About Pizza Hut

Integrity is our core value.
At Pizza Hut, our culture reflects our values. This includes a shared vision of who we are and where we're headed. And it encompasses everything from the way we treat our customers to how we deal with our competitors.

One of the most important values within the Pizza Hut culture is integrity. Our people are committed to providing uncompromising quality and to providing service that is personal. In fact, our people strive each day to provide what we call "customer mania." We want to give the kind of service that will make our customers tell stories to their family and friends about Pizza Hut.

Our commitment to integrity extends to the role we play in the communities we serve. Wanting to instill a life-long love of reading in children, we created the BOOK IT!^® National Reading Incentive Program in 1984. This unique program, awards a complimentary Personal Pan Pizza^® and special recognition to elementary school children who achieve set reading goals. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley cited BOOK IT!^® as the model for corporate/education partnership. Today, more than 50,000 public, private and parochial schools use BOOK IT!^® in over 900,000 classrooms.

Our integrity is also exemplified by how we treat our employees. We invest heavily in our people through skills training and management development. We encourage them to think unconventionally, to take prudent risks to achieve results. And we provide an informal environment with open communications to give them the freedom to make contributions on their own initiative. This is a part of our culture we value highly. We call it "ownership." It's the feeling that comes from knowing you can affect the company's direction through your expertise, innovative ideas and hard work. And because we give our employees a stake in the company's success, they take on the kinds of challenges people in other businesses only dream of.
