Profile bio
About Rick Thompson
There’s are several reasons my career at Papa Johns, the fourth largest pizza chain in the US, took flight over 18 years, with ultimately 800 restaurants under my leadership.One of my strengths was the ability to leverage lucrative partnerships with professional sports teams with winning promotions that skyrocketed sales.For example, I engineered a campaign with the Texas Rangers offering pizza at a discount when the team scored seven or more runs in a game. In one instance alone the plan boosted sales $130k in a single day, and became the #1 promotion in the firm’s history. Another reason I succeeded was my hands-on relationships with area supervisors and franchisees, regularly visiting locations to ensure highest product quality, optimize customer satisfaction, incentivize staffs, and improve profitability.Perhaps my strongest trait is never giving up on people, making the effort to find out what motivates each individual and provide the opportunity and support they need to excel. Having that kind of patience benefits everyone. I’ve seen it change many lives.As a member of senior management phased out by a new Papa Johns investment group, I’ve made profitable use my elite business connections and people skills over the last four years brokering new business deals at Maverick Alliance Partners.Now I’m ready to take on a new leadership role in the Restaurant or Food & Beverage space, where I can contribute appreciably to a growing, quality organization from day one. Or, lend my highly transferrable skills and innovative promotional savvy to another related industry.If my background and experience aligns with a position you’re seeking to fill, I would welcome your contacting me at rdt3@sbcglobal.net to discuss.With energy and enthusiasm, I look forward to the challenges ahead!
