Successive governments have waged war on disposable income, seeing it as nothing more than a pot of money to fuel necessities, bills and tax increases. Conveniently forgetting that a huge chunk of the economy is reliant on disposable income
The same thing that’s happening to pubs and restaurants all over the country.
Rising business costs mean prices go up, quality goes down, at the same time as the customer base having gradually less and less disposable income.
High prices, low quality and ignoring consumer desires.
More competition, far more pizza chains around than there used to be. Overpriced for what it is. Pizza is not an expensive dish to make
Got so expensive to the point I feel super uncomfortable going there
Pizza hut, in-restaurant, imo is delicious. When it’s served in the pan still and it stays crispy and fresh it is one of my favorite pizza places. But it is pretty pricey so i call it a rare treat.
The takeout on the other hand is absolutely abysmal. For real some of the worst pizzas I’ve had have been pizza hut deliveries. The difference between the restaurant and the takeout is shocking.
It still costs 3 times as much as my local kebab/burger/pizza place, but is a really awful product. Usually a bland soggy mess.
They got rid of the all you could eat buffet. Never went back after that. I hear the pizza also got worse.
Eating and shopping out are in a death spiral.
Country needs to get control of energy and water to keep utilities low.
Councils need to be taking ownership of commercial properties so they can keep rents low so that the space can be occupied.
Taxes on online shopping and delivery need to be raised to support brick and mortar businesses.
Public transport needs to be improved to make casual travel easier and more convenient.
Operational hours and Sunday’s need to be dumped. Businesses should be opened 11-8 Monday-Friday.
On top of this people need to learn to be more considerate in public. Quieter, more mindful of their personal space and the rubbish they make.
Essentially not a single thing that encourages physical stores or high streets to flourish has been done.
My cities Pizza Hut is closing, it’s on a retail park plonked in the middle of an ugly car park not in the city centre with no direct bus route for 80% of the city.
Brands get lazy. They establish themselves as a household name in a particular niche – Pizza Hut for being family friendly pricing for takeaway and sit in pizza.
They get greedy. They make products worse, more expensive and hope that consumers will continue to trade off of brand loyalty and recognition. This is a short term strategy. Follow this with gradual decline then sell off assets such as buildings and land for maximum profit before the business dies.
This is late stage capitalism. People aren’t interested in running a business – they want to speed run making money.
