Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,寻找一个具体的、可识别的产品/服务/计划,其中管理层明确表示:1)客户反应超出公司准备;2)公司正在通过增加资源/产能/投资等来扩大对该产品的投入。该产品目前仍占公司整体业务的小部分。 扫描记录:提到KFC的Crispy Colonel Sandwich、Pickle Chicken、Taco Bell的Nacho Fries、Pizza Hut的Double Cheesy Crust等。但需要找到明确说“需求超出预期”和“正在扩大”的。 在Taco Bell部分,提到“Nacho Fries are back for a sequel”和“record breaking launch in the first quarter had customers asking for more and we're happy to bring them back.” 这暗示需求强劲,但这是回归,不是新推出。而且没有明确说公司正在增加产能或投资。 在KFC部分,提到“Crispy Colonel Sandwich”和“Pickle Chicken”是限时供应,但未说需求超出准备。 在Pizza Hut部分,提到“Double Cheesy Crust Pan Pizza”但未说超出预期。 在交付方面,提到与Grubhub合作,但说“very early days”和“we're pleased with initial results”,没有说需求超出准备,也没有说正在扩大投入。 在Telepizza联盟部分,是未来计划,不是当前。 在非洲扩张部分,是增长计划,但未说需求超出。 唯一可能的是Taco Bell的Nacho Fries,但那是回归,且未明确说公司正在扩大投入。 因此,没有找到明确符合两个条件的例子。所以答案应为NO。
