Thread 21663385

My pizza hut got rid of its booth seating and the chandeliers. And replaced with cheap chairs. For some reason, hopefully not a pointless one.

What killed their indoor dining so hard?

All Pizza Hut's did that ding dong. Grown the fuck up.

they don't want people dining in. it requires so much more in staffing and maintenance, they're trying to influence their customers to get takeout pizza and not be comfortable dining in.

There's a whole branch of behavioural science that business use to get their desired behaviours from their customers. Lots of cafes with limited space deliberately design for poor acoustics because it keeps people from loitering and occupying stools and tables for too long. You can reduce the average dine-in time at a cafe from 20mins to 4mins just by tweaking the reverb time, early reflection pattern, and reducing the critical distance

>grow the fuck up
Maybe i want to sit in and eat with my lady or take my future kids there like the fucking grown ups did when I was smaller,you drooling fucking faggot.

>all those stains in the rug

if that carpet could talk

It's a shame. Most Pizza Hut restaurants in Asia are still premium sit-down dining. The one near my place even uses robots to bring pizzas to your table.
McDonald's also has robots here
They creep me out

>>21663446
I fucking hate those things. I went to a dumperringh place once and they had those fucking things driving around delivering food. They blast music and so many retards leave shit in the aisle like chairs they don't push in, prams, luggage and bags, etc. so the fucking robots get stuck going in circles and blast music. At one point I had 4 of the fucking things near me just spinning in circles because they couldn't get through and I almost fucking lost it

this is the benefit of mixed urban zoning. going to a restaurant down the street is a way of life instead of a planned ordeal.

Why is pizza hut so good bros, it's the best fucking franchise by far

There’s a donut shop by me that did the same thing, huge open area now with a few tables around the perimeter. Very unwelcoming and I don’t appreciate the inhospitality

Is this one in Georgia?

>>21663418
Not that guy, but the days where you can do that at Pizza Hut are gone and boy were they fucking great (I'm 43) and grew up doing shit just like that.

See if there's a Johnny's Pizza around you. Friendlier chain and even though the pizza is hit/miss at locations the experience is usually top notch especially if you're white (unfortunately I'm not).

Probably to make the space more attractive to potential buyers who now won't have to tear out all those huge booths.

>they don't want people dining in
This. There aren't even any Pizza Huts left in my area, just "Pizza Hut Express".

Sorry, zoomers, you will never ever know what the real world was like. But maybe you can watch your favorite Twitch streamer play some "Pizza Hut Simulator" VR game from Steam Early Access while you scroll Youtube shorts on your phone and munch SSRIs like candy in between Zoom classes.

Nobody wants to sit in a fucking pizza hut to eat. Do you not have a home?

>>21663421
yeah because it costs 3 weeks of the average local wage to dine there

>>21663450
lol that's near me

>>21664165
there's a much better dumperringh place near the station, it's next to the Woolworth's Metro above the BWS right at Chatswood Interchange. maybe we can get some dumplings sometime :]

>>21664167
I walk past all the time but never tried

>>21664175
well it is Chatswood, shit happens. but also this is why I eat out or get delivery less than once a month now. I don't want to eat out of anyone's fucksgusting kitchens.

>>21664177
I just eat at the RSL, roast of the day is less than 20 bucks

>>21664183
a much safer bet and always good

>>21663385 (OP)
My Pizza Hut burned down years ago and still hasn't been rebuilt. The next closest one has no dining area. I'm more mad they charge $2 extra for pan pizza these days, what bullshit.

>>21664506
isnt it all pan pizza?

>>21664701
No, they mostly do shitty "hand tossed" as a default now. You have to specify pan pizza and it's a $2 charge, which I again state is bullshit.

*slaps its arse* Hey *winks*

I was driving through Montana I think and stopped at a little hotel. Right next to it was a Hut just like you remember.

It was snowing terribly and it was the closest place that wasn’t a gambling hall or burger fast food.

The wind beat against the window panes. You could even see deer outside the window even though it seemed so harsh.

This was like 6-7 years ago. Bet that place has been lost just like everything and everyone else.

>>21664981
I was eating pizza at pizza hut during the 1991 gulf war.
Good time to be a little kid.

It means they're installing a buffet you retards

>>21668748
