A must read if you want to learn about Private Equity and how it drives companies into the ground. "Bad Company" by @greenwell.bsky.social www.megangreenwell.com/book

That's fair. Yum Brand merely acts like a private equity firm without actually being one

With Toys “R” Us/Babies “R” Us it was specifically private. Amazon had been around long before they went bankrupt and they were extremely busy at the time.

I need to not post and try to listen to zoom meeting at the same time what a mess. LOL

Any fucking thing but make better pizza.

I used to be a personal pan and salad fan. When I read about all the closings, it made me nostalgic so I did a takeout order. OMG I took two bites. I have no explanation for the second one. It was SMOTHERED in overly sweet sauce and the dough was totally raw. I didn't even try the brown salad. 🗑🚮

They could try making good food again.

Maybe private equity should sell it instead of stripping it for parts and let just be a fucking restaurant.

Pizza Buffet

Bring back the bigfoot pizza from 1993! It didn't taste particularly great but it's nostalgic dagnabbit!

Like Radio Shack, they haven't changed a thing. Not good.

This is what happens when everything distinguishable from the competition is wrung out in the name of efficiency.

Looks like they've been recently sold to a Private Equity firm...so I wouldn't hold out any hope on them making things any better.

Yes. I recently went to one of the few remaining dine-in Pizza Huts with a lunch buffet and it was slammed. People love it. Bring back the classic decor and it will be a hit.

My first job was only once a month and we would all take our measly wages and head straight to Pizza Hut for a big night out.

To be fair dominos sucked until they accepted that they should try making better pizza and turned it into a marketing campaign.

A table top Galaga machine and red cups man. Also, make good pizza.

I miss the sit down Pizza Hut restaurants. I loved everything from the shape of the building and the decor to the smell of the dough and pizzas baking. The smell when you entered the restaurant was intoxicating 😊

Growing up in the 1970’s Pizza Hut was a Friday or Saturday night out - much anticipated by us kids!

Bring back personal pan pizzas for reading books.... But for adults!

Three words: original pan pizza (from early 1980s).

The original Pizza Hut where I live is a Müv medical marijuana dispensary now and the pizza hut is now located by a Harbor Freight a few miles away.

Their franchise management has been atrocious for ages, and they could never decide whether they were competing with Applebees or Panera and wound up lousy at both.

I love Pizza Hut

Make choripans.

Maybe they can try making good pizza? Just an idea.

The feeling was good food and a nice atmosphere for a good price. I swear that formula would work in all times but private equity sees a good thing as something they can exploit and milk until it is dead, then move on. Ban private equity, and we as a society could have pizza huts again

They could try not making shitty pizza

As a former GM.... Try staffing. ;)

If they went back to their old wing recipe, filled a pizza box like they used to, I might eat there again. And yes, they never should have given up the restaurant. But, ya know, private equity is gonna sell them for parts.

Bookmobiles. Hear me out: Millions went to OG Pizza Huts because their kids earned certificates by reading in school. Partner with Dolly Parton and local libraries to put a bookmobile outside PH restaurants as distribution sites for her Imagination Library program, plus functional library branches

Bring back the salad bars!

Ms.Pacman/Galaga game tables or bust!!

You can't give away Tony Hawk demo discs if you stop making discs

Your perfect prez will make it …

I loved the old Pizza Huts!

If Pizza Hut was more like Chili's than KFC, they'd definitely have something. Even with a limited menu.

Oh fuck off

Everyone saying bring back the buffet I am happy to introduce you to pizza ranch

They can try what they like, too many people are out-pizza-ing the hut these days

Maybe if they made a higher-quality product, they wouldn't be losing business. Their pizzas were always of such low quality, then they turned to gimmicks like their oil-drenched pan pizza. It was always awful compared to other places.

There is a sit down pizza place near where I moved to last year. It's constantly packed. (Hideaway Pizza) My background is in marketing so keep that in mind, but my guess as to why it's always packed is that the food is actually good.

Pizza Hut pizza isn’t the worst but there’s a lot more really good pizza around than there used to be. Maybe upgrade to keep up with evolving tastes?

The answer is obviously a new Code Geass anime

People don’t actually want that. They just want to be young again. Nostalgia is cancer.

Also fuck the Post for what it's become. Didn't realize I was relying to a dog shit rag.

How about just make better pizza?

Who doesn't love pizza made by private equity?

i think it might be related to a large pizza costing $20

“We’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas”

Even serving merely good pizzas at reasonable prices and paying good employees well enough is the one weird trick that capitalists don’t want you to know

A: Vacation in the North East. perhaps the Finger Lakes region of NY. B: Visit Geneva and go to Ciccino's where you can order by the slice like a real pizzeria and enjoy. C: Realize why Pizza Hut sucks and has always, sucked 0_o D: Go back to counter and order a Stromboli to go ;-)

What if Pizza Hut has a shitty product that no amount of nostalgia will fix?

For what it’s worth, in the mid-90s that dressing was simply blue cheese crumbles mixed well with ranch dressing.

Pepsi effed PH up

Do Book It for adults!! Have people go to their local library or something?? Also bring back the buffets (I know they are still out there but I don’t think there are as many)

Private equity seems incompatible with what they want to do.

"You did your best, and it was terrible"

Can they make the pizza taste as good to me at 45 years old as it did when I was 8?

Definitely do risk management on that post, @democrats.senate.gov . Unbelievable.

try not being disgusting

Yes please
