PIZZA HUT BIBLE.

Let me explain some of the procedures which are followed in fast food chains religiously.This one is from Pizza Hut.
These procedures form the very core of the Standardization process in these chains and are primarily the “deskilling” factor for the jobs.
These standards are to be followed “as it is”, without applying any “sense”; common sense or otherwise.As a matter of fact a “ideal” employee would follow these procedures without any thoughts.
The whole idea is to bring these procedures into practice without any flaw.

Motto is not to make a “better” pizza but to deliver the same pizza as it was delivered yesterday.
Uniform product.Not the better product.
