pretty easy on John here ... He also didn't mention his philanthropy though, to be fair.

I quit buying their pizza because a guy I knew named John, who loved the pizza, ripped people off so he could have as much as he wanted. Wasn't the REAL Papa John but he liked people to call him that. His behavior became a bad reflection on the product he loved so much
...ripped people off how ???
@@nikolaikalashnikov4253 He WAS very good at fixing electronics but charged outrageous prices for his services as well as the same for financing.
Hey there. Love the videos!
You've developed such a clear style and voice, and crafted the stories so meticulously... they really are great.
Can you by any chance post your sources and references with a video sometime?
They seem really well researched, and it would be really cool to be able to refer to the sources and just exercise some curiosity, ya know?
I think it would only make them more memorable, impressive, credible, and impactful.
In any case, please do keep up the good work!
Cheers!

Nope, going Public is just a scam to allow your initial investors to cash out & make a profit on their investment: It has nothing to do with raising capitol for expansion.

There is only one difference between a successful person and a loser, and that is never giving up.
Don’t ever give up on your dreams because YOU have the ability to make them come true!
Never look down on yourself for being weak. Cause it makes room for you to grow stronger.
Exactly! John worked hard & he succeeded. There are always mistakes in business & must be a shark to achieve it. Unlike some men these days who don't work as hard as traditional men. =) ❤❤❤

On a binge of your videos. Good Job man you earned a subscriber
So glad I stumbled onto ur videos so bloody addictive
John killed his own creation. I haven't bought pizza from Papa Johns in years and years, and never plan to again.
Papa Johns was Never good to begin with.
⭐Great Fast Paced Storytelling 🍕⭐
Papa John's is still the best national pizza chain. Pizza Hut has actually gone downhill, in terms of ingredients, and Little Caesars is only cheaper because they have almost no variety.
Not sure why Domino's became popular for a brief time, but I would assume because they competed with Little Caesars on price, yet had more variety. I always thought their pizza tasted horrible, though. 💁🏻♂️🍕🤷
Dominos did a brand-wide revitalization campaign a few years back, that included all new focus driven food options and a campaign that basically went
"we're sorry we made crappy pizzas all this time...please let us make it up to you with GOOD ones"
@@abigails4088 I'm glad they did that. I might try them again one day.
It's never too late to turn over a new leaf. 🌿🍕😋

Excited to watch this video, keep up the great work!
I got fired cause of freedom to not speak In 2010. I literally got fired cause I was friend with someone who wasn't being PC in the break room and he was speaking and two women a course got offended and they tattal telled to the HR and since it's not illegal to fire ppl for speaking, they did. You would think on the US with the millions of laws one would be u can't fire someone cause ur feelings got hurt
Yep, absolutely insane that we don't have freedom of speech as a protected class at work. Altho, you probably still could have tried to sue for unlawful termination... Depending on the actual content of the speech in question... If he was Conservative, you could try to claim that it's a Religion that should be a protected class ? ...Altho... the better strategy would probably be to delay litigation, get hired by an Ultra Conservative Company (like a Church), then start spouting off some Ultra Liberal talking points in the break room in order to get fired on purpose & take it to Court with the expressed purpose to create a sympathetic precedent that could be used for you & your Conservative friend. Furthermore, since you weren't even talking, it's *_Guilt by Association:_* That seems wrong too. ...But also... *_PJ_* doesn't have "break rooms": Did you work at *_Papa John's_* Corporate Office ?
It's saddening to hear about the very empire that he built from scratch with blood and sweat turned against him and dethroned him. One lesson to be learned here is never to focus only on one company but to capitalize on its revenues and invest in other companies and stock markets.
The ONLY thing John did wrong was agreeing to take the HORSESHIT sensitivity training....NEVER apologize for the TRUTH!!!
dude the quality of you videos are amazing!!! Start up Netflix level you have a bright future, my friend carry on!
We've got several Papa John's here in Trinidad and Tobago. They were top notch a few years ago. I hope they've continued in quality control, but I really can't comment further because I haven't set foot in one since 2019 -_-
I like the little peppers you get with your order .
Weird to find another Trini on this video. I didn't think any of my countrymen was interested in this stuff.
I dont blame u tragedy

was thinking of getting papa john pizza when watching this. but then that last part happens. and i cancelled my plan. because i support john. not because of what he do. but because of the way he was ousted by his company.
this is why slow growth is better than selling out to wall street.
They do not post their prices on their menue or on their moniters at the store. The toppings are now very small in size and amount. I used to Like Papa Johns, now I do not.
It’s not the same pizza. I’ve actually stopped going to Papa Johns since the qualities decreased.
The “better ingredients” hype was considered a joke early on.😊
Let’s talk more on telegrams 🎉..
Actually, PJ was sued by Pizza Hut for false advertisement over the tag line "better ingredients, better pizza" and initially won a $12.5 million award that was overturned on appeal in 2000. So, not much of a joke 🙂
The worst part about Papa John's is the cashback scam on their website, it has cost people thousands. I mean the pizzas aren't even that good, they have to permanently have deals on to get customers at all.
Let’s talk more on telegrams 🎉..
Most restaurants have constant coupon deals going...
Hell Grocery Stores have had them for decades!
It's just smart marketing imo
Makes me sick 4 2 days ,i use to work there growing up
@@crazieates3823 Yeah, but it's illegal to jack up the price and then make a coupon to "cut" the price down to its normal level, or at least advertise it that way.
A plain old cheese pizza from Papa John's costs $14 before taxes and fees where I live, and I don't live in an expensive city/area. I have no idea why people pay that much for fast-food-esque pizza. For all his faults, Schnatter is absolutely right: it's not the same pizza.
Papa John's quality went down
if black people can use the word, why shouldn't everyone else?
Seems a bit racist if it can only be used by one type of person.
content on this channel is always so engaging, it's insane how good you are .
Can you make a video about Honey (browser extension) or similar makes its money? I would find it quite interesting as it isn't talked about much!
My coworker worked in a high end hotel in Park City, Utah. He said once John came to visit and he was the most narcissistic self centered jerk he ever met. Tons of rich people came though and John was the worst. He'd walk around asking people if they knew who he was, then would give out coupons for like 10% off at papa johns.
Ooh 10% off
...Hmm... mere opinion with no actual facts to backup said opinion... ??? ...Sure kid.
Danny Duncan finna buy papa johns and papa john finna invest in Danny Duncan’s ice cream shop
What an inspiring video! 👏 thank you for taking the time to bring these
Don’t recommend buying pizza from them. They won’t put toppings on their pizzas and never answer their phones. And their corporate office is a joke factory. BAD PLACE.

Currently watching this from Jeffersonville, Indiana. ✌🏻 Great video!
is this a re-upload? I have a feeling that I have seen it already
The thing is that even after they've cut corners with quality, it's still better than the other chain places near me (Domino's and Pizza Hut).
The story of papa john's is so increadible and nice video man :]
I gotta agree, I thoroughly enjoy your narration my man! Keep up the great work!

It's a good thing John didn't start his business in a state where people actually know what real pizza tastes like.
Don't say new York because that's the worst pizza I've had .
Or a blue state..as his politics is what killed the location i worked at..
Amen. Found their pizzas to be quite crappy.
@@GunBChevyNUT83 Then you haven't had much pizza and didn't go to the right places either.
I lived in Philly my whole life until 2 years ago when I moved to coastal MS, before I moved here I didn't know anyone who liked Papa Johns much, including myself. Down here people tell me all the time it's their favorite pizza. And I gotta say I can't blame them, finding decent pizza outside of a chain is impossible down here. There's one spot owned by a guy that moved down here from Brooklyn and it's the only place I go on my lunch break at work
I really love your documentaries. They are very informative and entertaining.
In the future, I'd love to see you do one of Shazam the music app.

Pappa John's might literally be the worst pizza I've personally ever tasted, I've had it a handful of times in Nashville TN around 2014ish and it was the WORST, I've eaten a lot of pizza all over the country over the course of about 30years and they are the worst, I assume they weren't always that bad, but they were then
They ARE. And they've ALWAYS been horrid tasting. Aspartame in their Sauce.
Sooo he got screwed just because a word and having an opinion ? 🙄
Not sure about the exact details, but I heard that the PR Firm lead him into it on purpose in order to trick him into saying it, so that they could blackmail him for millions ?

@@danbrand2455 what are you talking about
@Organic Soul Gumbo They baited him into saying a racial slur.
Basically he was like I'm not racist and blah blah blah
And they were like "which word are you talking about"
And basically "I've never said n*****"
And that's how they removed him.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 and then he said it...
look at his history and environment, to say nothing of the people he presently supports and associates with (a few of which are racist)
he was willing to say it so CASUALLY because he had no problem saying it...
I doubt that he is a "racist" ...but ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, John is definitely a "racism apologist"
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916I wondered. I mean today, all one has to do is merely mention the n word, and it is then credited as a racial slur.
