What amazes me is that Pizza hut considers $1 million in 4 months "unbelievable growth".

3 months after the introduction of the iOS app pizza hut also reported it generated 1 million dollar In sales

Pizza hut has revenues of $5.7 Billion (2012).  $1 million growth in sales is 0.02% increase.

When they say "unbelievable growth", they must mean unbelievably crap.

You make it sound so easy.. . You should sell your ideas to get sales worth up to 3 million dollar a year.. Every company would hire you.. Or do you just snap your fingers to make money magicly appear?

I'm gonna guess that this had to do with the "Order anytime from the Pizza hut app and get 200, 400, 800, or 1600 MS points" deal.



"We're always looking at ways to give our audience more of what they're interested in," said Microsoft's Larry Hryb when the app launched.

Yep. More food, it being America and all that.

No not at all, but it's a matter of perspective.  For an individual or a small business 3 million of sales is a huge deal.  For a multi-billion dollar company a 3 million dollar project is small and not thinking big enough.  They need ideas that are 10 or 100 times bigger.

Same as if you're a professional who earns $100,000, an idea that gives earns you an extra $50 a year is not "unbelievable growth".

matter of perspective only works when you know all the information.. Did you know that Pizza hut expect 50 percent from their orders to be from the mobile app from iOS and android in the future? Already More people order from it then through their website.. It also started with 1 million dollar.. The Return on Investment is huge for Pizza Hut.. If that extra 50 dollar turns to be a 500 next year and 5000 the following year every proffesional would be happy when he invested 1 dollar to make it happen.

It's a great and easy app to use. I like to so much better than try to talk to people on the phone (which I can do just fine.)

Also, it's nice with your friends is they can review stuff easily before you confirm. So no, 'hey I wanted extra wings' issues.

It's brought me back to Pizza Hut.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
