You should always assume that these were planned business decisions made long before any wage increases were certain.

Does Pizza Hut even have their own equivalent of the Dominos Pizza App Experience bullshit? I assume they deliver mostly through Doordash, the ascendant monopoly of prepared food delivery.

corporate response is "akchually those are franchises making their own decisions so this obviously coordinated layoff is just the result of many individual franchise owners coincidentally making the exact same decision"

so yeah

Hey this sounds eerily familiar to when all of the candidates in the 2020 dem primaries dropped out to endorse Biden! Love when they play the hits but this time with people’s livelihoods, great stuff by the bourgeois 👍
