Cicis Pizza

In a new interview with PMQ Pizza, Cicis President Jeff Hetsel, CFE shares how the brand reduced average food costs from 32% to 27.5% without cutting labor, instead focusing on operational efficiencies, supply chain improvements, and investments in restaurant technology that support both franchisees and team members. The conversation highlights how Cicis continues evolving while staying committed to quality, value, and guest experience.
