The system is comprised of a computer screen that shows a selection of typical pizza topping ingredients such as chicken, mushrooms, anchovies and peppers. Rather than physically selecting something from the options however the customer simply has to look at the screen for a few seconds and the computer will pick out their preferred pizza based on which of the ingredients they spent the most amount of time looking at.

"We wanted to try a few ideas on the traditional menu format and we're delighted to have developed the world's first Subconscious Menu, a unique way to reinvent the dining experience," said Kathryn Austin, Pizza Hut's head of marketing.
