Google Cloud

Google Cloud and Papa John’s International recently announced a new, multi-year commitment involving the latter’s digital and data cloud strategy.

The company will expand its work with Google to migrate its datacentres to Google Cloud, as it looks to meet a coronavirus powered surge in demand for online ordering and delivery, and boost the customer experience.

“Google Cloud continues to be a strategic and trusted partner in supporting our best in class digital platforms, particularly as we’ve experienced tremendous growth in consumer demand over the past year,” said Justin Falciola, Chief Technology Officer, Papa John’s International.

“As one of the largest pizza delivery brands in the world, innovative technology is an essential component of our business model, allowing us to create great customer experiences and increase efficiencies throughout our restaurant operations.”

“Migrating and transforming our infrastructure capabilities to Google Cloud will increase our speed to value for Papa John’s digital, restaurant, and corporate solutions, ultimately delivering the best experience for our customers and our team members.”

Papa John’s leverages several Google Cloud technologies, including Cloud SQL, Bigtable and BigQuery, as well as Cloud Functions, Firestore, and Kubernetes Engine.

It has also moved its mapping system onto Google Maps Platform.
