Didn’t Pizza Hut use to be a high quality sit-down restaurant that didn’t even do delivery and had a big salad bar? At least, that’s how I remembered it, because I don’t think I’ve thought about Pizza Hut in years.
Also, it is worth noting that these are companies that franchises Pizza Hut, not Pizza Hut owner Yum Brands. This is more of a case of companies being horrible in general instead of a large company being horrible.
The 20 dollar minimum wage is however well deserved, and probably should be higher considering the cost of living here in California.
I’m from NJ and a few months back I went to our local Pizza Hut with my mom since it had been years since we’d been there. Its on the corner of two major roads (one is literally called Main Road) and in a shopping center.
We pulled up and there was one car there and the entire place looked dark, we weren’t sure that they were even open, even though it was like 4:30 PM. We walked in and it was a ghost town, an employee finally appeared and we asked if they were open and she said they were. For like the 30-45 minutes that we were there we were the only people there, even for pick-up.
Speaking of which, when I used to live around NY/NJ, every single random pizzarias or Italian places in general I’ve been there has been absolutely amazingly good. Maybe there is too much competition for Pizza Hut there.
Yeah in my smallish town we have a mom and pop pizza place, domino’s, pizza hut, straw hat, round table, mountain mikes, and little Caesars all on the same road. If we want good pizza we go to the mom and pop shop or straw hat. If we want cheap pizza we go to little Caesars. All the others in between we just don’t even consider
We almost ordered pizza hut because it stayed open the latest, I even had the pizza and wings in the cart about to checkout but the total was just a bit too high for not a great selection of toppings and we ended up just getting taco bell instead
When I was home for Christmas my mom said that she went there with my dad and their friends a few weeks ago. There was one person working and they said they couldn’t wait on my parents and their friends because they had to run the entire place themselves (make the pizzas, handle the drive through, watch the cash register, etc…). For my 4 year old niece’s birthday she got Pizza Hut again. Apparently now when you call to place an order it goes to a call center, so she had to fight with that for a few minutes and then finally decided on driving there to place the order.
They’re actually opening pizza-hut-classics, that feature the salad bar, sit down dinner etc.
But again, I won’t be looking for the shit because fuck any company that treats their workforce this way. Happy fucking holidays you’re fired? GET FUCKED

Yeah, there’s at least 5 other pizza places within a few miles. IDK why my mom always chooses Pizza Hut over them 🤷♂️
So i work in the industry
Pizza huts are barely open with even as low as 2 employees at a time. Little ceasars had 10 workers on the holidays
Every franchise could vary but not really lol the original owners of all those pizza huts are no longer careee
