Working At Pizza Hut

Somebody once told me in all seriousness that the male employees jerk off into the cheese they put in the stuffed crust. Is this true?

At our store, 0% of employees jerk off into the cheese of a stuffed crust. Mainly because you can see directly into the kitchen to the make table and oven. I can't speak for other stores, but I don't think this is likely lol.

Ive noticed that whenever I would choose to sit in the store to order/eat my pizza, the service was horrid. What could be an explanation for this? Do you guys get any sort of customer service training?

It depends on the employee's job. Generally, everyone does, but like servers, because they interact with customers more, have more intensive customer service training. Really, it just depends on the store and the management because in all reality, we all get the same training vids from corporate. So, there's no excuse for someone to be ***. I mean, I hate my job, but I try to give the best experience for people because THAT IS my job. I honestly don't have a great explanation because I try not to judge others. Have you tried to file a complaint?

Does Pizza Hut actually get a lot of customers? (I'm from New England and people never get pizza from pizza hut and dominoes)

In subcultures where pizza is not a huge thing, yes. Like, I used to live in New York where pizza is an actual thing, and small mom and pop pizza shops flourish. In places like that, Pizza Hut doesn't get a whole lot of business. However, I live in the South right now, and there's like zero pizza culture here. So, Pizza Hut and Domino's are big things. It just depends where you go, tbh.

You mentioned earlier that at your pizza hut, not all of your ingredients are fresh. What exactly is the most unhealthy thing you've seen at your job?

"Unhealthy"? Anything with cheese, and because it's a pizza place, people get fried cheese, extra cheese on pizza, cheese sticks, and cheese on their salad. It makes me gag. Most rotten and gross thing? LETTUCE AND ROMAINE. Those go bad so easily, and then they just rot over everything else in the box. But I did see some cherry tomatoes in the cooler yesterday just covered in black ***..

Former Pizza Hut employee here... Do you think the computer system is unnecessarily complicated too?? I am a computers guy, but jesus, you have to press like 50 buttons to get one thing

Yes!! It was very difficult to learn, and even now, six months later I still can't find some things! And most times, they don't even take away the old products right away. So the screen gets crowded.

Have you seen somebody intentionally mess with someone's pizza because of they way the customer treated them? (i.e. spit, ***, idk)

Not that I've seen. I think, at least in our store, no matter how rude and disgusting a customer is, messing with someone's food is just beyond unacceptable.. now matter how hard I wish to spit in your drink..

How long have you worked at Pizza Hut? Also, what are the best perks you get from the job?

I've work at Pizza Hut for about six months, but I had family in management before and helped them out a lot with the restaurant. Best perks? ~*discount wiiiiiiiiiings*~ Also, I suppose a perk is the "points" you get as an employee. Every month if your store is "gold star" you get points to your account, like arcade tickets, and you can cash them in for a variety of (pretty lame) prizes like Pizza Hut cups, jackets, backpacks, etc. I think the biggest prize on the list in like a paid day off, but you have to work for like a year to even achieve that.

1.What customers did you hate the most? 2. Why was it customers ordering huge orders 5 minutes before closing?

I hated people that were rude for o reason and acted like they were better than me.... And also... What?

Who was your worst customer?

This dumb broad that tried to convince me that we sold sandwiches...

What is the best way to prevent "malicious" people from getting a job in fast food restaurants?... im talking about people who spill in your food, or people who doesn't care about your health and they dont wash their hands while making your food or people who can poison your food?... i will also like to know your opinion on this people and how do you manage them, Thank you.

You'll never be able to tell what kind of people will do that until they're hired, as for dealing with them, well, any sign of them doing them will get them a write up at the very least, and extreme dislike from me ( meaning I'll be less willing to let things they do slide so they get more write ups and then eventually fired (: ) as for what I think about them? Sure sometimes people forget to wash their hands if their in a hurry or something okay, I get that. But theres a differnlencr2 between being forgetful and downright lazy and disgusting, the way I manage stuff like that with my employees is I wouldn't say anything the first time I catch them doing something minor, but as it progresses I'll bring it up and start punishments as fit. As for major stuff like spitting. That's completely unexcused and doez result in a write up and more than likely suspension, and loss of hours following

A pizza hut near me has a banner saying that they're hiring drivers and managers. I've been working in pizza for the past 4 years (not chain places though). What would be the chances of me getting the manager job/ how much would it pay to start off? Ps- would you recommend it?

I would say apply for both positions, then when you go into the interview let the manager know that you have experience in pizza, but wanna start off as a delivery driver to learn how everything works and get trained in management subtly as you go, until you can fufill the position, as for working there, to be honest it's hard, you have to do a lot of predicting, and strategy, knowing exactly what to do if you run out of dough, and when it will happen, sruff like that, you have yo have good people skills, with customers and employees, if you keep your employees happy they'll work for you no problem, but if you're an *** they won't stay late if you need them too or anything like that. As for pay that depends on where you work. GM's get paid based on how luch money the store brings in (salary) and Shift managers get paid hourly. I started at 10.50 but they usually get started at 10.00

When I was in Highschool I worked at a Pizza Hut as a cook. One of our managers was this greasy meatball of a man who would likely catch flame if he walked by a candle. Everything about him was unsanitary, but as a 16 year old kid I didn't care or really interact with him much. My job was to take the pizza out of the oven, cut it, box it, and pack it for the drivers. If a pizza was wrong or the pan hit the floor we had to pt it aside to donate to a food pantry or something. Sometimes though this manager would let us eat the defects. Usually it was pizza that he wanted. He would go to the Mexican cooks making the pizzas and bother them, telling them to make a stuffed crust cheese without "that butter spray ***" on it. They didn't like him, but they did it anyways. When the pizza came to my side, he would slur words at me telling me to touch the pizza pan on the floor. And the rule is that if a pizza touches the floor (still in the pan even, so the pizza is fine), then it is not suitable for the customer. He would still have me cut and box the pizza, but then he would take it back into his office and literally eat the whole thing alone. It was always a stuffed-crust pan pizza. So much oil on it that the pan had an inch of grease sitting that wasn't absorbed into the dough. My question is, do you get free pizza from being a manager? Or do you have to pay for your pizza? As a follow-up, perhaps you can be getting free pizza but you are missing the opportunities?

Great question! To answer your question, no, managers do not get any special treament that the emplyees do not, such as getting free pizza, bu that's not to say that if the crew was doing well I wouldn't let them cook up some free pizzas for themselves amd eat them, hell I did it all the time, if I do it, why shouldn't the employees get to? They work just as hard. So rightfully, no I don't get free pizzas, but I do make them and take them home or something until it starts showing drastically in the inventory count. As for the sanatary issues about your boss. I would've punched him, buy hey that's me, being a manager is all aboit good judgement. I mean yeah if the pizza pan touches the ground, I wouldnt serve it, but I mean if it has a smal deffect like the crust not being buttered just let it go, noones gonna notice. And that manager sounds disgusting... I'm not sure if that answerwd your question... If it didnt feel free to ask me again!
