Papa Johns’ customers are spending less than they had previously, and when they do spend money on pizza, they are more likely to choose third-party aggregators over the company’s first-party delivery channels. This shift in mix balance was a primary driver behind the Atlanta-based pizza chain’s 2% decline in North America same-store sales, as well as revenue and overall sales deflation for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Sales from aggregator channels have grown to 16% this quarter, as compared with 12% the same quarter of 2023, meanwhile organic delivery has declined year-over-year, while carryout remains flat. This highlights the quandary operators face when utilizing third-party apps: they are crucial to pull in new and non-regular customers, but operators lose revenue from these transactions.
