Nothing is more watched then when the two final teams in the NFL go face to face at the Super Bowl. People from all around the world tune in and cheer for the team they want to win. Whats better then hanging out with those you love with food and your choice of drink? But the question is....what to eat? Some like to do their own thing, pick up snacks, hors devours, the whole mix of things. Others like to go out and eat at a restaurant or bar and grill. For those who are true Americans we go the good old American way, pizza! Nothing tops off watching the Super bowl with friends and enjoying a big pizza.
That Is why I feel bad for all those employees who get scheduled to work at Pizza Hut(R) on the big day. "As football prepares to crown a new champion, Pizza Hut(R) prepares for the company's biggest day of the year, one in which approximately 2.5 million orders are placed for pizza, pasta and wings(Skinner)." Not only do they have to miss one of the biggest watch athletic sport event, they have to work on the busiest day of the year! It is said that on the big day, Pizza Hut(R)s business increases about 55 percent.
Some interesting facts that Pizza Hut(R) posted are:
- Will sell enough pizza to cover more than 50 football fields
- Employees would cover all 32 NFL fields lying head-to-toe
- If each slice of Pizza Hut(R) pizza sold were laid end to end, the pizza trail would stretch halfway across the United States
- Pepperoni is the most requested pizza topping, followed by Italian sausage and extra cheese
- Anticipates selling more orders of Tuscani Pastas, including the new Tuscani Lasagna, than there were fans at the league's two conference championship games
- The number of WingStreet(R) wings expected to be sold would be enough to give a chicken wing to every citizen of Phoenix and Pittsburgh.
Pizza Hut(R) also introduced thier new Tuscani Pastas. This with the pizza and wings should help to bring in even more profits.
The article I wrote about called, Football's Big Day is Busiest Day of the Year for Pizza Hut, hits up the topic of how big pizza is during the game and how Pizza Hut(R) has its largest sales. I liked this article because not only am I one of those who buy pizza on the big day, but I have had to work on Super Bowl weekend. The article hits up the two types of different public, the internal and external. The owner writes to tell customers about their good deals and how busy they are, which is the external. He also adds choices for the game day along with a strategy on how to order. To hit up the internal public, he writes about his employees and what they have to go through. Not only does the owner have to be aware of the customers and connecting with them but he must let his employees know that he understands what they go through. He probably could have added more to his article, when it comes to deals or how they work when their that busy. I have to admit, although I feel for the employees, I will once again be one of the many to order a pepperoni pizza and maybe even one of the pastas!
