History of Pizza Hut:

The legacy of Pizza Hut began in 1958, when two college students from Wichita, Kansas, Frank and Dan Carney, were approached by a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor. Although the concept was relatively new to many Americans at that time, the brothers quickly saw the potential of this new enterprise.

5

After borrowing $600 from their mother, they purchased some second-hand equipment and rented a small building on a busy intersection in their home- town. The result of their entrepreneurial efforts was the first Pizza Hut restaurant, and the foundation for what would become the largest and most successful pizza restaurant company in the world.

Over the past four decades we've built a reputation for excellence that has earned us the respect of consumers and industry experts alike. Our products have been voted Number One in countless consumer surveys nationwide. And our accomplishments as an innovative business leader have been cited by such respected publications as Restaurant Business, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal.

Pizza Hut, Inc., a division of Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., has more than 7,200 units in the U.S. and 3,000 units in more than 86 other countries.

What did it take to build a successful business of that magnitude? It took hard work, to be sure. And it took a commitment to quality and a dedication to service and value. But perhaps as much as anything, it took the qualities of entrepreneurship, growth and leadership which have characterized our business through nearly four decades of success.

Pizza Hut franchisees, for example, exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit which launched the system back in 1958. Through their interest and initiative, the Pizza Hut system was able to develop new territories both in the United States and overseas.

Tricon is the parent company to two other segment leaders, Taco Bell and KFC. When combined with Pizza Hut, these organizations make up the world's largest restaurant group, with almost twice as many units as McDonald's.

When it comes to leadership our proactive approach to product development and marketing provides ample evidence of our abilities. Beginning with the original thin crust pizza first served in 1958, Pizza Hut   has made continuing efforts to refine our products, and to develop new products suited to every consumer taste.

Today, our five major products, Pan Pizza, Thin 'N Crispy pizza, Hand-Tossed Style pizza, Stuffed Crust Pizza and The Big New Yorker Pizza are loved by millions around the world and have become the standard by which all others are judged.

We are working together to run great restaurants in order to be the best at making and serving the best pizza in America. That means we're willing and able to go to any lengths to make our customer's experience with Pizza Hut an enjoyable one. And it means we strive to present the finest products the industry has to offer, and to provide those products wherever and whenever people want them.

Yes, we've come a long way since that opening night back in 1958 when pizzas were given away to generate interest in the fledgling business. And through the strength of our heritage, our culture and our people, we look forward to even more success in the years ahead.

Pizza Hut is the world's largest pizza restaurant chain, with nearly 12,000 restaurants, delivery-carry out units and kiosks in more than 86 countries. It employs more than 240,000 people worldwide.

Pizza Hut uses 2.5 percent of all the milk (over 3.2 billion pounds) produced in the U.S. every year for cheese. That cheese production requires a herd of 250,000 dairy cows producing at full capacity 365 days a year.  Pizza Hut uses more than 360 million pounds of REAL cheese per year; of that, 335 million pounds is mozzarella cheese.  Stuffed Crust Pizza used approximately 50% of the 35 million pounds of string cheese produced in the U.S. in 1995.

The highest volume Pizza Hut restaurant in the world is in Paris, followed by stores located in Moscow, Hong Kong and the U.K.  Outside the U.S., the country with the most Pizza Hut units is Australia, followed by Canada and the U.K.

Pizza Hut uses more than 700 million pounds of pepperoni per year. If you lay those pepperoni slices side by side, they would create a paths that would stretch around the world twice and go to the moon!

Why Pizza Hut??When Dan and Carney lease the building for their first

Conduct a Market Analysis / Situation Analysis

Overview

Whether you are starting a new business or launching a new product, conducting a marketing analysis is the first step in determining if there is a need or audience for your idea. Knowing the market's needs and how it is currently serviced provides you with key information that is essential in developing your product/service and marketing plan. Too often, businesses spend thousands of dollars launching a "new" idea with a limited market because of competition. The owner is forced to reevaluate his strategy and determine if there is room for another player.

Although the quality of the product is critical, your development of the best product on the market will not necessarily correlate with the most sales. Up to 50 percent of a product's price can be for marketing. The company who wins the marketing game generally will capture the larger share of the market. For related information, see Identify Your Target Market.

Conducting a market analysis will help you:

1. Prepare to enter a new market 2. Launch a new product/service 3. Start a new business

At the completion of this exercise, you should be able to:

Explain the concepts of a marketing analysis Determine if there is a need for your idea or product/service Identify a new market Analyze your current market

I. Marketing Analysis - What Is It? Why Should You Do It?

Although the terms "marketing" and "marketing analysis" can both be described as games of information, they are not to be confused. Marketing encompasses all of the activities that go into promoting a product or service. A marketing analysis is the actual assessment of the target population, competition and needs for marketing that product or service.

The marketing analysis process can be broken down into six steps:

1. Defining the problem 2. Analysis of the situation 3. Obtaining data that is specific to the problem 4. Analysis and interpreting the data 5. Fostering ideas and problem solving 6. Designing a plan

So, why should you embark on the market analysis process? The primary reasons are:

To determine if there is a market for your products or services To establish the need for developing a marketing plan To ascertain market information that will assist in the sale of

your product or service

Before embarking on the complete process, complete the following Market Analysis Questionnaire.

Market Analysis Questionnaire

16

To begin the market analysis process, answer the following questions. If you cannot answer every question, focus on finding the answers even if it means consulting others. This article can be downloaded or printed to enable you to complete the questionnaire.

These questions will enhance your understanding and knowledge of your target market and industry, and ultimately determine: Is there a need for my product or service?

1. What defined market am I trying to reach?   2. What specific companies are servicing this market?

a. Are they successful? b. Are there other companies servicing this market with a

similar product? c. Are they successful? d. What is their market share?  

3. Is the market saturated or wide open? If so, why?   4. What is the size of the market?

a. Is it a growing market? b. Is the industry stable, volatile, growing or trendy?  

5. How can I reach this market? a. How do my competitors reach the market?  

6. What are the business models of my competitors?   7. What do customers expect from this type of product or service?   8. What core competencies must the product or service have?   9. What are customers willing to pay for this type of product or

service?   10. What is my competitive advantage?

II. The Complete Process:

A. Defining The Problem

Defining the problem is crucial to conducting a successful marketing analysis. This may require a great deal of time but it is well worth the time and energy expended. Defining the objectives is tantamount to a successful marketing campaign. Many individuals waste valuable time performing good research on the wrong problem.

The following questions will assist you in defining the problem:

1. Are we trying to market our entire product or service line? Or, are we trying to hone in on a new product or a new service?  

17

2. What specific marketing strategies have we utilized in the past two years?

a. How has each strategy affected sales? b. What strategies are we currently using? c. How do our competitors market their product?  

3. How much money is allocated to marketing?   4. When making a sale, do we survey our customers to determine a

referral source? 5. Do we thank our referral source?   6. Why would someone choose our product?

a. What differentiates our product from our competitors' products?

b.c. Why do people choose our competitors' products or

services? d. Do we need to enhance our current product or service?  

7. Who are our customers? a. Are they from a specific region? b. How do we attract new customers? c. How do we increase sales from current customers?

Many companies fail to understand the nature of the problem before trying to solve problems related to sales. A classic example occurred in the soft drink industry when Coke and Pepsi, the two top soft drink rivals increased the intensity of marketing efforts to battle for higher sales. At the same time, Dr Pepper's revenues began to decline, a problem that was attributed to a weak promotional campaign. Subsequently, the "Be a Pepper" slogan was instituted. Although the ads were a hit, revenues continued to decrease. The marketing managers had to reanalyze their problem.

Focused research revealed that the target population for Dr Pepper differed from Coke and Pepsi. It was found that Dr Pepper's target market believe life should be lived in accordance with one's own set of personal values and not based on the expectations of others. Cola drinkers, on the other hand, try to win the approval of others. Despite the catchy slogan, Dr Pepper's marketers turned away prospects with a campaign that invited them to be part of a large group of "Peppers."

The soft drink industry clearly exemplifies the importance of defining the problem. It is important not to confuse the symptom with the problem. If a company is having trouble selling a certain product, it doesn't mean that there isn't a need. The problem may be distribution and/or pricing. Mistaking symptoms for problems will lead to misguided research and serious mistakes.

18

B. Analysis of the Situation

An analysis of the situation is an informal survey of what information is available in the problem area. The analysis will help define the problem and ascertain the need for additional information. This process entails informal talks with informed people. Informed individuals can be others in the company or outsiders with knowledge about the industry or product. In some instances, customers are contacted to provide information.

http://va-interactive.com/inbusiness/editorial/sales/ibt/target_market.htmlWhen the marketing manager is unfamiliar with the situation, the analysis step is of primary importance. It is important to understand the problem area - including the nature of the target market, competition, the marketing mix and the external environment. Without this knowledge, costly mistakes may result. An example of this problem would be a retailer who wants to survey his customers. A research firm is hired to do in-store interviews.

Uncontrollable environment:  

Whereas the market and the competitive environment are essentially outside the control of a company, its own situation should be largely within its sphere of control.  For this reason, the company's situation is referred to as the controllable environment. 

Each company keeps a clear view of the factors and environment that it can control and not. This factors may have a major impact on the over all outcome of the company. Research shows pizza hut are not facing any problems relating to their uncontrollable environments. They clam to have a total control over all situation and environments.

Key companiesAs there are very few international pizza companies in Pakistan

and even they are at lower levels. Pizza hut claims that they do not face any threats from the other pizza companies as they are either at a lower level or at local market level. They claim to have no problem in attaining the market share with comparison to the competitors. They are only focused about their own product and service.The only international competitors of pizza hut in Pakistan are Dominoes pizza but still they are not affected.
