I used to work there and hated it, but you have to understand, it's one of those buisnesses that people have no idea how big it actually is. The company that owns Pizza Hut also owns KFC, Taco Bell, A&W and one other one that I can't think of off the top of my head. Those other branches support the whole company even if one is struggling...which pizza hut was up until about 3 years ago when they decided to cut their prices (such as any large up to 3 toppings for 10 bucks). It's actually worked out better than they thought it would, and they sell a SHITLOAD of pizzas every day. My store was one of the slowest stores in our region in terms of customers per day, and we still would end up making 3-4K most days, and more on weekends. When you consider the fact that it only takes about 700 bucks a day to keep the place open, you're banking well over 2k on slow days from each store. And there are a lot of pizza hut's out there.
Sorry for that lol, but it's one of those buisnesses that will never be killed because of lack of money. The parent company/sibling restaurants keep it running. The only way PH will go anywhere is if they're not making very much money off of them and they decide they could cut them out and replace that branch of their company with something more viable. But as of right now, they're still the #1 source of income for APC.
