How Papa John's Learned Digital Ordering in QSR

Papa John's is one of Pakistan's most recognized pizza brands, built on consistent quality and a loyal customer base. But a brand known for 5000+ restaurants worldwide still needed a digital ordering experience that matched its scale. We built a bespoke white-label ordering platform, managed their cloud infrastructure, and ran targeted Meta and Google campaigns, all engineered around one goal: ROI.

What We Found When We Started

01

Slow Online Ordering Interfaces

The old web checkout process was slow, and traffic crashed during dinnertime, driving users to third-party apps for food delivery.

02

Disconnected Social Media Promotion

Instagram and TikTok promotions without direct ordering links resulted in lower conversion rates from viewing a deal to initiating an order.

03

Broad Meta Ad Delivery Settings

Ad spend was allocated to general food categories, but not distinguished between late-night food cravings and weekend family deals, or instant delivery intent.

04

Poor System Reliability During Flash Deals

System reliability issues during flash sales. Promo events with high volumes caused server overload, abandoned carts and reduced order volume during peak periods.

05

Inconsistent Campaign Tracking

Event tracking was weak on promotional banners on digital channels, resulting in a lack of consistency in measuring revenues between search and social ads.

06

Missing Local Search Optimization for Stores

People wanting and searching for pizza delivered near them were not consistently guided to the closest outlet, leading to lost delivery orders.
