BIG YES BOMB!!!!!

This is why you are better off letting cooks make what they want end of the night.

Managers that I've seen come in and try to crack down on employees eating the food always has backfired.

Long term employees end up hating the food pretty quick anyway.

TheToxicBreezeYF · 2025-01-28T04:30:41+00:00

yes. Anytime a pizza was messed up, it was up for grabs for anyone. The new Franchise did not let us make Group Pies anymore like the Old Franchise so we started seeing an "increase" in mess ups. Also anytime an order was canceled, we were allowed to have it.

At my pizza store nobody pays for anything, either the boss man pays us more money or we eat up the difference.

I specifically wait for the days he's not there so I can make a bunch of things I want which is pretty slim Pickens on choice but oh well.

Phatpandaz1880 · 2025-01-28T04:28:24+00:00

Yup I'm in gothenburg and it's true just not that much yk

Pls-Dont-Ban-Me-Bro · 2025-01-28T06:22:46+00:00

They say they don’t allow it where I’m at but they also refuse raises and never come around so I say fuck em. Gotta keep people happy somehow so turnover’s low. If I need to explain it to our DM I will but they’re not here putting in the work so I don’t really care what the higher ups have to say about it. Our food waste is easily within reason and our store is the most profitable in the area apparently, so they have no reason to be upset.

Ok_Argument_2546 · 2025-01-28T06:30:55+00:00

Yes

That being said I literally lost 70lbs+ working at Pizza Hut, even with all the free food 🫡

Ganjalicious420 · 2025-01-28T07:18:39+00:00

We had a bigger order once and it was supposed to be for the next day but they didn't place it as a timed order, so we took it to the police station. I mean as far as mess ups and cancellations what else would you do with it? Throw away perfectly good food? Most times if we mess something up we offer the mess up to the customer along with the correction as a make well.

fluffy100 · 2025-01-28T14:42:30+00:00

yup sometimes my boss used to to trade with the local taco stands. give them pizzas for orders of tacos. we did this A LOT. so tacos and pizza 5 days a week was not good for me💀

Listennnn, as a GM from my point of view - there are battles you can fight and you will lose. You can pick your battles, and pick them wisely. My crew having food is not a battle I wish to partake in because at the end of the day, they’re going to take food. I allow my team to take home food - within reason. My inventory is good every week, never too short on stuff, and if we are, I make everyone aware of what we are alarmingly short on, and we cut back on that stuff to get shit back on track. People are going to take food regardless of if I say it’s okay or not. Why would I want my team sneaking around behind my back when I can just make sure my people are fed and have food when they go home? I don’t inform new hires of this, usually they have to stick around for at least 6-8 months for me to be okay with them having stuff to take home but, all of my team respects me and they don’t over-do shit and make us short short on stuff because I am nice enough to allow them to have a pizza or some wings to bring home. I don’t know anyone’s home situation- for all I know, one of my employees could be broke, depending on a personal pan meal to keep them from being hungry. That doesn’t sit right with me. They want a large pepperoni pizza at the end of a shit on a Wednesday night? Take it. An 8 piece wing? Take it. They always ask me and they always let me know what they’re taking so if we are short on inventory, I know where and I know exactly what we need to cut back on for the following weeks. It’s really the least I can do for any of my team considering how hard they all work for me and to keep my store running and in good condition.

GlitteringExplorer90 · 2025-01-28T09:16:16+00:00

Yes! The Pizza Hut I used to work at did this. Our crew never messed up orders on purpose to eat. If we wanted something we would just make it. On a busy night there would be easily 10 pizzas and boxes of wings.

No_Ostrich9645 · 2025-01-28T18:55:52+00:00

Off topic but now many notifications do you have on top of your phone. That would annoy the hell out of me

ShirePipeWeed · 2025-01-29T02:23:09+00:00

where i worked if there was ever a mistake they would offer up to whoever wanted any, after about a year most of the screwups went to the trash immediately. you get tired of the same pre packaged bull shit.

anxiousman66 · 2025-01-29T20:30:58+00:00

Canceled orders is always free food stuff if they want it. But our staff is allowed free food and drink anyways so they don’t often take it. We have a high volume of homeless in the area and they get it if they stop when we have canceled food.

Dangerous-Name-220 · 2025-01-28T12:57:01+00:00

I take care of the chicken and when all done, there be tiny bit of chicken leftover and I put them in the fryer to eat for take home after work is over.

bwuebewiess · 2025-01-28T16:40:52+00:00

if it’s a common pizza, like a pepperoni hand tossed then we’ll hold it in our warmer for about 40 minutes to see if we can sell it but after that it’s up for grabs for employees. most of my crew is fine with their $1 personal pans lol

joecee97 · 2025-01-28T17:15:09+00:00

Yes, although we generally try to avoid it because often we’ll only end up eating a slice or 2 unless it’s a really good pizza and then the rest goes to waste whereas otherwise it would be put into the freezer and picked up on Sunday to be taken to a local church and served there to people in more need of food.

FlowerLucky7518 · 2025-01-28T18:06:16+00:00

Not a busy store but yeah staff eats any mess ups. But there's probably an average of only one a night. If it's a big order we take it to fire/police.

carpetbowl · 2025-01-28T19:59:44+00:00

Mistakes happen, but when one cook "accidentally" makes an extra large pan meat lovers every night, you start to wonder

ilovepiemore1 · 2025-01-29T00:17:04+00:00

worked at dominos and pizza hut, and both did this, and often there would be pizzas made specifically for us

Worried-Mix-9350 · 2025-01-29T00:21:24+00:00

Most of the time we’ll give the extra to the customer if they want it if it was just made with the wrong/missing topping(s) and there’s nothing actually wrong with the pizza. If it’s half burnt but half is still good or the customer doesn’t want it it goes to the staff. My store is very strict about not giving out anything for free and remakes will get the cooks in trouble if it happens too often

Critical_Ad5866 · 2025-01-29T04:38:34+00:00

I’ve lost weight since I started at Pizza Hut and I also can’t stand the food anymore it’s absolutely disgusting to me once I leave this place safe to say I won’t ever eat the food anymore lol.

ezrapoundcakes · 2025-01-29T15:34:29+00:00

We didn't necessarily have a "mistakes" table, but the manager didn't really mind when me and my friend "accidentally" cooked two xl boxes full of wings minutes before close.

Dependent-Plane5522 · 2025-01-29T18:02:12+00:00

I watched a 16 year old girl get hired, and within 6 months she had gained about 30-50 pounds. She got pregnant at about 18 and never lost the weight. This was at Pizza Hut.

puhjalla · 2025-01-29T18:52:56+00:00

Yeah, almost every location and GM I worked with over 5 years we almost always put the food in back for employees. We'd talk to people if it became an issue of a distraction and could easily tell if it was intentional or not.

Otherwise it'd end up in the trash, why waste perfectly fine food when we could feed employees for free?

NoParsley8061 · 2025-01-31T07:39:45+00:00

we do this. and also my store lets us basically cook whatever we want for ourselves without paying (instead of the free personal pizza) which is great for me bc i don’t even like pizza. same with drinks as long as we’re not having like multiple meals and drinks, they don’t care. at least my store manager doesn’t care, im sure the general manager would if she knew.

IOughtaWriteABook · 2025-02-01T21:03:26+00:00

The technical term for this is “crew pie” but I haven’t worked at PH since 2000. Had the same at PJs for a few years after.
We also orchestrated trades with other restaurants. The trick was to avoid high cost items, ie chicken wings, but the menus were a lot simpler then.
I didn’t gain weight working there because it was such a physically demanding job but pizza was 90% of my diet as a poor kid working through high school and college.

SafetyFirstChildren · 2025-01-28T23:39:41+00:00

It was up for grabs unless I shit started getting sus. Multiple times here mistakes were too frequent and cooks were too quick to ask for it. I would start throwing them away immediately right in front of them.

SnooCrickets9000 · 2025-01-30T02:21:29+00:00

🤣🤣 All these comments from peeps who are not responsible for food cost %

BigDickConfidence69 · 2025-01-31T10:50:53+00:00

Dominos they let us at my store. One of the few job benefits is free food.

bloodslushi3 · 2025-02-03T16:08:04+00:00

i lost weight working there 💀 i’ve never gotten sick of something so fast

pandakat902 · 2025-01-28T09:29:56+00:00

our extra food from mistakes, canceled order, we save it and it gets picked up by a local food pantry. sometimes yes i let employees take something but not too much stuff because i want there to be plenty donations. but i let my employees make something when they’re hungry and don’t ring it up so it’s free. the food pantry workers come once a week

BIG YES BOMB!!!!!

Does your Pizza Hut allow this as well? That is, having mistakes on the make line and canceled orders become free food for the staff?
