Pizza Hut

Manthan recently rolled out its analytics solution in 400 plus Pizza Hut outlets around the UK.

Replacing an existing business insights offering, this has been deployed across such functions as sales, marketing, operations, guest experience, HR and planning.

"We have significantly reduced time spent on analysing and driving insights around operational bottlenecks, sales challenges, promotional performance, store benchmarking and delays in reporting. With a 360-degree view of the customer, sales and operations, we are now poised to run a more efficient ship," said Kate Vacovec, Head of Commercial Planning, Pizza Hut UK & Europe.

"As a strategic technology partner, Manthan strengthens our ability to bring scalability, speed and disruptive innovation as Pizza Hut continues to elevate the customer experience through greater convenience and personalisation. Their technology is a complete game changer for us, and I suspect it will be for the entire hospitality industry."
