The company is looking for pizza makers, delivery drivers, managers and servers, among other jobs. The positions are permanent, said Doug Terfehr, a spokesman for Yum! Brands, the parent company of Pizza Hut.

“The need begins to mount as we head into our busiest day of the year, but it’s still there following Feb. 5,” he said.
