Your worry meter should register the minute you spot waffle terminology such as 'will provide a positive way forward........'.

MY spies tell me the new 4 square pizza is going great guns and has put more customers back into the Kapiti Road shop , Paraparaumu been one off the worst but now back to LIFE..
Well, it happens tomorrow ... pastahut.
Will be a real winner in times like now - variety, tasty and above all, filling.
Bring it on!
if New Lynn KFC is any guide,they are creaming it...cars backed up thru the drive in every evening!
Sadly, it is the staple food of the lower socio-economic groups and KFC is not exactly healthy. High fat content however means it's very filling and very tasty.
Was told by an airport staff that the latest export from NZ to the Islands is KFC - frozen in polythene boxes to be warmed up on the other side. $250 per pack and they cannot get enough of it over there ... now why didn't I think of that as a business idea!
Pasta to the Islands next?
I don't think it's all that new. I used to work in Otahuhu until a couple of years ago and boxes were flying (excuse the pun) out the door to the Islands from the KFC there. And when lining up to check in at the airport half the luggage on the plane to Rarotonga is KFC. And why not? A nice piece of KFC is great.
Sounds like the trend has accelerated as I am told it's unbelievable the quantity being 'exported'. That Ted Van Arkle is a good operator and know how to maximise an opportunity. He made a huge success of Foodtown/Countdown and looks like he is going to do the same with RBD. Amazing what a difference good management can do. Lucky it wasn't sold to private equity a couple of years ago.
Here's to having pasta this week!
Looks like Hell is going to get back to being proper competition for Pizza Hutt.....
Warren Powell, Callum Davies and Stu McMullin, who first opened Hell Pizza in 2003, have bought the New Zealand franchise back from the local owners of Burger King.
Hell Pizza operates in a different market segment from PH.
Watch PH take back market share when the stores are franchised out.
Just tried one of the pasta dishes. Only two available at the moment. Chicken and mushroom or meatballs and cheese and only in the $17.99, serves four, size.
VERY nice! Prefer it to pizza. Should be a goer I'd say, and my local store said last night there seemed to be a bit of 'pasta for the ladies and pizza for the blokes' going on. Hopefully the result will be increased sales all round.
Nice one Mr Diab. I Hope the shares he continues to buy look cheap from further down the road.
