Tim Taft, appointed as Pizza Inn's President and CEO in April of this year, commented on the performance and direction of the company: "Our short and long-term objectives are clear — we must reenergize the brand by focusing on the fundamentals of customer satisfaction, growth and unit-level profitability. To achieve these objectives we are currently working on a number of fronts. First, we conducted consumer research, providing the company with an informed direction and competitive position based on the needs and wants of our customers and potential customers. Second, the company will soon put this new approach of focusing on customer satisfaction to the test when it opens its new buffet concept in Dallas and Houston, Texas this fall while existing franchisees are signing up to do the same. Third, Pizza Inn is working with its franchisees daily to build an economic model that delivers product consistency and quality while improving overall profitability. Fourth, our new franchisee recruitment model — dedicated to signing qualified multi-unit operators — will be implemented before the end of the year. Due to these efforts and other initiatives, we are optimistic that we will begin to improve operating results by fiscal year end."
