Unlubricated breadstick and butthole activity

Extra storage for pan types they don't use, or old pans they choose not to part with. Here when they downsized to the 11inch they have now they didn't throw out the hundreds of pans or thin trays, they kept them. Same as when the Big New Yorker promotion ended, they didn't get rid of the large pans, they just stored them up in the ceiling until they were needed again. Plenty of Pizza Hut relics up there.

Nothing. It's why the redesigned to eliminate the superfluous space to cut down on real estate and utility costs. Praise Capitalism!

Less to do with size and more to do with being too distinct, easier to resell something more generic

>>17427185
this makes me feel like committing suicide on how uninspiring and boring it looks

protecc and luv

you don't want to know

Agreed but that's absolutely intended.
It's a different feel than it being done on accident.

It's where they used to let the dough rise.

You have to go back.

Are Americans really driven to suicide by how the storefront of a fast food franchise looks like?

A whole trove of military grade spyware to ensure no foreign powers outpizza the hut

>>17427185
The logo still has the hut..

>>17427945
there are phone carrier stores?
like i've got those where I live but they are inside shopping centers, never their own buildings

It's symptomatic of the direction society is headed, so yes, in the same way a cough might cause a terminal cancer patient to consider ending it but not someone with a weekend flu.

>>17427140
Dough gets pounded

damn i really really would

>>17427185
The originals make sense when you've created a restaurant and need to accommodate potentially hundreds of people.
Pizza is no longer a restaurant food, so the stores have changed to match this.
COVID is just the final death of instore eating.

>>17428951
Just move to Disneyland if you want the world to look like a cartoon.

>>17428967
damn

What?
The reason fast food is square buildings now has nothing to do with covid.
firstly, having a commercial building shaped vaguely like a home is subtly damaging to your mental health. when your work looks like home, your home looks like work.
secondly, these wacky building shapes are difficult to sell if the restaurant closes. franchisees will be hesitant to buy in.
thirdly, a rectangular building is just plain cheaper to make, and the rising popularity of external insulation panels makes them modular and simple to renovate.

>>17427153
interesting if true

>>17429035
I didn't say it had anything to do with covid, except that covid is accelerating the reasons behind fast food stores cutting down from large buildings to small takeaway focused buildings.

>>17427565
you're really that broken of a person?

Yes, structuralist corporate architecture sucks. But imagine a Pizza Hut done in rough concrete in a Brutalist style. It would make t he business less appealing.

This. There’s an old Taco Bell from the 70’s/80’s in my town, and after the Taxo Bell closed, they could never get customers to lease it because of the odd shape.
