My GF and her son ordered a pizza from Papa Johns online.....

Now they are running the double peperoni and bacon pizza for 12 bucks. But the store charged them 16 bucks since the local franchise does not honor sale prices on anything ordered online. Me I would of walked out.

But they paid for the pizza and brought it home.

The assistant store manager says they get constant complaints but its the franchises decision.

I called the number the manager gave me and was offered a coupon for a free pizza. But this was from the regional franchise district manager. I declined and called corporate. Told them I wanted to speak to someone from corporate. They had the same district manager call me back He denies everything.. But claimed since thjey have 139 stores they are corporate.

I called corporate back and since they track all sales suggested they check what price their customers are paying for online items on sale.

I havent heard anything back yet, but think the franchise is running a scam of some sort.

Has anyone else run into this?

By the way there was near no bacon on the pizza, just some tiny crumbles...

Where was the special offer? Online or did you see it somewhere else?
What exactly did the offer say? What was the price shown when you ordered it?





But they paid for the pizza and brought it home.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to offer the deal for walk-ins
that take out and not offer it if the order is placed online. But if
they only offer it for customers who eat-in, that isn't unusual.



I called the number the manager gave me and was offered a coupon for a free pizza. But this was from the regional franchise district manager. I declined and called corporate.

They offered you a free pizza, which is worth more about 3X the $4 discount.
What exactly do you want?




Told them I wanted to speak to someone from corporate. They had the same district manager call me back He denies everything. But claimed since thjey have 139 stores they are corporate.

I guess that's determined by what the offer said. It's not unusual for
the offer to have restrictions.

I would never order one of their lousy pizzas.

My wife and I make our own pizzas. It's extremely easy. It's inexpensive
and they are much better.

the 12 buck sale price was on the front door of the store, and while waiting on the complaint line it was repeated 20 times or so, every minute, sale price on the web site too.

the store says they get complaints daily since the franchise doesnt honor any sales price from on line orders

normal price about 16 bucks.

I didnt want the free pizza, I demand they honor their sales price, and will contact the media.

perhaps papa johns charges the franchise for on line orders. so they dont honor the price.....

sounds like a dirty franchisee if you ask me.

Papa John's is letting franchises opt out of advertised promotions.
Nothing illegal about that. Many Subway stores charge more than $5 for a
$5 footlong too.

Some franchisers require their franchisees to honor promotions, i.e.
Burger King.

From the PJ website with regard to the $12 special:

"Offer and Prices will vary in Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Offer good for a limited time at participating Papa John's restaurants"

I think it's probably dumb for a national franchise to do that, but as you
say, nothing illegal or even unusual about it. I recall seeing many TV
ads for example for fast food that say "at participating locations".
And I think there offer of a free pizza when he complained was reasonable
too. Many restaurants, not just fast food one, don't even have the sense
to do that. You complain about the food or something, and they could give
you a free desert, something, on a $100 check and they rather have you
leave ****ed off, by giving you nothing at all.

I'm also still curious about what price they were shown online?
If they were told the price was $12 for the particular location they
were going to and it took the order at $12, then I agree they have a
totally valid beef.

not true. at least as of a few years ago, an 'owned' franchise in downtown
San Jose, CA near the Unvirsity was constantly charging more than the ad
prices, because they could. Plus they weren't always as clean as they
should have been. But after I complained and complained to corp. and
getting numerous 'free' coupons, the franchise changed owners and cleaned
up their act, and attitude.

So unless you complain it is not going to change.

Yes, because franchises are usually independently owned and operated,
and thus do not have to honor the corporate specials. Their choice.

By the way, the Papa John's online ordering website featuring this
particular deal says,

"Offer good for a limited time at participating Papa John's restaurants."

There's the disclaimer. That particular PJ's didn't participate in the
online special. You have no case.

The business gets to set the conditions. If you don't like it, don't
do business there.

Almost certainly the online order system is centrally run by
corporate, who gets a percentage of each sale in return for hosting
the online order system. That's most likely why some franchises opt
out - between the special price and corporate getting its cut, there's
not enough profit left for the franchise holder.

Next time, phone it in, or go to Pizza Hut. PH has specials that
*require* ordering online to get the special deal.

then Little Caesars. I agree with their ranking. Dominos was number
one and Pizza Hut number two (or the reverse)

They're participating in the online order system. They're not
necessarily participating in the special.

That was the thing to do.

If the OP wants to enact some sort of change, he should pressure
corporate to put a flag in its online order system that would alert a
customer ordering a special when their PJ's *won't* honor the special.
Thus warned, a customer could opt to abort the order process, or go
ahead and pay full price. It would save everyone a lot of aggro.

I called corporate back and since they track all sales suggested they check what price their customers are paying for online items on sale..































































I havent heard anything back yet, but think the franchise is running a scam of some sort.































































Papa John's is letting franchises opt out of advertised promotions.































Nothing illegal about that. Many Subway stores charge more than $5 for a































$5 footlong too.































































Some franchisers require their franchisees to honor promotions, i..e.































Burger King.































From the PJ website with regard to the $12 special:































"Offer and Prices will vary in Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Offer good for a limited time at participating Papa John's restaurants"































I think it's probably dumb for a national franchise to do that, but as you















say, nothing illegal or even unusual about it. I recall seeing many TV















ads for example for fast food that say "at participating locations"..















And I think there offer of a free pizza when he complained was reasonable















too. Many restaurants, not just fast food one, don't even have the sense















to do that. You complain about the food or something, and they could give















you a free desert, something, on a $100 check and they rather have you















leave ****ed off, by giving you nothing at all.































I'm also still curious about what price they were shown online?















If they were told the price was $12 for the particular location they















were going to and it took the order at $12, then I agree they have a















totally valid beef.















12 bucks online price when ordered, 12 buck price on front door banner....















oh you ordered on line that means your paying full price.....















thats pure wrong!!!







OK, in that case I agree, you have a very legitimate beef. And I agree,



if I was picking it up and that happened, I'd tell them it's either $12



or they can throw it out, their choice.



I also didnt like the district manager claiming he was corporate.




I think I have uncovered a scam, and want to see corporate knows about it.....



What they are doing makes very pappa johns look bad.


In my world a distric manager is corporate because he's an employee of
the Papa John corporation, isn't he?

Are you afraid you may have a discuss a topic under one name?

Yep, I bet that is the true reason.

yep and thanks the health department will be visiting this papa johns.

Some years ago I reported a hospital for a very unsafe situation..

Not only did they fix the item I reported but they got fined 15 grand for something very serious.

The PA state health department inspects the entire hospital if they get a detailed complaint...

The way I look at it I may have saved some lives.

I'm with you Bob. We should not tolerate Tyranny. From government all
the way down to a pizza franchise.

Did the pizza place employees have on hair nets and gloves? If they
were slovenly, bring the big guns out and break 'em.

If we can save the life of just one tortoise.... or a snail darter...

I think there should a Pizza Militia.

I wonder when was the last time the health dept. inspected the place.

(hint- hint)

That works, but since he knows the special doesn't work online, I'd order
3-4 pizzas, go to pick them up and then walk out when they say "No special
for you"

I have never ordered pizza online. Don't you give a credit card
number when it is ordered? Or is it optional?

If they require a CC, then that is another fight if they debit the
card.

New department, Citizen Reporting and Policing.

You too can sign up to C.R.A.P. on people, and
send C.R.A.P. every where you go. With the new
C.R.A.P., everyone will know that you really
give C.R.A.P. to your neighbors and friends.
Just dial the anonymous 800 number, and C.R.A.P.
all over your friends, neighbors, local pizza
joint, hospital, etc. They'll thank you in the
end when they see you C.R.A.P. every minute of
every day, and they'll thank you and probably
tell you where you can stick it.

I don't normally buy pizza from the chains, but I have
ordered from Dominoes for delivery a couple of times and it
wasn't required
YMMV
I much prefer the mom and pop joints that don't taste like
cardboard ****g

paying on pick up is customers choice and what my step son did....

It will be interesting to see if papa johns responds
