Google Cloud and Papa John’s International have 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.
