Yes, that would make sense as (it seems) most systems search by default
on last name.

Hi,
It also works well to put the company name all under first name. I
usually do that and have had no problems.
Take care,
Lois

Did you enter “Pizza Hut” under last name or under company name in
your contacts? If you put it in Company Name SIRI won’t find it, I
know, it is unbelievably stupid that SIRI won’t search the company
field, but that is the way it is.
Try putting “Pizza Hut” in the last name field as fwelland all
should be as you expect.
I run into a situation often where I ask, for example, “Call BC
Liquor Store” or “Call Sears”. These are just examples of businesses
which exist in many towns/cities. I live in a small town in northern
British Columbia and the next towns are about an hour away and the
next larger cities are 2 and 4 hours away, respectively. So, I ask
to call the business name and SIRI tells me it, for example, found
“BC Liquor Store” in Houston, Terrace, Prince Rupert etc. all of
these are from 40 to 250 miles away and it will finally come to the
liquor store that is half a mile from my house after listing 6 or 8
others first which are all over the place. If the store is only in
my town it has no problems finding it and it’s yet another example
of how poorly SIRI performs in certain situations where it should
work flawlessly.
One thing I just discovered and this must be new (I am running iOS
10 Beta) is that I can finally ask “What is the battery level” and
SIRI will actually answer and give me the battery percentage. Maybe
some who use iOS 9 can try this and see if it is simply a SIRI
upgrade that works in all iOS versions or if it is new in iOS 10.

I have Pizza Hutt in my contacts. However, when I tell Siri to call
Pizza Hutt, she appears to look for Pizza Hutts on the web. I say
this because instead of just calling the Pizza Hutt that is in my
contacts, she gives me suggestions of places near by. Is there any
way I can fix this?
