Papa John’s franchisees know that great pizza alone isn’t enough to stay profitable—it takes smart financial decisions, cost control, and efficient operations.
For Papa John’s franchisees, turning a profit isn’t just about serving up great pizza—it’s about managing costs, optimizing operations, and making smart financial decisions every day. With food prices rising and delivery fees cutting into margins, staying on top of the financials has never been more important.
As ingredient costs fluctuate and delivery platform commissions eat into profits, franchisees need every advantage to protect their bottom line. With the right tools, they can track costs more effectively, uncover opportunities for savings, and even recoup a portion of third-party delivery fees. By optimizing operations and leveraging smarter financial insights, Papa John’s franchises can turn these hurdles into opportunities for increased efficiency and profitability.
Cheese is one of the most expensive ingredients on the menu, and its price can fluctuate dramatically. For franchisees, the ability to closely monitor cheese prices and adjust ordering practices accordingly is key to maintaining profitability.
With Restaurant365, franchisees gain visibility into CoGS and pricing, including cheese, offering item-level detail all the way to points of sale data—life changing for managing costs. This makes it easier to track pricing trends, manage orders effectively, and adjust quickly to protect margins.
Third-party delivery services like DoorDash and Uber Eats are a significant revenue stream, but the high commission rates they charge can quickly eat into profits. Restaurant365 helps franchisees manage delivery-related expenses by integrating data from multiple sources, including third-party platforms. With insights and consolidated financial reporting, franchisees can track and control costs across delivery channels, improving financial visibility and protecting profit margins.
By offering detailed insights into delivery profitability, R365 makes it easier to evaluate which platforms are most profitable and identify areas for improvement—whether it’s renegotiating delivery fees or optimizing logistics. Plus, with third-party dispute resolution tools, franchisees have the opportunity to recover a portion of those fees, putting money back where it belongs. This empowers franchisees to maximize delivery revenue while maintaining control over costs.
Labor costs continue to rise, and with inflation impacting the price of ingredients, franchisees are facing higher operating costs across the board. With R365, franchisees can optimize labor scheduling based on sales data, ensuring staffing is aligned with demand to reduce overstaffing during slower hours.
R365 also provides detailed insights into food costs, allowing franchisees to identify waste and inefficiencies in ordering practices.
