Pizza Hut!! This is my most favorite fast food restaurant because of so many reasons. Well, before we go to that, I would like to go to a little history of it.
The world's largest pizza franchise was born in 1958. Today the Pizza hut company is part of the Pepsi Empire, but before two brothers's borrowed $600 from their mother and started to forge the history of Pizza hut. Pizza Hut subsequently branched out and developed franchises all over the world. The whole history of pizza hut has been achieved through innovation, but the history of pizza hut really took off with amalgamation into the Pepsi Company and more aggressive marketing techniques especially in the take out market.
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. engages in the manufacture, sale, and distribution of Pepsi-Cola beverages. Its beverage products include Pepsi-Cola, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Aquafina, Sierra Mist, Diet Mountain Dew, Lipton Brisk, Sobe, Starbucks Frappuccino, and Tropicana juice drinks. The company also manufactures, sells, and distributes soft drink products of companies other than PepsiCo, including Dr Pepper and Squirt, as well as under trademarks Electropura, Epura, and Garci Crespo
Every Pizza Hut branch in the world may seem the same, but its actually not. They have different recipes. They have different suppliers and use different toppings depending on the wants of their costumers.
As we are in the Philippines, we have a branch of Pizza Hut in the Philippines (duh!). Every time I look at the menu, I see mouth watering pizzas of different flavors which just makes want to order every single one even if I run out of money (which I won't do because I don't usually spend my own money on things...hehehe). But of course, no one in their right mind would order so many food that they know they can't consume all of it. Its just that no one can really resist these pizzas (especially me).
Besides the food, I also love the set up inside. It is clean and orderly yet so easy to move around. It is a nice place to socialize with people since you can eat while telling stories with each other (which is kind of gross since you would be talking with food chunks in your mouth...just saying), you can meet new people and many more! Cool place by the way.
They also have a sophisticated delivery system. And by sophisticated, I mean motorbikes (usually) and in some countries delivery vans. Even more sophisticated than what I've already mentioned, You can order online (I'm just saying this for the sake of those who don't know)! If you don't believe me here some pictures:
