Pizza Hut yesterday announced a 20 percent discount on its six 'king-size' meals, an exclusive menu for Visa card holders.

“As a global initiative of Pizza Hut, any customer paying by Visa debit or credit card will avail themselves of the discounts up to 20 percent,” said Akku Chowdhury, executive director of Transcom Foods Ltd. The offer will remain valid until June 11,2011.

The offer is a joint initiative of Visa and Pizza Hut to encourage consumers to use the Visa cards and enjoy the benefits of electronic payments for convenience, security and reliability, said Uttam Nayak, group country manager for Visa (India and

South Asia).

“We are confident that the promotion will be a huge success amongst the Visa cards users in Bangladesh,” he added.

Besides pizzas, the restaurant chain specialises in a range of appetizers, pastas and desserts.

Pizza Hut, the first international restaurant chain in the country, started business here by opening its flagship restaurant in 2003 in Gulshan. Now, the restaurant has three outlets in Dhaka and one in Chittagong.

Transcom Foods, a subsidiary of Transcom Group, operates the Pizza Hut joints in Bangladesh. The group is also the franchisee of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
