INDUSTRY PROFILE

Fast food

A fast-food restaurant is a restaurant characterized both by food ready to eat

quickly after ordering, and by minimal service. One trait shared by all fast food

establishments is that the customer pays for the food prior to consuming it. Often this

food is referred to as fast food. In response to increasing backlash against fast food,

the industry has been trying to move the public away from that term over the past ten

to fifteen years, shifting to the term quick service restaurant (QSR for short). Despite

the industry's efforts, consumers continue to refer to them as "fast-food restaurants"

The food in these restaurants is often cooked in bulk and in advance and kept

warm, or reheated to order. Many fast-food restaurants are part of restaurant chains

or franchise operations, and standardized foodstuffs are shipped to each restaurant

from central locations. There are also simpler fast-food outlets, such as stands or

kiosks, which may or may not provide shelter or chairs for customers.

Because the capital requirements to start a fast-food restaurant are relatively

small, particularly in areas with non- existent or poorly enforced health codes,

small individually-owned fast-food restaurants have become common throughout

the world. Restaurants such as Culver's and Noodles, where the customers sit down

and have their food orders brought to them, are also considered fast food.

H istory of Fast food

Although fast-food restaurants are often viewed as a representation of modern

technology, the concept of "ready-cooked food to go" is as old as cities themselves;

unique variations are historical in various cultures. Ancient Roman cities had bread-

and-olive stands, East Asian cultures feature noodle shops. Flat bread.

Popular Indian "fast" food delicacies include Vada pav, Chaat, Bhelpuri,

Panipuri and Dahi Vada. In the French-speaking nations of West Africa, meanwhile,

roadside stands in and around the larger cities continue to sell- as they have done for

generations- a range of ready-to-eat, char grilled meat sticks known locally as

"brochettes" (not to be confused with the bread snack of the same name found in

Europe).

The modern history of fast-food in America began on July 7, 1912 with

the opening of a fast food restaurant called the Automat in New York. Automats

remained extremely popular throughout the 1920's and 1930's. The company

also popularized the notion of “take-out” food, with their slogan “Less work for

Mother”.

The American company White Castle is generally credited with opening

the second fast-food outlet in Topeka, Kansas in 1921, selling hamburgers for five

cents a piece. Among its innovations, the company allowed customers to see the food

being prepared. White Castle was successful from its inception and spawned

numerous competitors.

Mexican-style food like tacos and burritos, as well as pizza, has also

become staples of fast food culture.

McDonald's, the largest fast-food chain in the world and the brand most associated

with the term "fast food," was founded as a barbecue drive-in in 1940 by Dick and

Mac McDonald. After discovering that most of their profits came from hamburgers,

the brothers closed their restaurant for three months and reopened it in 1948 as a

walk-up stand offering a simple menu of hamburgers, French fries, shakes, coffee,

and Coca-Cola, served in disposable paper wrapping. As a result, they were able to

produce hamburgers and fries constantly, without waiting for customer orders, and

could serve them immediately; hamburgers cost 15 cents, about half the price at a

typical diner. Their streamlined production method, which they named the "Speedier

Service System”, was influenced by the production line innovations of Henry

Ford. The McDonalds' stand was the milkshake machine company's biggest

customer and a milkshake salesman named Ray Kroc traveled to California to

discover the secret to their high-volume burger-and-shake operation. Thought he

could expand their concept, eventually buying the McDonalds' operation outright in

1961 with the goal of making cheap, ready-to-go hamburgers, French fries and

milkshakes a nationwide business.

The "fast" in fast food

Fast-food outlets are take-away or take-out providers, often with a "drive-

thru" service which allows customers to order and pick up food from their cars; but

most also have a seating area in which customers can eat the food on the premises

Nearly from its inception, fast food has been designed to be eaten "on the go" and

often does not require traditional cutlery. Common menu items at fast food outlets

include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, French fries,

chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, and ice cream, although many fast-food restaurants

offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads.

Other major brands

McDonald's, a noted fast-food supplier, opened its first franchised restaurant

in the US in 1955 (1974 in the UK). . He introduced uniform products, identical in

all respects at each outlet, to increase sales. At the same time, Kroc also insisted on

cutting food costs as much as possible, eventually using the McDonald's

Corporation's size to force suppliers to conform to this.

Other major American fast food chains are Wendy's, What burger, Hardee's,

Burger King, Arby's, Jack in the Box, Runza Restaurants, Good Times, Chick-fil-A,

White Castle (restaurant), Captain D's and the portfolio of restaurants owned by

Silver's, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell

How did pizza originate

The evolution of Pizza was quite a long and many Mediterranean cultures

contributed to it. There exists historical evidence that citizens of ancient Egypt,

Greece and later Rome had recipes similar to modern ones. The Egyptian had a

tradition to celebrate the Pharaoh’s birthday with spicy flat loaves (by the way the

world owes ancient Egypt the appearance of yeast and sour dough). Herodotus, an

ancient Greek historian, mentioned baked flat cakes among the Babylonian recipes

and the Greek themselves called their baked flat bread plakuntos. It is supposed that

this bread sometimes served for the plate

The word Pizza appeared in printing at the end of the X century for the first time. In

Neapolitan dialect the word pizza was used to denote the way of snatching

something from the hot oven. Though long before that Romans used the word picea

to describe the bottom of the loaf blackened by ashes after baking in the oven. There

is the verb pizzicare denoting to pinch in modern Italian. On the other hand

etymology suggests the relation to the Near-Eastern pita; e.g. in Calabria they

sometimes say pitta (flat) instead of pizza, though tomatoes are seldom used for

cooking in this case.

So, the short definition for pizza may be as follows: a round and a very thin layer of

yeast dough with different delicious stuff on top baked in the oven. In century pizza

was already the most popular snack of the Spanish soldiers to have occupied Naples

and Tavern a Cerriglio was their favorite place to visit. They often folded the flat

cake in two like a book and ate it holding in hands. It became a tradition to cook

pizza with tomatoes in the middle of the century. It took the Italian more than 200

years to get used to this strange vegetable and rid them selves of fear of it. Having

been brought from South America at the beginning of the century tomatoes were

considered to be poisonous at first and were grown as an ornamental plant. They

were called ‘golden apples’, evidently because of their small size and the yellow

colors, which was typical of them. Those were the poor from Naples who started

adding tomatoes to their bread trying to make it more appetizing. To their fortune

tomatoes grown on San Marzano farms not a far from Naples were particularly

sweet! At the end of the century the Neapolitan distinguished several settled recipes

of pizza to be stated next. Those were pizza with garlic (either rare or baked) and

olive oil, pizza with small cicinielli fish and pizza with anchovy and cheese of the

particular sort (mozzarella) brought to Italy shortly before (it had been invented by

the Hindu in the VII century and they had made it of cow (buffalo species) milk

only).

Attica Pizzeria Port’Alba was the first ever pizzery proper opened in 1830 (18 Via

Port’Alba). It has been working to this very day!!! It is interesting that before that

pizza had been sold alfresco (in the open air): either from stands situated in

immediate proximity to the ovens or from tin baskets on barrow boys’ heads. There

was a perfect oven of fire brick in Port’Alba. Later volcanic lava was recognized

surpassing as it allows reaching the required temperature of 400 °C as well as

retaining the heat. Here the Vesuvius proximity came in handy! The marble stove for

cooking pizza and shelves with ingredients were of importance as well, not only the

oven. Pizzery equipment remained the same in modern Naples. And let it be quite

hot there in summer. Never mind! This agreeable warmth combined with the unique

aroma makes up that miraculous and unmatched atmosphere in winter especially

when one is lucky to watch the master pizzaiolo at work. Later Port’Alba pizzeria

became the favorite place of the literary Bohemia. He said that pizza is Kind of flat




bread cooked at St. Denis and that at first sight it is a simple pizza but at more

detailed examination it appears to be quite intricate. Dumas expressed his view of

pizza “a otto” in a touching manner, he considered this pizza to have been cooked

eight days before it was served. Without a doubt the recipe was much more pleasant

– some individuals (the lucky ones) were allowed to pay in eight days after the

meal .A remarkable event took place in June 1889. King Umberto I and queen

Margherita were spending their holidays in their summer place – the Capodimonte

Palace in Naples as the rules of monarchy demanded to witness their presence in the

Kingdom of Both Sicilies. The Queen took a keen interest in pizza she had never

tried before and most likely she got to know about it from painters and writers

admitted to the court. It is obvious that Margherita the queen could not go to pizzeria

rejecting all the conventionalities of her royal status. That is why pizza came to her!

It was her, Margherita of Savoy, birthday when they called Raffaele Esposito, the

owner of a very popular Pizzeria di Pietro, and a famous pizzaiolo to the palace. That

what he was doing could be described in no other way than by Julius Caesar motto,

‘Working hand in hand with Rosa Brandi, his wife, (by the way their pizzeria was

called Brandi namely) Esposito presented three kinds of pizza to the royal persons.

They were pizza with fat (Hey, Ukrainians – salo!) of a special sugna sort, cheese

and basil, pizza with garlic, olive oil and tomatoes and at last the third one – pizza

with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. The latter one staggered Margherita by the

combination of colours similar to those of the Italian flag (though not only due to the

patriotic spirit). Being sagacity himself Rafaele Esposito immediately named the

third pizza Margherita.

Besides Pizza Hut and Domino’s there were Shakey's and Little Ceasar’s. The

American market met the Millenium with impressive activities: At the same time




The absolute majority of Americans (19 of 20) buys takeaway pizza or orders it to

home. Three regional standards have already formed. They follow the Neapolitan

tradition in the Eastern Coast (preferring thin pizza with crispy edges, tomato sauce,

mozzarella and vegetable and meat adding to predominate). In the west of the USA

they prefer exotic varieties of pizza like pizza with asparagus or pineapple etc. The

Middle West invented its own version of pizza with rich and fluffy base and quite

massive components on top. Such pizza is often cooked for more than half an hour

and frankly speaking has very little in common with the Italian pizza (the traditional

pizza needs several minutes cooking.




PIZZA

There are several rules to be obligatory followed for pizza to claim to the status of pizza

Pizza Dough contain Flour, Baker yeast (brewer’s yeast allowed), salt and

water. No kind of fat permitted;

The diameter of pizza should not exceed 30 cm;

The dough should be made by hands or by means of certified mixers

preventing it from overheating;

Pizza should be rolled out by hands only. All other methods including

rolling-pin application are forbidden;

Pizza should be baked in the immediate bottom of the oven. Neither frying

pans nor baking trays permitted;

The oven should be bricked and lined with fireproof materials similar to

the volcanic rock. The oven should be burned with natural wood;

Temperature in the oven should not be less than 400 °C;

How was Pizza made in ancient times




Pizza pie is the name of an oven-baked, flat, usually round bread covered

with tomato sauce with optional toppings. It is a typical dish of Neapolitan cuisine.

The crust is traditionally plain, but may also be seasoned with butter, garlic, or herbs,

or stuffed with cheese. In some pizza recipes the tomato sauce is omitted (termed

"white pizza"), or replaced with another sauce (usually garlic butter but can be

sauces made with spinach or onions). Pizza is normally eaten hot (typically at lunch

or dinner), but leftovers are often eaten cold for breakfast or as a snack. And

apparently came to mean flat bread with a cheese topping by the 14th century in

some Italian dialects. Pizzo, which means "point" in Italian, may have been an

influence. Many languages around the Mediterranean have similar words meaning

flat bread or unleavened bread, see pita.

The Italian word for a person with talent for making pizza is pizzaiolo. A

restaurant that serves pizza is called a pizzeria (from Italian); the phrase "pizza

parlor" is also used in the United States and Canada. Pizza can also be purchased in

grocery stores or supermarkets (usually, but not always, frozen); in many countries,

pizza can also be ordered by telephone (or, increasingly, via the Web) to be

delivered, hot and ready to eat, to almost any address within range of the restaurant.

History of Pizza

Crusts and Baking methods

The bread base of the pizza is called the crust. Its thickness may vary widely

according to style: thin as in hand-tossed pizza, thick as in pan pizza

In restaurants, pizza can be baked in a gas canister (stone bricks above the

heat source) oven, an electric deck oven, a conveyor belt oven or, in the case of more

expensive restaurants, a wood- or coal-fired brick oven. On deck ovens, the pizza

can be slid into the oven on a long paddle called a peel and baked directly on the hot

bricks or baked on a screen (a round metal pan that has holes in it like a screen).

When making pizza at home, it can be baked on a "pizza stone" in a regular oven to

imitate the effect of a brick oven. Another option is grilled pizza, in which the crust

is baked directly on a barbecue grill. Greek pizza, like Chicago-style pizza, is baked

in a pan rather than directly on the bricks of the pizza oven.

In home-made pizza, there are many variations on the bread used for crust. In

some countries, creations such as pita pizza, bagel pizza, matzo pizza and tortilla

pizza are popular, especially with children. In Japan, where full-size ovens are a

rarity in the home, pizza toast is a popular version.

History of Pizza Hut

Typical small town location in the U.S. Midwest

Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 by Dan and Frank Carney in Wichita, Kansas.

It was named Pizza Hut because they wanted the word "pizza" in the title and

because there were only three spaces left after "Pizza" in the sign, and the facility

was shaped like a hut. The company gained national recognition in its first-ever

advertising campaign, called "Pizza Putt to Pizza Hut," which first debuted on

American television in 1965. That first TV commercial was directed by Randall

Parker. The company was purchased by PepsiCo, Inc. in 1977

Pizza Hut was spun-off from Pepsi Cola, in October 1997, into Tricon Global

Restaurants, which has been renamed Yum! Brands, Inc.. The most distinct symbol

of Pizza Hut is the trademarked design of the restaurant's roof, which is a red painted

Mansard roof; It is incorporated into the logo. The current design was adopted in

1969, and updated in 1999.

Pizza Hut's Pan Pizza

The most commonly sold food at the restaurants is the "Pan Pizza", which

usually comes in four different sizes including Personal Pan (which is an individual

serving), Small, Medium, and Large, in a variety of toppings, including "specialty"

styles. Pan Pizza has a thicker crust than most other commercially available pizzas.

In addition to the Pan Pizza, Pizza Hut also sells "Stuffed Crust" (with the outermost

edge wrapped around a coil of mozzarella cheese), "Hand-Tossed" (which is more

like traditional pizzeria crusts), "Thin 'N Crispy" (a thin and crispy dough which was

the original crust), and the "4 for All" (a medium sized pizza that has been divided

into 4 individual serving sized squares). The purpose of the "4 for all" is so 4 people

could enjoy separate recipes for the price of one medium pizza.

in other words doing ordinary things in extraordinary way. In their service they never

think anything is impossible but they always think is possible for the customer. During

my course of project I came to know that one night a group of 4 people were passing

from the pizza hut they saw some of the employees were cleaning the restaurant. They

were traveling from belgaum to Bangalore they were very hungry they thought they

might get something in pizza hut they dropped down from their vehicle asked the

employees and they said pizza hut is closed but the customer requested they said “are

yaar bahut tez bhook lagi hai hum log Bangalore ja rahe hai pizza hut se bahut ummid

lagi thi ki kuch tho khane ko milaga “ then the employees said “ sir give me a minute let

me speak with my manager they come back after 5 minutes and he said sir I will give you

pastas to you they made the pastas and gave to the customer but as accounting was closed

for the that day so did not charge anything to the customer. The customers were very




delighted and they wanted to pay the amount. Later on the customer gave the phone no to

him and also had taken manager number they called the manager next day asked the bill

and deposited the amount to his account. This was a small incident of customer mania

apart from this there was lot of instances of customer mania.

Delivery

Pizza hut delivers the pizzas within 30 minutes for the specific distance. They also have

the same time bound services dispatcher or home delivery manager is entirely responsible

for home service business. Home service business is divided in two parts that is home

service order taking and dispatching. Home service order taking includes attending the

phone calls taking down the order and resolving all the concern. Pizza hut has a standard

script for order taking which changes as per the offers but they got standard telephonic

slandered which needs to followed by the order taker

1. Always pick-up the call before 4th ring.

2. Never put the customer on hold if its necessary then take prior permission and get

back to him within 30 second

3. T hank the customer for holding.

4. Suggest the additional item from the menu

5. Repeat the order

6. Inform the total amount due and time for the delivery

7. Thank the customer by name

Dispatching is nothing but sending the order to the customer and guiding the pilot and

following the order with the make table, pasta and common runner.

Dispatcher needs to send the pizza from the store within mention in store time that is 14

min. He is also responsible for cashing out the order for the order.

Delivery services also follow the same set of CHAMPS.

In every month delivery also got champs and they treat delivery as separate channel.

They got different employee p&l for delivery business so they could measure the service

standard. In terms of satisfaction it’s really difficult to satisfy the customer the only way

is to deliver the pizza on time and every time.




Pizza hut delivers the pizzas in 30 minutes but they never compromise in terms of safety

and security of their pilots. A pilot needs to follow a standard which is called rider

service essentials. They are

1. Always hustle of the bike not on the bike.

2. Verify the order at the door step

3. Be polite and professional

4. Cash out correctly and quickly.

Take Away

In term of take away the service is very easy as customer who places the order they are

mostly transit customer. They also need the same hospitality what the other customer




gets. As customer is in hurry so they needs to greet within 30sec. and they are suppose to

get the order within 14 minutes. In term of slandered measure there are chances that

champs is not going to happen in delivery but its going to happen in Take away. In terms

of busy hour or high volume restaurant its always suggested to the server to suggest the

customer for take away. There are some out let in India that has only taken away

business.

Like sigma in Bangalore. They are gone to come up with lots of Take Away business out

let as cost of investment is less as well as operating cost is also less. In abroad they got

lots of Take away out let. Take away run with the same offer what delivery has but Dine

in got different offer.

In terms of different service problem they also follow two rules

1 Apologize and show concern

2. Offer a solution

3. Inform the manager.

4. Check back on satisfaction and thank the customer

And the other rule is

1. Never let the customer go unhappy.

2. Solve the problem before it becomes complaint

3. Treat the customer as the way you wanted to be treated.

4. Never argue with customer.

5. Never blame other crew member.




6. Thank the customer.

The above mentioned rules are used in all the channels to satisfy the customer.

they want, when they want it and where they want it, even if they are in space.

Wherever there is life, there will be Pizza Hut pizza," said Gier. "After checking and re-

checking the address, we made a few minor route adjustments to ensure that the pizza

would successfully make it to the ISS. If space tourism is going to be a reality, Pizza

Hut pizza will make the trip even better.

Data collection instruments

Secondary Data : Internet, company profile of Pizza Hut

Sample Size : 30

Sample Frame : Customers who come to pizza hut

Sampling Method : Convenient sampling

Pilot survey is done on the basis of questionnaire which helps me to frame validity and

reliable of the Instrument used in collecting the data.

Sales promotion is any initiative undertaken by an organization to promote an increase in

sales, usage or trial of a product or service (i.e. initiatives that are not covered by the

other elements of the marketing communications or promotions mix). Sales promotions

are varied. Often they are original and creative, and hence a comprehensive list of all

available techniques is virtually impossible (since original sales promotions are launched

daily!). Here are some examples of popular sales promotions activities

a) Buy-One-Get-One-Free (BOGOF) - which is an example of a self-liquidating

promotion. For example if a loaf of bread is priced at $1, and cost 10 cents to

manufacture, if you sell two for $1, you are still in profit - especially if there is a

corresponding increase in sales. This is known as a PREMIUM sales promotion

tactic.




b) Customer Relationship Management (CRM) incentives such as bonus points

or money off coupons. There are many examples of CRM, from banks to

supermarkets.

c) New media - Websites and mobile phones that support a sales promotion. For

example, in the United Kingdom, Nestle printed individual codes on KIT-KAT

packaging, whereby a consumer would enter the code into a dynamic website to

see if they had won a prize. Consumers could also text codes via their mobile

phones to the same effect.

d) Merchandising additions such as dump bins, point-of-sale materials and product

demonstrations.

e) Free gifts e.g. Subway gave away a card with six spaces for stickers with each

sandwich purchase. Once the card was full the consumer was given a free

sandwich.

f) Discounted prices e.g. Budget airline such as Easy Jet and Ryan air, e-mail their

customers with the latest low-price deals once new flights are released, or

additional destinations are announced.

g) Joint promotions between brands owned by a company, or with another

company's brands. For example fast food restaurants often run sales promotions

where toys, relating to a specific movie release, are given away with promoted

meals.

h) Joint promotions between brands owned by a company, or with another

company's brands. For example fast food restaurants often run sales promotions

where toys, relating to a specific movie release, are given away with promoted

meals.

i) Vouchers and coupons, often seen in newspapers and magazines, on packs.

j) Competitions and prize draws, in newspapers, magazines, on the TV and radio,

on The Internet, and on packs.

k) Cause-related and fair-trade products that raise money for charities, and the less

well off farmers and producers, are becoming more popular.

designed offers can fetch a good amount of customers and also increase the sales.

. Therefore Pizza Hut must take an initiative to organize such more discount offers to satisfy the customer.

Suggestions & Recommendations

After interacting with consumers, it was found out that though Pizza Hut is a

popular brand but the interest and excitement among the customers for the band is

decreasing in Hubli City. And the general feedback from the consumers is that restaurant

should be made more exciting with additional Promotional Activities.

To Pizza Hut:

1. To organize at least a few promotional activities in order to build up the

customers Interest and also to attract customers towards pizza hut.

2. Pizza Hut should also organize certain events in the restaurant like contests, in

order to keep consumers coming back for more. To organize events help pizza to

attract customers there by sales can be increased to certain extent.

3. In order to increase sales, Pizza Hut can also have corporate tie ups within their

reach in the city.

4. The company should also concentrate on Low price promotional strategy.

5. Variety of Food and smoking zone is also the need of the hour




Conclusion




Conclusion

The study helped me gain valuable insights in Understanding how

promotional activities help the companies to increase its sales. This project titled “To

study whether the Decreasing sales of Pizza Hut can be increased through promotional

activities” has been a knowledge gaining experience for me.

By interacting with the respondents I have been able to understand that designing

promotional activity is an art and it takes a very strong brand image for a company to

successfully increase its sales through Promotional activities. The results of the survey

proved to be both disappointing and encouraging. The respondents are well aware of the

brand which is a good sign but the brand lacks interest & awareness and to add to it the

brand still has a long way to go in terms of competition.
