        the last time i had pizza hut, their last chance; it was typical, a grease pit. that poor cardboard. i filled out an online complaint form and the store manager called me asking what they could do.

        “change your recipe. you sell grease with a little pizza”. i was honest with the guy, its not his franchise thats the problem, its the product. i had finally learned my lesson. pizza hut clearly hasnt learned theirs

          Not minimizing or dismissing what you’re saying, but they must do something different over here, even as a franchisee, because it’s not the best but not that bad either. I can’t imagine what exactly, but we have other chains that I’d avoid first. Papa Johns doesn’t even have one location on this island. I think they’re all on Oahu with maybe one on the big island.

            I HATED Pizza Hut growing up in California. Way too greasy. Single slice of meat lovers would make me sick. Then I moved to Illinois for a few years and it was night and day. Suddenly Pizza Hut was GOOD. Light, flakey crust. Right amount of ingredients. No grease. Moved back to California and it was greasy shit again.

            I dunno, there’s definitely some regional differences going on.

    They could have just focused on providing a better delivery experience, instead they’re going to let uber drivers deliver cold pizza with the wrong soda.

      With higher delivery fees! Why on earth would anyone even order Pizza Hut after this? If I’m paying obscene delivery fees and jacked up menu prices through doordash or whoever anyway, I’m getting better food than that. Or just eating at home like I end up doing every time I look at the total from one of those services.

        It doesn’t even make sense as sure, Uber doesn’t pay drivers much and Pizza Hut won’t have to employ them, but customers will have to pay more. So Pizza Hut could have just said “due to increases in wages we have to implement a delivery fee”, and actually paid their drivers. They’d rather do this dramatic ‘omg we have to fire them’ thing though.

          You are vastly overestimating the brain dead American population that will see the higher price, order delivery anyway, and then stop thinking about it.

          Like, they just don’t think about how it will affect their finances at all. People order takeout and delivery every day without a second thought.

          To be clear I am not victim blaming the poor, but we are beyond late stage capitalism here. They won.

            Except that’s not what’s happening at all. Go look at Just Eats stock price after aquiring grub hub for a few billion. Turns out, people actually do scoff at the delivery price of these services.
