yum! just sold pizza hut to private equity. these vulture capital firms love to sell off assets and squeeze every nickel while cutting expenses and turning the product to complete shit.i know pizza hut has gone downhill over the last 25 years, but prepare for this slop to taste even worse than it currently does.
I don't eat trash so I don't care.
>>22067674RIP, Personal Pan. You were the best.
>>22067674What assets could Pizza Hut possibly have left? A warehouse of checkered table clothes?
When the scamdemic hit and they closed in store dining it was over for them.Same with KFC removing the buffet.
>>22067690Stupid question. They have tons of stores. They could sell off the weakest ones and invest in their biggest hot spots.
>>22067674>gone downhill over the last 25 yearslmaoIt's been shit for almost 40 years. I had for the first and last time in 1991. That's how disgusted I was with the absolute shitcunt "pizza" they served me and my parents.I honestly don't think a single chain makes even halfway decent pizza. Maybe Sbarro's but they're gone now and were only barely halfway decent. Every single other chain has been inedible garbage and honestly, as an European kid growing up in America in the 90s, I thought less of Americans for liking it.
>>22067695Wow, what an amazing plan. Why didn't Yum Brands think of that? Got any stock tips, like buy low, sell high?
>>22067695They keep trying to open locations in my area. They've been attempting at various spots for the last 26 years at least. Each one has failed within a year or two of opening only for the next guy to forget that anytime ever tried to begin with and set up another location… which invariably fails, too. And the cycle repeats. The must recent attempt opened in the middle of a block with two independent pizza places at the corners of each end. It was open six months lol That's a record. There have five attempts to open chain pizza places here, four of which have been Pizza Hut, and every one has failed. PH even tried the same location TWICE lmao
>>22067699>Why didn't Yum Brands think of that?Because they weren't trying to squeeze out short-term profits at the expense of long-term viability with the intention of going bankrupt, retard. You act like private equity hasn't done this shit many times.
>>22067716>Business is failing >Private equity buys for cheap and tries to turn it around >Sometimes the business still fails and PE uses the real estate assets for more productive enterprises>A bunch of commie and MAGA faggots shriek about the destrvction of our cultural heritage/oppression of the working class because their millenishit toy store they haven't gone to in 15 years went bankrupt
>>22067702Five! I forgot, they opened a takeout only location in a gas station. The gas station told them to GTFO lolGot replaced with fried chicken
>>22067734Go back to pol, faggot.
>>22067674>yum! just sold pizza hutisn't that nice.
>>22067702you really don't understand how easy it is to launder money, huh?
>>22067742You're right, I got off topic. Here's my contribution to the thread: restaurant pizza is shit and chain pizza is even more shit. It's impossible to make the food worse because it already only legally qualifies as "food".
>>22067734are they in the room with you right now?
>>22067695All those pizza hut classics that they opened in small towns the past few years are probably first to go I'm guessing. There's a modern dine in one near me with lunch buffet that will probably be axed as well.
>private equityStopped reading there. By making a point of this I already assume you're pants-on-head retarded. Pro-tip: 99.9% of the time, businesses that are doing well don't magically get sold to private equity. You should understand this and assume that PH is already a dumpster fire and can't get any worse.
>>22067674i wonder what happened to pizza hut when i was in college around 2012-15they where the shitcoming out with different flavored crusts and suacesyou could have drizzle on the the pizza ect even there cheese bread and cinnamon bread was goated now theyve gone to shitthey got rid of anything that made them special and lowered the quality of all there ingredients like last time i ordered from them it felt like i was eating texture not food like shit had no flavor it was basically baby food
I kind of assumed they had been sold off to private equity a long time ago with how bad they've gotten. It'll be funny to see how much worse they can get. Its a shame to see one of my favorite pizza chains go to shit as badly as they have.
Anyone remember the hot dog pizza they did?
>>22067948I remember the mini hotdog pizza that was like pigs in a blanket. Also came in pretzel. That was surprisingly tasty for slop.
>>22067948extremely phallic
>>22067682Nuh uh the deal lover menu better not change if i cant get a pizza and wings for $15 im not going
The Hydra of Fast Food, defeated
>>22068288taco bell is the last one holding on kfc is basically a luxury food now which is bullshit
>>22067970for you
>>22067674
>>22067682my fucking childhood
They just remolded the one near me, I went with my wife https://youtu.be/a9zOI2R7sIo
>>22068288I liked Kentaco&W but Yum! sold off their A&W holdings so there aren't any anymore. Kentaco Hut isn't as good. Did Yum! ever own Long John Silver's? Coulda sworn I've seen a Kentaco Silver's.
>>22067734>anon is a massive fucking retard>thinks private equity is his best friend and not the harbinger of a restaurant's oncoming rape>better add some political buzzwords too so that I look like I'm making a statementEvery breath you take is a waste.
>>22067695Those stores are almost all franchises. They can't sell them.
pizza hut pan style pizza was the greatest thing and they fucking ruined it, they ruined everything, frozen veggies, frozen prepackage dough. they gave franchising rights to the most absolute subhuman retards. they looted the company that was built on actual quality then sold it. if this is what capitalism is supposed to be then i don't want any more of it. these yum brand losers didn't create anything, they didn't build anything, they are fucking vampiresi don't eat goy slop anymore, but i wish i could have an old school pizza hut pan style pizza just one more time
>>22068414dominos pan is pretty good
>>22068294kfc is just as shit. the breading is salty and flavorless last time i had it years ago and i doubt that has changed
>>22068418dominos isn't the same. pizza hut pan was this greasy, crusty, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside amazing thing
>>22068422i mean thats what dominos pan is for me but i order mine with there parmesan sauce tomatoes and bacon or anchoviesand shits hella greasy extra crispy on the sides and just ooey gooey cheesy deliciousness in the middle the tomatoes help cut all the grease 10/10
>>22067697>uppity euro cunt thinks he's better than americanswoah big surprise
>>22068302For me it was the Book It program for free personal pans.
>>22068438>uppityI am indeed quite tall. : )
>>22067958>>22067970
>>22068517they were gonna bring it back but I guess they won't now
>>22068569Huh? Didn't know they stacked shit that high.
>>22068672>t. jealous, kissless virgin
>>22068675not really Chet
>>22068679You're old. So am I to get that reference but still.Did you like the show or the movie more?
wait didnt the CEO just say they were going back to the old style Huts? RIP
>>22067674Oh boy another local restaurant to close and the building to be repurposed into a dispensary cause everyone's too fucking high to have an appetite apparently.
>>22067674How do you enshittify Pizza Hut any further? They already use fake "garlic flavor", fake tomato sauce, plastic bread, plastic cheese, and mystery meat.
>>22068334Yeah I think they owned LJS for a little while
>>22068746this is what im wondering it already shit what they gon do raise the prices
>>22068730I'm not a user but I was under the impression that pot smoking gives people the munchies?>>22068687Movie with the exception that Vanessa Angel > Kelly LeBrock. >>22069006For about a decade. Sold them off around the same time they got rid of A&W.
>>22067674>turning the product to complete shitThis is the worst part about it. Every few years, I like to go to PH just because of the singular taste of their 'za's; but for what I know, they may have completely changed the 'pe since the last time I went and I'm not even getting the same product.
>>22069034>Movie >Vanessa Angel > Kelly LeBrockGood man.Nikki Cox was also the shit back then. >>22069006I FUCKING KNEW IT>got rid of A&W.I used to go to a Kentaco&W in the late 00s because my ex loved the food court it was in, always wishing there was a fish option. As I said in >>22067697, I'm originally from yurp, specifically from a country that consumes a pretty large amount of fish. Plus, I'm part chino. So if there's a fucking seafood option, I'm getting the fucking seafood option.Except at that food court. How the FUCK do you screw up a shrimp po'boy?And I miss Arthur Treacher's.
>>22067674I went like 10 years without eating pizza hut and then got it last year and it gave me horrible food poisoning, haven't touched it again and probably never will. There is zero reason to eat at these shitty chain pizza places when you could just go to a local place and get better pizza for around the same price.
>>22069427Maybe you just have a weak constitution.
I used to work at Pizza Hut back in 2016 and it was trash even then, save for the wings.AMA?
>>22068295If I eat it, would I die?
>>22067674Huh, you mean closing the traditional locations, "updating" the appearance of the ones that remained and running ghetto fatiguer centric ads didn't boost sales and keep the chain profitable? I don't believe it!>I once propositioned the QT 3.14 Pizza Hut delivery girl to sell me the panties she had on for $300
>>22067682>>22068302>>22068517I so loved this.>>22067695>They could sell off the weakest onesOh boy! Yet MORE familia run taquerias in my area!>>22067697>as an EuropeanYou're brown. Noted.>>22068334>Did Yum! ever own Long John Silver's?Yes and that's why it went to shit and so many closed.Taco beef, chicken and pizza fast food operations can get away with letting shit expire while still serving it, or not preparing things correctly, but when you do it with seafood you instantly poison people, and that's what began happening with all the LJS's here. I'm in one of the largest cities in the US, and the one LJS that's almost within driving distance for food from my house literally has Google reviews about how it gives people pinworms.I fucking loved LJS back in the late 80s/early 90s but holy shit it went bad not long after.
>>22070665How long have you been living with your intellectual disability?
>>22067674I still like their bread sticks and stuffed crust. Guess I should order em soon before they start fucking with the recipes
>>22068517how did this work? kids wrote an essay about the books they read? people just trusted that the book was actually read?
>>22068294once every four years or so i go to KFC just for the weirdness, as i never go out & i always cook at home.
Dominoes is simply better. Best deals, better pizza
Time to get your last ever personal pan pizza, with 400 calories of oil in a slice, too much sauce, not enough cheese, and one pepperoni slice cut into 4
How does Pizza hut have legit good wings?
>>22070826Best deals, better pizza, Papa Johns.
>>22070699Kids kept a written log of what they read, which had to be signed by an adult. There was no verification that the adult checked that the kid actually read the book or that the signature was by an actual adult. No doubt some kids cheated but even that showed some degree of initiative, so not entirely wasteful. There was a culture of honesty back then, which meant cheating was naturally held to a minimum. For Pizza Hut, they didn't really care because when the kid came in for their free pizza, the parents usually bought pizza for themselves and any other family members that came along.
Maybe I should learn to make my own, because the Pzone was absolute fucking SEX
>>22068294kfc is cheap as fuck, its just trash compared to popeyes because they use vegetable oil now and popeyes still uses tallow
>>22067674>i know pizza hut has gone downhill over the last 25 yearsThen why do you care? that've been terrible for longer than a lot of people have been alive. Good riddance.
>>22067806"Private equity" is a very large basket. There are some that specialize in running restaurants and these are generally fine. The 'bad' ones are the ones that strip a company of its assets, cook the books, and sell it off later. These ones depended a lot on cheap loans and this model doesn't work as well anymore. Buyers also got wise to the tactics and selling the company comes under more scrutiny now.Other private equity specialize in extracting as much as they can from a dying company. These arent as bad imo, just the circle of life for some brands. You can generally read the winds for trends, especially in the restaurant business. No smart money will buy pizza hut in an honest attempt to turn it around. Dominoes dominates its market segment, lower is little Ceasars, higher is crowded with premium brands and individual restaurants. Pizza Hut is worth more to private equity because it likely has no future.Fyi I don't know what sort of PE bought pizza hut.
>>22071253>Pizza Hut is worth more to private equity because it likely has no future.This is the saddest thing I've read all day.
>Pizza Hut thread>on 4chan>C.C. not mentioned
>>22067674I guess I better break my keto eating so I can go get a Large Meat Lovers pizza with mushrooms before the place changes. Their cheese sticks with the parmaesan on top dipped in their maranara sauce was the best.
>>22071273Pedo.
>>22067734>Private equity buys for cheap and tries to turn it aroundthis has never happened, everthe plan of these PE firms is to squeeze the stone dry anon, not to help anyone
The PE firm is named "LongRange Capital". Arby's was their last turnaround project. Depending on how you see Arby's today, that might be a good or a bad thing.
>>22068414does anyone have that copypasta from someone who saw when pizza hut corpos fucked up the cooing method? i heard it here first that they skimped on it somehow
>>22067674>i know pizza hut has gone downhill over the last 25 years,I keep seeing this sentiment, but I don't get it. Pizza Hut, at least the few near me, have stayed pretty good over the last thirty years, whereas Papa Johns has declined greatly around here in that time. Pizza Hut is probably my favorite fast food pizza place, gonna be real sad if they shit it up. The change to the pan crust a few years ago was bad enough.
>>22070842>high trust societywhat a foreign concept..
They still exist? Seems kinda impossible to fuck it up even more
>>22067734>EquityOh great, expect DEI commie bullshit to fill HR departments and make straight white male workers lives a living hell.
>>22068625You freak son of a bitch! Kill yourself.
>>22070836They have fryers.
>>22067674honestly I don't really like the too sweet sauce pizza hut was using anyways so this is probably a good thing honestly.
