...Pizza Hut History The Pizza Hut story began in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas where two brothers, Danny and Frank Caney, opened their first restaurant. Within one year, they franchised their first unit. In 1968, the company entered the international market with a store in Canada. The following year stores opened in Australia, Mexico and Germany. In 1977, Pepsico, leader in the snack and beverage industry acquired Pizza Hut, initiating its entrance into the restaurant industry. At that point in time, Pizza Hut consisted of approximately 3,200 units (Tricon website 2001). By 1989, Pizza Hut had stores in fifty four countries and in the same year the company opened its first location in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The parent company Pepsico grew later with the acquisition of Taco Bell and KFC, each brand expanding through the development of company-owned units and franchises throughout the world. In an effort to sharpen Pepsico’s focus, in 1997, it announced a plan to separate the company’s packaged goods and restaurant businesses. The new company was named Tricon Global Restaurants, and upon its formation became the world’s largest restaurant company in terms of units, and second in the world in terms of sales (Pepsico websitepress releases). The Tricon corporate philosophy promotes “A passion for putting a ‘YUM’ on people’s faces around the world… that special eating experience that makes you smile and creates lifelong customers” (Tricon website 2001).

...Pizza Hut Scenario Pizza Hut has built an outstanding reputation for service that has earned the respect of the customer. Building a leading pizza company requires continuous innovation, commitment to quality and dedication to customer service and value. One of Pizza Hut's target audiences is on-the-go-moms. Busy moms want to be guilt-free of their busy lifestyle and still want to provide good satisfying meals in a hurry. Pizza Hut offers both value and convenience. Great options are the Skinny Pizzas, which have fewer calories that the health-conscious mom can appreciate. An insightful way to reach out to these moms could be advertising in the periodicals that they read. Busy moms are always looking for useful tips and ideas from such publications as Ladies Home Journal, Woman's Day, and Redbook. Another target group is young adult males. Pizza is so versatile; it easily fits into young men's active lifestyle. It is no muss, no fuss that makes it super convenient, and cold pizza out of the fridge the next morning is a champ's breakfast. A good way to reach out to this group is through media campaigns that incorporate sports. Super Bowl, Sunday night football, March Madness are just some examples. Pizza Hut engages the customers that visit their website through personal interaction. Customers can pick and choose endless combinations of crust, sauce, and toppings. Who doesn't want it their way?

...a small building on in their hometown Wichita, Kansas and opened the doors of first Pizza Hut in 1958. A year later, the company incorporated and opened the their first franchise in Topeka. By 1966, Pizza Hut established a large home office in Wichita to help oversee the 145 Pizza Hut franchise restaurants that were established. It didn't take long for Pizza Hut to become the No. 1 pizza restaurant chain in the world. In 1971, only 13 years after the Carney brothers started their first Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut became the world's most successful pizza restaurant in terms of sales as well as in the number of restaurants around the world. Pizza Hut has aggressively sought out franchise owners. It has made itself more attractive to franchise owners is by aligning itself with other restaurants such as Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Long John Silvers (ultimately all becoming a part of the Yum! Franchising group). One of the more unique items of note, Pizza Hut sets itself apart from a lot of its competitors because it allows Franchisee's autonomy in deciding some of the items they will carry on their menus such as being free to use different kinds of toppings from different suppliers. While there are differences in ingredients, the basic elements in each pizza are the same. This allows consumers to get the familiar taste they love, but also allows franchise owners to branch out.

...introducing us all to some crazy new ideas and ones that just might work. But before we dive into all of that, it’s time for lunch. Luckily we can order a pizza from Pizza Hut without breaking our keyboard stride. Pizza Hut is celebrating 20 years of online ordering at CES and that just sounds wrong. 20 years?! Back in 1994, they launched their first digital ordering hub called “PizzaNet.” The first-ever online order was a large pepperoni, mushroom and extra cheese pizza and they’ve been going strong ever since. So strong that they think of themselves as an ecommerce company – 40% of their orders come through the online system, 50% from mobile. Caroline Masullo, Pizza Hut’s director of digital experience told the LATimes that people were surprised to see a pizza company at CES but they shouldn’t be. “If you’re going to be a big e-commerce player, this is the place to be. This is where all the companies are, and we need to be on the cutting edge for our consumers’ sake. So I think we should always have a presence.” All kidding aside, the ability to order a pizza 7-days in advance is as radical as a car that reads your email to you while you drive. Both help you get things done more efficiently and ordering a pizza online is a lot safer than email in the car. Heck, you can probably order a pizza from your car using one of Pizza Hut’s dedicated apps. This past year, they added created an ordering app for the XBox360 giving gamers one less excuse to stop playing. Now, if only...

Situation Analysis Customer Analysis: • Consumption was more significant in the northern and the eastern parts of the United States • Pizza was predominantly a dinner food, sometimes considered as a snack. Thus emphasizing that demand was specifically skewed during particular time periods of the day. • Pizza generally conceived as eat-at-home food, especially since the advent of in-home rental videos and increasing number of baby boomers with small children. • Preferred delivery systems to eat-in or carry-out pizza outlets. • According to franchisees, customers seldom cared about price-per-square inch of pizzas, rather the absolute prices of the small, medium and large sized pizzas mattered more to them Context Analysis: • Growing demand for purely delivery based system • Franchisees which introduced delivery were doing significantly better than company-owned stores. • Prevalence of discounting in the pizza business Competitor analysis: • Initially only Godfather pizzas were next best in the business • Dominoes rapidly expanding into the Pizza Delivery-only market • Recent promotions into areas where Pizza hut is planning to enter • A little more tedious to implement CSC in their outlets • Have been a motivation to the franchisees for not implementing CSC’s Company analysis: • Market leader for a long while before 1986, when...

To be more detailed, Rufus has: 1) Failed to take due care, in both services 2) Appears to have failed to maintain objectivity and independence 3) Appears to have lied to increase personal gains 4) Misappropriated funds by deceiving clients Pizza Hut Case Justification of tax position September 23, 2013 Question: Could I have justified the position taken on the tax return from an ethical standpoint? Explain… First, the 7th district court asserts that C&F failed to claim why it voluntarily treated some of the money received from IBP as ordinary income if all such claims necessarily net capital gains. To this I would respond, C&F did make a claim for the treatment. C&F estimated that 2.86 million in revenue was lost due to the damaged (misappropriated) trade secret, thus the treatment of that amount as ordinary income. This means that the remaining balance from the initial lawsuit (IBP) would go...

...PIZZA HUT - MOSCOW: CASE ANALYSIS () Executive Summary: Pizza hut is faced with challenges as they try to get their “toe in the water” and enter the market in Moscow. The challenges are: * Lack of standard supply chain process * Cultural clashes * Language barriers * Service differentiation for Ruble and hard currency customers * High exchange rates and complication in pricing (government versus black market rates) * Communication (disconnect between the local employees and the management team) * Employees had to work long hours and cover for absentees * Turnover and ongoing training for the new staff jeopardized the service and quality of Pizza Hut.
