What we do

The voice of Pizza Hut franchisees

Members work side by side with each other and with Pizza Hut on the issues that shape every restaurant: costs, marketing, technology, people and policy.

A Seat at the Table

Franchisee-led committees and advisory councils work directly with Pizza Hut on marketing, operations, technology and more.

Advocacy

We speak for franchise owners on legislation and policy, and make it easy for members to contact their elected officials.

Insurance

Group health insurance, risk management and member programs such as delivery-driver reimbursement rates.

Communication

The Spring Business Conference, town halls, and Committee updates keep franchisees connected.

Our story

Rooted in Wichita, like Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut opened its first restaurant in Wichita in 1958. Ten years later, the people who owned and ran its franchised restaurants formed IPHFHA so they could speak with one voice.

More than five decades on, the association still represents the independent owners behind thousands of Pizza Hut restaurants, with its office a few miles from where it all began.
