About Us
Training and Support
You will receive six weeks’ initial training held at our international training centre in Milton Keynes. This training incorporates classroom and practical work at a store local to your location. Further training courses are offered to franchisees and their team members on an ongoing basis, both classroom and internet based.
Extensive and continuous support from a dedicated franchise business manager and our UK and European campus staff in Milton Keynes will assist you with recruiting and training new staff, marketing, product control, pricing and other operational areas.
Who’s Ideal for Us?
We are looking for individuals, couples or business partnerships with exceptional interpersonal and people skills. These are essential as you’ll be dealing with customers and leading your team on a daily basis. You also need to have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the right mindset.
Our franchisees are organisers with a can-do attitude – they are people who get things done. You will need to be dedicated and passionate, as well as being able to adapt to a proven way of working. We need people who are not afraid to “roll their sleeves up and get stuck in”, which means everything from making pizza through to administration.
People with the right combination of drive, enthusiasm and business experience are ideal Papa John’s candidates. Being a Papa John’s franchisee is a challenge which calls for initiative and determination, and no small amount of dedication. But, if you have a comprehensive understanding of business it’s a fantastic opportunity – one that can be personally and professionally rewarding, as well as financially.
Previous fast-food or food experience is not a prerequisite; some of our franchisees did not have previous catering or retailing experience. The most successful franchisees are entrepreneurial, owner/operators who have excellent people skills.
Financial Information
This may vary and depends on several factors such as site chosen and building costs, but typically an investment of between £170,000 and £225,000 (excluding freehold & VAT) of which £100,000 should be in liquid funds.
The initial agreement is for 10 years. Subject to lease and other considerations, the franchise agreement is renewable by the franchisee, currently at no additional charge

- The right to our information, specifications, know-how, and other confidential and proprietary information.
Included in the indicative total investment cost, there is also an allowance for management, and staff training plus initial marketing support prior to opening your store.
Most of the start-up costs are comprised of the building, fit-out and equipment costs which will vary depending on your site. The package also includes all fixtures and fittings, signage and internal marketing collateral, ovens, EPOS system and small wares as well as all agents’ fees, franchise fee, marketing, project management and pre-opening expenses.
