“Source of growth”
The Pizza Hut app has only been around for some 4 months on Xbox 360 and has already breached the million dollar milestone (roughly 750,000 euro): “It’s been a source of unbelievable growth for us”, as director of public relations Dough Terfehr told Polygon. “When you talk about a sweet spot for the pizza category it’s definitely
gamers and gaming.”
Pizza Hut is unwilling to
divulge whether it will create a similar app for other consoles, like those
made by Nintendo and Sony. The chain will however improve its iOS and Android apps. One of its main competitors, Domino’s Pizza, also aims to be available at often original places and has therefore put up a collaboration
with Ford, to enable pizza orders in certain car models.
