Pizza Hut Japan now run by cats – called Pizza Cats!

Pizza Hut Japan has opened a new shop. They’ve done the grand opening of Pizza Cats!, which is essentially cats handling your pizzas at Pizza Hut.

Of course, the YouTube channel tells (in Japanese) that the store is fake, luckily. It doesn’t seem that the cats are very good at handling pizza.

I knew the Japanese loved their cats, but didn’t know that brands like Pizza Hut in this case went as far as putting them on the crew list and creating dedicated websites for them. I wonder how much of a hit (or a flop) this is in Japan itself.

In any case, they really like to do things differently in Japan: this theme website and accompanying videos show that again.
