Peter Piper Pizza appoints two vice presidents

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Peter Piper Pizza has appointed Michael Brown as vice president of information systems, and Greg Palmer as vice president of human resources.

 

According to a news release, both positions serve to strengthen the company's infrastructure as it prepares to launch initiatives in technology, recruitment and talent development.

 

Technology updates at all restaurants will allow Peter Piper Pizza to capture actionable transaction information instantly on everything from game token sales to food costs.

 

"All of our software needs to be customized for our menu," Brown said. "With five types of crust, 23 choices of toppings and game tokens available as well, there are a lot of different menu and pricing options for a guest. Our system needs to reflect those variables and still make it fast and easy to track orders."

 

On the HR side, tools are being developed to assist managers in the field in taking a larger role in the selection and training of associates.

 

"I want Peter Piper Pizza to be an employer of choice among parents, who can feel proud that their son or daughter is working for a company with vision and values, and that they're doing so in a safe environment," said Palmer. "Our brand is all about fun, and that should be for employees as well as our guests. Our people create the magic that differentiates our culture and service mindset."
