正如最近报道的自从据报道创始人约翰·施纳特（John Schnatter）使用的是在营销电话期间种族诽谤，随后辞职，然后遗憾的是辞职。毫不奇怪，这种Bad P.R.的弹力对单个Papa John的商店产生了负面影响：一些加盟商报告说，销售额下降至少30％。所以福布斯今天宣布“在销售下降和股价下跌，除了提供其他救济措施外，该公司还将削减特许权使用费和食品成本。”
The measure was announced in a franchisee letter from current Papa John’s CEO Steve Ritchie, who states in the letter, “We had an open conversation about this unprecedented situation and the impact the severely disappointing words and actions by our founder have had on the business.”福布斯报道说，多个地区的商店经理不得不减少数小时，并且“交货司机正遭受薄途径，因此提示更少。”不寻常的财务举动旨在减轻各个特许经营分支机构的困难。
同时，CNBC报告了这一点星期五，爸爸约翰的特许经营协会公开敦促施纳特“继续前进，因为在他在电话会议上使用N字之后，事件继续震撼。”(Although he resigned as chair, Schnatter is still on the Papa John’s board.) In what might be construed as a silver lining, though, some investors say that now would be a good time to buy Papa John’s stock (PZZA), predicting some sort of eventual turnaround. As a Longbow Research analyst向CNBC解释，“它只能从这里变得更好。”
