Relevanceour research will help address the three challenges in a few key ways

Our research

suggests which

digital ordering

methods are

most popular

— showing where

to focus

Position Pizza Hut as the top choice for customers who order pizza digitally

We showwhich ordering

projects (e.g. Xbox & Visa Checkout) people

are least aware of — demonstrating

a need for differentmarketing

Our focus groups

give insight as to

where Pizza Hut

may lack in the

digital experience

currently

Provide the greatest digital ordering experience in the category

Our researchdemonstrates whichmethods and features have been most

successful forcompetitors

We found that

most of Pizza Hut’s

new projects have

failed in changing

overall perception of

their digital ordering

process like they

hoped

Reach the target 75 percent of all orders done digitally by the end of 2015

Our surveys

provide statistics

on who is

currently using

online/mobile

ordering giving

a better idea

of the magnitude of

the challenge

Research shows abigger problem withthe app’s usabilityas opposed to awareness of the app’s

existence

Competition“Pizza Hut’s sales

have decreased steadily for seven consecutive

quarters while Domino’sand Papa John’s have

endured a more steadyincrease in sales.”

The “fast, casual,”

made-to-order

pizza concepts are

contributing to the success

of Pizza Hut’s competitors

such as Papa John’s,

Little Caesar’s and

Domino’s.

Survey

Focus Groups and In-depth Interviews

From our secondary research, we know that Pizza Hut’scurrent perception is severely lacking.

Millennials tend to use desktop/laptopsbut are shifting to mobile apps.

Focus groups and in-depth interviews gave us a bettersense of how millennials perceive Pizza Hut.

Our survey fulfilled the purpose of gathering cohesive demographic data that was not readily available.

Our secondary research has led us to the following conclusions about primary research.

Pizza Hut is rolling out an entirely new menu on Nov. 11 andit’s the “biggest change that [they’ve] ever made as a brand.”Follow up on brand perception after the new menu is released

Pizza Hut has developed many new partnerships in the past year including Microsoft and Visa. Continue to follow up on the nature of these partnerships and see if they will develop any new ones

Despite our in-depth interviews with the 35-50 demographic, wewere unable to conduct focus groups. As the secondary target, we recommend conducting focus groups with them

Because Pizza Hut hopes to brand themselves as “fast-casual,” stay up-to-date on any major changes or competitors in the fastcasual industry, particularly with digital ordering (Chipotle, WingStop, Panera, etc.)

Diversify the number of Pizza Hut locations you observe. Travel torural, urban and suburban areas if possible because the preferredmethod of ordering and frequency of dining may change placeto place
