Papa Johns Pizza is the third largest carryout and delivery pizza restaurant in the United States and  is situated in Louisville, Kentucky. The founder of Papa Johns, John Schnatter, began his pizza career as a high school student. He realized that he could not find a really decent and traditional pizza among à large number of pizza restaurants. That is why he decided to provide food of the best quality by himself  and started working for his father, who was co-owner of the bar "Mick's Lounge," in Jeffersonville. Finally, he sold his car to buy out the other owner's share in the bar, and started serving pizza to customers. Business started picking up succesfully, and soon Mick's Lounge restaurant  converted entirely into the first Papa John's restaurant.

The menu of Papa Johns restaurant was very simple - various types of pizza.  The most popular is "margarita", though a visitor can order a pizza with stuffing to his own taste. But the most common ingredients are tomatoes, cucumbers, salad, champignons, onion and cheese. The menu is diversified  by so called "side-products"- salads, snacks, cheese and bread sticks, chicken strips, fried potatoes,  pasta and soft drinks.  Papa Johns became one of the first major pizza chains to include a dipping sauce with every order.

Papa Johns restaurant has a higly-developed franchise system. It  means that a businessman can buy a Papa Johns pizza restaurant and follow the company`s market politics. The owner is also to pay a certain percentage of sales for the company to use it for advertising and support. But to be the part of Papa John`s International requires paying great attention to the quality of  pizza. 

Nowadays, there are nearly 3,000 Papa Johns stores in the U.S. and over 200 in the UK. Total number of Papa John's restaurants is about 2,787 (591 company-owned and 2,196 franchised) operating in 49 U.S. states and nine international markets. The structure of a Papa Johns restaurant is the typical one seen in many fast food outlets, the system of managing staff is quite the same as in other fast-food companies. It has its own character as well - Papa Slice appeared to be a nice piece of pizza with feet and arms. It usually comes into the children-hall to enetertain them, advising to cook pizza by themselves. It means your children will never be bored, while their parents are enjoying themselves in one of the  nice Papa John`s restaurant.
