Papa John&rsquo;s has offered delivery since its founding, yet the brand recently announced that it will nevertheless be expanding a 2018 partnership with third-party delivery service, DoorDash, according to an article on <a href="https://table.skift.com/2019/02/28/papa-johns-is-expanding-its-doordash-partnership/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=papa-johns-hopes-an-expanded-doordash-partnership-will-remedy-its-sales-slump-2709308" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Skift Table</a>. 

From a foodservice industry perspective, the demand for third-party delivery has certainly arrived: &ldquo;With Taco Bell, McDonald&rsquo;s Corp., Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and others doubling down on delivery, pizza chains are starting to feel the heat,&rdquo; the article said.

The results show that rivals may be eating into sales,&rdquo; according to the article.
