Breaking Down Centi-Millionaire 'Papa' John Schnatter's Obamacare Math - Forbes

Last year, Papa John’s International captured $1.218 billion in revenue. Total operating expenses were $1.131 billion. So if Schnatter’s math is accurate (Obamacare will cost his company $5-8 million more annually), then new regulation translates into a .4% to .7% (yes, fractions of a percent) expense increase. It’s difficult to set that ratio against the proposed pie increase, given size and topping differentials, but many of their large specialty pizzas run for $16. Remarkably, a 10-14 cent increase on a $16 pizza falls in a comparable range: .6% to.9%. But the cost transference becomes less equitable if you’re looking at medium pizzas, which run closer to $12, meaning a .8% to 1.15% price increase.

For the sake of argument, let’s say that Papa John’s sells exactly half medium/half large specialty pizzas. Averaging the ranges for both sizes, then averaging that product yields a .86% price increase — well outside the range of what Schnatter says Obamacare will cost him.

So how much would prices go up, under these 50/50 conditions, if they were to fairly reflect the increased cost of doing business onset by Obamacare? Roughly 3.4 to 4.6 cents a pie.

In September, the company announced that it would be giving away 2 million free pizzas. That was, of course, a promotion designed to increase brand awareness and to invite consumers to try the brand — with the ultimate goal of selling more pizzas. Those giveaways can’t really be cataloged alongside sales that would have been made otherwise. But just in case you’re curious, that would be the equivalent of $24 million to $32 million in pizza revenue.​

This is one way to fight the obesity epidemic...be such a douchenozzle, nobody wants to buy your crappy food.

Everyone was warned beforehand that this was gonna happen. Why isn't goverment being blamed? I mean it is goverment putting the extra expense on the people. Liberals are worse than little kids. Don't touch that boiling pot of water. Then you touch it, and then blame the boiling water for burning you.

They don't make $16.00 - $ 12.00 for every pizza they sell.

Elections have consequences.

Yes, life will be a little bit better for millions of Americans working hard in low paying jobs, thanks to President Obama and the Democrats in Congress.

Getting their hours cut to 29 may be your idea of 'better.'

Greedy rich bastard.

Another shitty chain I didn't eat at anyway.

I used to, but likely will never again after this.

We see that with this instance and all the layoffs that have been announced since the election.

The list of restaurants that libs won't go to is getting longer and longer. Let them stay home, who cares. This is what happens when everyplace starts being the object of boycotts. The places you can't go get to be more and more, and the places that you allow yourself to go to smaller and smaller. Libs can go to local dives until they start going out of business too.

Jobless claims are up 439,000 this morning.

John Metz, Denny's Franchisee And Hurricane Grill & Wings Owner, Imposes Surcharge For Obamacare

"If I leave the prices the same, but say on the menu that there is a 5 percent surcharge for Obamacare, customers have two choices. They can either pay it and tip 15 or 20 percent, or if they really feel so inclined, they can reduce the amount of tip they give to the server, who is the primary beneficiary of Obamacare," Metz told The Huffington Post. "Although it may sound terrible that I'm doing this, it's the only alternative. I've got to pass the cost on to the consumer."

Metz is the franchisor of Hurricane Grill & Wings, which has 48 locations, five of which are corporate owned, and president and owner of RREMC Restaurants, which runs approximately 40 Denny's and several Dairy Queen locations. He planned to use the 5 percent surcharge tactic in all his restaurants starting in January 2014, when Obamacare is fully implemented.

Perhaps you need a lesson in corporate taxation.

The government imposes a tax on a corporation.
The corporation passes the cost of the tax to its customers.
Corporations do not pay taxes.

In this case, the corporation is perfectly within the law and politically correct to explain to its customers why the prices went up.

I want everybody to know that ObamaCare is the largest tax increase EVER on the American public.

I'm asaratis and I approve this message.

Fuck Obama!
Obama is a goddamned Marxist!

Denny's has over 500 restaurants in Japan. I wonder how they afford healthcare for their employees there?

 

[Papageorgio]

Time to write the corporations and let them know where we will not be eating.

Logical answer, either will support those companies that will tell you why they raised prices, or you'll eat at places that just raise their prices for the same reason, yet, won't tell you or do as I do and eat at home.

Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation

President Obama's election victory ensured his Affordable Care Act would remain the centerpiece of his first term in power - but that has left some business owners baulking at the extra cost Obamcare will bring.

Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny's and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers' bills and will reduce his employees' hours.
With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January 2014, Metz has justified his move by claiming it is 'the only alternative. I've got to pass on the cost to the customer.'

You're the one who supports lowering wages to increase employment. Slavery is the ultimate lower wage full employment logical end to that position.

Where, above slavery, do you draw the line?
