Papa Johns CEO wants to raise Pizza prices in order to offset Obamacare costs

[Prince Akeem]

John Schnatter, CEO and founder of pizza chain Papa John’s, took a critical look at President Obama‘s Affordable Care Act recently, warning that the legislation will result in price increases for pizza.

The law changes that go into effect in 2014, he said, will increase the company’s costs — and those increases will be passed on to consumers. “Our best estimate is that the Obamacare will cost 11 to 14 cents per pizza, or 15 to 20 cents per order from a corporate basis,” said Schnatter, who is a Mitt Romney supporter (and fundraiser).

He added, “We’re not supportive of Obamacare, like most businesses in our industry. But our business model and unit economics are about as ideal as you can get for a food company to absorb Obamacare.”

Those added costs, he promised, will make their way to consumers:
If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders best interests.

I had an internship a while back at the Papa Johns headquarters for accounting, I went on break and was chilling in the lunch room, I set my alarm on my phone in case I fell asleep (you're not supposed to fall asleep on break ) so this fakkit walks in and sees me asleep even though I just had my eyes closed and my alarm was set and tells my supervisor about it just to try to get me in trouble

Let's hope this doesn't become a trend unless wages and taxes/services are raised.

Greedy fukks

I like papa john...or used to rather. Fuk that now that i do know his politics he's going to lose more than a few cents from me.

And yes dominoes is the best alternative.

This. Of all the cheap pizza chains, Little Ceasers has the best overall value and taste. Their ingredient quality is top notch and their business model is fantastic. A great franchise to own.
