Even if you have yet to taste the brand’s creations, you have likely heard the slogan, “Better Ingredients, Better Pizza” and if you’re a fan, that may be what keeps you coming back for more. Whether you love the spinach Alfredo, BBQ chicken bacon pizza, garden fresh pizza or the classics, such as pepperoni or cheese pizza, you will find something that suits everyone’s tastes.
With 5,000 locations and counting throughout the United States and the world, according to Papa John’s website, it’s likely you have a Papa John’s nearby. Although Papa John’s may be a well-known name, it has not always been in the positive spotlight. The founder, John Schnatter, has been known to ruffle plenty of feathers, from employee complaints about working conditions that date back to earlier years in the company, according to an article in People, to inappropriate comments and racism. Eventually, Schnatter was forced to resign when his excuses were no longer sufficient, and it was obvious he was becoming a liability for the very company he created, according to an article in Forbes. However, before this happened, he sent one more creation out into the world while still CEO.

Here’s why Papa John’s employees had to sign an NDA
But, before the book “Papa: The Story of Papa John’s Pizza” was published, employees at the company’s corporate headquarters were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, also known as an NDA, as well as other confidentiality documents, according to Forbes. These types of agreements prevent employees from discussing insider information. In this case, the NDA forced employees to refrain from discussing Schnatter’s personal life (via Forbes) and likely any details from inside corporate headquarters.
