About Pizza Hut:

Sixty years ago, two Wichita State University students, brothers Dan and Frank Carney, took it upon themselves to open a restaurant serving the (at the time) little known food, pizza. With only $600 to invest, the brothers named their restaurant"Pizza Hut" due to the modest premises they were occupying and opened their doors to a sceptical (but hungry) citizenry.

And the rest is history!

Just 10 years later, Pizza Hut had expanded to 310 restaurants and with an eye on expansion, this number ballooned to over 1000 by 1972. By 1976, Pizza Hut boasted over 2000 stores including 100 international stores in England, Japan and Australia, whose first store appeared in the Sydney suburb of Belfield in 1970.

Pizza Hut International is the biggest pizza chain in the world with over 16,000 restaurants worldwide and a presence in over 130 countries.

Pizza Hut Australia operates 285 restaurants, with a presence in every state and territory in Australia, and employs over 9,000 employees. It recently launched co-brand WingStreet.

Pizza Hut and Wingstreet are owned by parent company Yum! Brands, Inc (Yum) which is a Fortune 500 corporation in the quick service restaurant industry which develops, operates, franchises and licenses a number of brands. Yum has an enterprise value of US$37.1 billion. Revenue of Yum in 2017 was US$5.88 billion, and US$6.4 billion in 2016. Yum operates over 44,000 restaurants across 125 countries and employs over 1.5 million employees worldwide.
