Pizza Hut ranks lowest in casual dining; hourly pay ranges, benefits detailed

Breakroom’s employer-pay profile for Pizza Hut (updated Feb 8, 2026) compiles wage-range data reported by current and former Pizza Hut workers. Pizza Hut ranks last to work for out of casual dining restaurants. Rankings are based on Breakroom Ratings for employers with 30 or more Breakroom Quiz responses, accurate as of February 9, 2026.

The profile lists typical hourly ranges across roles, with multiple reported entries for some positions. Reported ranges include cook $9.00 - 15.50 per hour; shift manager $11.44 - 17.00 per hour; crew member $8.65 - 15.55 per hour; driver $6.45 - 20.17 per hour; general manager $39.5k - 60.0k per year; CSR $8.35 - 17.03 per hour; assistant manager $11.83 - 20.00 per hour; server $5.64 - 19.38 per hour; production worker $7.38 - 15.40 per hour; shift manager $11.25 - 17.85 per hour; dishwasher $9.00 - 15.40 per hour; shift manager $11.29 - 16.78 per hour; manager on duty $18.38 - 25.20 per hour; assistant store manager $11.93 - 19.10 per hour. The profile also reproduces the mixed entry: “Shift manager $11.25-17.85 per hour [...] $7.38-15.40 per hour.” Breakroom offers example phrasing that “cooks roughly $9.00–$15.50/hr; shift managers ~$11.25–$17.85/hr; delivery drivers a wide range.”

Breakroom notes the pay figures are self-reported by workers. Pay data are “Based on data from 282 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between August 2025 and February 2026.” Scheduling data come from “Based on data from 290 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between August 2025 and February 2026.” The site does not provide a geographic breakdown or a count of responses per role, and it does not identify whether reported pay includes tips or other compensation.

Workers quoted in the profile describe mixed daily experience. An employee at Pizza Hut, April 2025 said the best thing was, “The job itself is fun, the repetition of it all helps keep me focused. I also enjoy seeing people compliment our work.” The same employee listed the worst thing as, “Very understaffed on many occasions. I also feel that our upper management do not do enough to relay information to the lower level workers.” Another respondent said the best thing was, “The ability to help correct a problem should the customer not be satisfied.” Their worst thing was, “If you happen to get sick often, they cut the employee's hours. They can be very petty. [...]”

Scheduling practices are a central concern. “Most people find out their schedule less than four weeks ahead of time.” Breakroom’s editorial guidance emphasizes that “We believe your workplace should tell you your schedule at least 4 weeks ahead of time” because “You need to know when you’ll be working so you can plan your life and know how much money you’ll earn.” Breakroom also states, “A good employer shares news with all its workers,” “You should know how your employer is doing - both the good news and the problems,” and “Managers should keep you updated about what’s happening.” On pay the site adds, “You should be paid for all the work you do.” and “A good job pays you for every minute you spend working for your employer.”

The multiple, differing shift manager ranges in the profile illustrate variability in worker reports rather than a single corporate scale; the source does not disambiguate why ranges differ. Reporters seeking clarity should ask Pizza Hut for official pay ranges by role and location, and ask Breakroom for respondent counts by role, geographic breakdowns, and whether reported figures include tips. For workers, the profile highlights where pay and scheduling practices may affect hours, income predictability, and staffing pressure; those dynamics are likely to shape staffing, morale, and turnover at Pizza Hut locations going forward.
