PIZZA HUT SETS ALL-TIME DIGITAL SALES RECORD, SURPASSES $10 MILLION ON SUNDAY

PLANO, TEXAS (February 5, 2015) – After revamping its menu with new specialty pizzas and crust flavors, Pizza Hut, the world’s largest pizza chain, recorded its biggest digital sales day in company history on Sunday.

The company, which also redesigned its digital apps and website late last year, tallied well over $10 million in digital sales, surpassing previous highs by halftime of the game on Sunday.

“Our biggest day of the year was only going to be made bigger following all the work we did late last year to take the entire pizza category to another level,” said Doug Terfehr, Pizza Hut spokesperson. “It takes a tremendous team to make this possible, and we couldn’t be more proud of our entire system for this effort.”

Pizza Hut introduced its Flavor of Now menu and new seamless digital platforms in November, now providing customers with a variety of sauces, drizzles and crust flavors, and more than two billion potential combinations on any pizza.
