The girl and I got the Family Pack for lunch. Good stuff. I'd post more about what I think about donating to Greensburg, but I already did in the LPGA golfers post:)

We got this email from Pizza Hut marketing in Wichita:

needs a bump around dinner.

This does puzzle me a bit. I've read in two separate newspapers that it is supposed to be 20% of SALES. But this is officially from the franchisers organization, and it says 20% of PROFITS.

It's a good cause either way, but that's a BIG difference in terms of the revenue generated for the cause.

I'll mention that I ended up ordering Pizza Hut for lunch, even though Greensburg won't get any of it. Damn successful charitable marketing techniques.

I got two medium pizzas and 10 wings for 19.99 without a coupon. Very good deal I thought. Giving to a good cause never tasted so good.

or you could just donate the $20 to them

I don't understand why you have to request for the donation to be made. I suppose it's still better than doing nothing.

probably because they want to keep track of the impact it has on their sales.

might be using it as some kind of tax break too.


either way knowing which sales where specifically for donation would be helpful information.

That is very cool of Pizza hut to do that. I obviously can't order up, but that is good of them to do.

Hopefully some other places will follow suit and do something along those lines.

Why would you have to state it? Why not just donate 20% across the board for the day rather than only do it for the customers that request it.

It's ENTIRELY different. If it's 20% of sales it's a charitable act. If it's 20% of profit it's nothing more than a promotion. I'd like to know if anyone finds out about this for sure. Whatever they're doing is nice and all, but if this is a way for them to make 1 dollar off of that disaster, I will never eat their pizza again. It's one of my favorites too.
