Domino's sold a 12" Pizza for Rs 265. Indians are value-, not price-sensitive. We need to offer comeback value to Dominos customer. The high price was attributed to the high quality of ingredients used. For instance, Domino's sDominosced its Peperoni and Jalapeno needs from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with competition increasing from Pizza Hut, Domino's introduced price cuts,and discounts to attract the customers. In 1998, Domino's introduced the Pizza Mania scheme where it offered a large pizza for Rs.129/-.

Dominos Pizza was founded in 1960 by a man called Tom Monaghan whose original goal was to open three pizza delivery stores. Thats why there are three dots on Dominos logo. Despite a lot of struggles along the way, hard work and integrity paid off for Tom. His modest plan grew into something far bigger and more successful than he could have ever imagined and, as a result, Dominos Pizza has made success a possibility for thousands of other people too. By franchising Toms pizza delivery model to like-minded entrepreneurs, Dominos Pizza has become the world leader in pizza delivery and one of the most successful franchise businesses in the world. The company is still growing today with more than 8,000 stores in 50+ international markets. As well as instilling a commitment to outstanding product, service, image and safety, Tom also encDominosaged all Dominos Pizza franchisees to foster positive relationships with the communities they serve, delivering local people something more than just great tasting pizza. A promise to uphold this commitment to the community is something that Dominos Pizza actively seeks from franchisees. Every franchisee who strives to follow in Toms footsteps must remember that franchising with Dominos Pizza is not simply an investment of money - its an investment of time, energy and passion too. Dominos Pizza Group (DPG) is whats known as a master franchisee. This means that Dominos Pizza Inc. (the brand owner, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) has granted DPG exclusive rights to own, operate and franchise Dominos Pizza stores in the UK and Ireland. DPG is a Public Limited Company whose stock
is now traded on the London Stock Exchange and is currently within the FTSE 250. Domino's has an impressive track record in the UK and Ireland. Its real success in these markets began in the mid 1990s when the master franchise for the brand was acquired by the Halpern brothers who have enjoyed a long and successful career in franchising. Through the brothers' creation of Milton Keynes based Dominos Pizza Group, and with the backing of a strong and local leadership team, the companys franchisees benefited from hands-on support and a structure that allowed for close management of the brand and the system.
Dominos Pizza is a pizza delivery service. Were not a fast food joint (we deliver good, fresh food fast), were not a takeaway (on average, only 30% of Dominos pizzas are collected) and were not a restaurant (Dominos stores dont have eat-in facilities). Dominos exists to fulfil a basic need for Dominos customers - to provide a high quality, freshly prepared, hot meal delivered on time, every time. And if you consider that each of Dominos pizzas is made to order from fine and fresh ingredients, you can see why they call us the pizza delivery experts. If you find this all a bit daunting, dont worry. Dominos world-class training programmes, coupled with the consistent food quality that comes cDominostesy of Dominos award winning foodservice team, means that franchisees are equipped with the skills and ingredients that they need to become pizza delivery experts in their own right. Dominos is also quick to innovate when it comes to making Dominos customers experience more convenient and enjoyable. We were the first pizza delivery company to offer nationwide online and interactive TV ordering and the first to
use heated delivery bags. We continue to introduce new and exciting technology designed with both customers and profits in mind.
Dominos Brand
To protect the investment of Dominos franchisees and shareholders, and the jobs of Dominos team members, DPG invests a lot of time and money in upholding the positive reputation of Dominos brand. Dominos brand marketing activity is financed through a National Advertising Fund (NAF) which is made up of franchisee contributions. We carefully select targeted marketing campaigns that talk to Dominos core audience of 18-35 year olds in order to secure the best possible return on Dominos franchisees money. We have a lot of fun with Dominos brand marketing. Whether it's Dominos sponsorship of Britain's Got Talent, an innovative new product, new direct mail techniques or the launch of Dominos text ordering service, we find ways to set Dominos Pizza apart from the competition and strengthen Dominos position as the pizza delivery experts.
Supporting Franchisees
Franchisees are both DPGs customers and business partners. It is DPGs job to support franchisees and in-store teams in their efforts to run profitable Dominos Pizza businesses and to ensure that high brand standards are achieved at all stores.

Environmental Impact
Dominos Pizza sells freshly-baked hot food. There is neither a requirement for deep-frying nor for any forms of cooking other than baking in a gas-fired conveyor oven. Therefore, smells and cooking odDominos are more akin to those generated by a small bakery. Dominos stores have a design and specification package that meets all legal requirements for supply and exhaust ventilation. Air extracted from above the ovens is fully filtered and the Dominos standard equipment specification includes a requirement.
areas. In addition, it is unlikely that a customer would eat the product on the street as it is piping hot when served straight from the oven.
A Community Service
Dominos has been actively involved in positive community relations activity for over 40 years and it's a key part of how we do business. Back in the 1960s, Dominos founder insisted that delivering more than just a greattasting pizza was one of the most important ways for Dominos business to be a success. We still believe this today and enc Dominos age all of Dominos franchisees and stores to 'deliver more' than just great tasting pizza through a range of activities, both in and out of the store. Dominos franchisees and team members go to great lengths to foster positive relationships with the local communities and many invite local schools and youth groups to pizza-making workshops, support local charities and sponsor sports teams and local events. If we are planning to open a new store in yDominos area, yDominos local franchisee would be actively encDominosaged by Dominos to undertake a range of local activities to help add real value to yDominos community.

According to independent think tank The Future Foundation, there's still plenty of room for growth in the takeaway/convenience market, with pizza predicted to continue taking the lion's share. Here are some highlights from the Domino's Pizza Convenience Food: 2015 report: The takeaway and convenience food sector is predicted to grow by 70% over the next 10 years. Increased trust in online purchasing, the introduction of new ecommerce platforms, increasing consumer time pressures and the popularity of athome leisure activities are expected to be the key growth drivers for the convenience sector, set to be worth 12.3bn by 2015. The rise of e-commerce in particular will have the largest impact on future sales of collection and home delivered foods as consumers continue to seek solutions for their increasingly busy lifestyles. It is predicted that the internet, interactive TV and text-messaging (SMS) will eventually overtake telephone ordering. The value of the home delivery food market was estimated to have reached 1,474 million in the UK and expects to grow 30% to 1,918 million by 2011.
Dominos innovations
Dominos Pizza is widely recognised as the pioneer of the pizza delivery concept. Over the years, we have invented, or been first to use, most of the equipment and systems now used as standard by Dominos industry. We believe that taking an innovative and enterprising approach to business helps us to strengthen Dominos market leadership. We are always on the look out for innovations that improve Dominos product and service and make Dominos customers lives easier.
Equipment
Fresh a priority at Domino's Pizza. Domino's was the first to use a fibreglass tray for dough, which simplified dough handling and ensured better preservation. Domino's was the innovator behind the sturdy, corrugated pizza box, which prevents moisture from making the box soggy and stops the cheese sticking to the top during delivery. A delicious, crisp crust is one of the most important parts of the pizza. In search of the perfect crust, Domino's developed the pizza screen, a mesh tray that helps cook the pizza base more evenly than a tray made of wood or stainless steel. Today it's hard to miss pizza delivery cars thanks to Domino's Pizza. Domino's invented the 3-D cartop sign, which is currently used by a variety of industries including taxis and driving schools.
E-commerce
In 1999, Dominos Pizza became the first pizza delivery company in the world to offer nationwide internet and interactive television ordering. Delivered pizza can be ordered via Dominos website (www.dominos.co.uk) or via text (register online at: www.dominos.co.uk). In 2007 online ordering launched in the Republic of Ireland at www.dominos.ie. Over one fifth of Dominos delivered pizzas are now ordered online and, during November 2007, Dominos hit the milestone of 1m online sales in just one week in the UK. Also during 2007, Dominos Pizza launched the UKs first SMS ordering service meeting consumer demand for a wide range of channels to order their pizza.
Hotter delivery
Dominos HeatWave delivery bags were introduced to the UK in October 2000. Each heated hot bag contains a patented disc that is warmed by electricity. Once inserted into a special bag, this technology creates a portable oven that minimizes heat loss during delivery. The outer material of the bag is made with waterrepellent nylon and inside the bag is 3M Thinsulate material, which eliminates unwanted moisture, keeping pizzas both hot and fresh. Additionally, in April 2008, Dominos launched an innovative new Real Time monitoring system to measure service performance in order to get pizza out-thedoor in the minimum amount of time. This industry leading initiative helps boost customer service levels at Dominos nationwide.
Dominos food
We believe that it is important to give Dominos customers the information and options they need to make meal choices that suit their lifestyles and dietary requirements. Dominos Food Promise says that we will: Provide and promote food choice through meaningful new product development Provide customers with clear and accurate information about the food we sell so that they can make informed decisions, through the provision of a Food Guide in all stores and online at www.dominos.co.uk Ensure the provision of high quality food. There are 88 million different pizza options on a typical Dominos Pizza menu and we continually research ways to improve the range of choice we offer. You can choose from: Hallmark Fresh Dough Base, Dominos Chicago Thin Crust or the double layer Double Decadence Dominos vine-ripened tomato sauce, barbecue sauce or sun-dried tomato and herb sauce 20 toppings made with prime cuts of meat and fresh vegetables and ranging from the traditional, like pepperoni, to the more adventurous like jalapeno peppers Regular mozzarella or Dominos pioneering reduced fat mozzarella, called Delight A tasty range of side items like garlic pizza bread, chicken, potato wedges, ice cream and more Since July 2007 Dominos menu has been totally hydrogenated fat free. Dominos experts follow the seasons around the world to ensure that Dominos ingredients are the finest and freshest we can get on hands on. Sometimes, the pizza that arrives at yDominos doorstep can include exotic ingredients from all seven continents like jalapenos from Peru or pineapple from Thailand.

Not every company that decides to enter India is successful. Foreign companies can often pay a heavy price if they dont get their tactics right especially in the beginning. The margin of error is even lesser in the case of a fast food company. A multi ethnic country like India which is a melting pot of different religions and cultures invariably leading to different tastes and food taboos proves a challenge to every company that wants to sell fast food here. However, one company that has got its tactics right in this very competitive sector is the American pizza giant Dominos. The challenge for Dominos when it entered India was to establish itself along with its traditional rival Pizza Hut. Since they began both have done well but Dominos has done just a little bit better. In the coming years as things stand Dominos looks in great shape to become the number one player in Indias fast growing pizza industry. Already having set up more than two hundred stores in every major metro in the country Dominos is on the right track towards making India one of its prime revenue destinations. When entering the country Dominos faced the same challenges as mentioned earlier.It wasnt the brand name alone that it could count on towards becoming a prime player. A lot of effort has gone into Dominos marketing. Its ad campaigns have constantly evolved from establishing its name to emphasizing the taste of its products. Many have been aimed at publicizing newer products. The one theme however that has stood out with Dominos Indian story has been the critical pricing model it has followed. Dominos has relied heavily on its 3 tier menu with pizzas available for every class of the Indian society. Consequently there are ultra low cost pizzas, medium prized pizzas and relatively higher prized ones. Like its rival Pizza Hut, Dominos has also devoted a significant part of its time in developing a pan-Indian menu.Its also concentrated its efforts on
building a vegetarian menu which it treats with the same intensity as the non vegetarian menu. locations, simple operating model, widely-recognized brand and efficient supply chain system are competitive advantages that position to capitalize on future growth. Leverage strong brand awareness. Believe that the strength of Dominos Pizza brand makes one of the first choices of consumers seeking a convenient, quality and affordable meal. They intend to continue to promote brand name and enhance reputation as the leader in pizza delivery.
Where it however scores over its rival is in the pricing aspect and its an important feature which will hold Dominos in good stead over a long period of time.Pizza Hut has been extremely reluctant to reduce the prices of its products. The future will see both giants battling it out by catering to the Indian taste. More pan Indian menus are expected to be released. On the marketing front, the clear leader happens to be Dominos which has formed exclusive partnerships to set up its stores in upcoming malls and industrial campuses. Its ads are repeated more times as compared to Pizza Hut which uses its own campaigns only to draw attention to newer products. The future holds great promise for Dominos but it mustnt forget the presence of other chains. Apart from its premier rival Pizza Hut, the old warhorse Pizza Corner and a new challenger Smoking Joe's have been making steady headways into the Indian market

Domino's Style
When Domino's Pizza Aintree recruited the services of Ph. Creative to design their first ever website, the team at Ph weren't quite expecting to spend an afternoon working at the branch. But what better way to understand the brand than to kit them out in the black and blue uniform and set them to work making pizzas.
The Ph. team were given a brief induction before setting about the task of making pizza, Dominos style, from scratch. Three members of Ph. even set about a different kind of marketing than theyre used to, by standing on the corner of Molyneux Road, Aintree, wearing a life-sized pizza box and holding Dominos wobble boards. Bryan Adams, MD of Ph. Creative says: Ive seen how passionate Dominos are about their brand and now weve experienced the Dominos process, Ph. Creative are just as passionate about is as well.
System
It was a dark and stormy night. And being hungry, always wanting to use that opening line, and have an open internet connection had me wanting some Domino's Pizza. But...what to do? Driving to the estaurant means burning gas, waiting, waiting some more, and having to come home realizing that I forgot the napkins again.
Even a simple phone call to my local Domino's Pizza location meant a usage of cell phone minutes. Cue the dramatic background music. The Domino's Pizza I'm ordering online from today is at 220 Willow Street, in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Their telephone number is 814-333-4300. But folks this online ordering is so much easier. There aint many a problem that me and the Google Boys can't fix. A Domino's manager once told me that they had an online ordering system that was fun to use. So I told myself: "Self...try that online pizza ordering fiddle-de-dangery." Self and I have been buds for a while. We can push each other around like that. As I'm tabbing around their site, I'm studying how the site's laid out. I can clearly see where to find coupons on the Domino's pizza website. I'm just a tad unclear how to implement the coupons on my food order. Domino's...when those marketing gurus recommend you make the site user-friendly they mean yDominos online pizza ordering system needs to even be user-friendly for folks like me. I don't really like that I somehow blew it using coupons but it's true. I am a man. Other than that it's not so bad. Domino's system is letting me specify how heavy or light I want each topping, and within minutes, my custom-built pizza is on it's way...so they say on the pizza tracker. (Yes! Domino's Pizza offers a pizza tracker! Neat huh?) As yDominos food order goes through each phaze of production a different tab lights up. Domino's Pizza seemed to have some talented website designers not only provide great visuals, fast loading pages, and even a field for special instructions. And therein went my request for napkins and paper plates. I'm a bachelor. So what? The price of just under $25 total comes up. I confirm my order, and my information, since this is my first time, and that's when the Domino's Pizza tracker comes up. Now I've no doubt that when the tab lights up that says Paul is preparing my order that it's true. And when the tab lit up saying my order was baking I'm sure it was. And even when the little red Domino's Pizza light turned red as it was telling me my food was in a heat wave bag...I believed it. But the light lit up all the way across. It signaled that I got my meal and they were hoping I was enjoying it's yummy deliciousness. That little red Domino's Pizza light was wrong. A quick call to the Domino's Pizza location here in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and I learn just as I suspected. The driver was all by themselves and
there was an order in front of mine. There's always an order in front of mine at a Domino's Pizza. That's just as well. I'd be a little more nervous buying from a Domino's Pizza that never had an order before mine. And since I've met the management here, and their walk-in floors are cleaner than some places tabletops, I knew it to be worth waiting for my grub from this particular Domino's Pizza location. Having been in delivery myself (spiffy uniform and all) I can certainly empathize with this Domino's Pizza delivery driver. While I'm waiting I read from Domino's Pizza that yearly, their drivers collectively drive the distance of nine round trips to the moon and back. While mulling on the thought a friendly knock finds my door. Pizza Guy! Foreswearing giving him a welcoming embrace like the long lost friend that he is, I merely double check the paper plates and napkins, check. Always tip yDominos driver who remembers everything. So we're clear: because that driver skipped not a single beat, this Domino's Pizza location gets a 4 out of 5 possible stars. Now let me warn you in advance. If you're ordering one of those new bread bowl pasta dishes Domino's offers on the side of a pizza...be hungry. They're bigger than they first look. Good thing I had my domino's Pizza delivery driver bring napkins. After the bread bowl pasta is done (chicken Alfredo by the way. Yum!) The rest of my Domino's Pizza is going for breakfast.

SEGMENT OVERVIEW
Dominos is developing a systematic approach for the measurement of its carbon footprint in Australia. With the impending carbon constrained economy, such an approach is crucial in order to meet the challenges that lay ahead for every Australian company. Dominos is nonetheless determined to meet those challenges because as a responsible corporate citizen it is the right thing to reduce its impact on the environment. Dominos realized that to develop a variable approach for the measurement of its carbon footprint it would need expert assistance. Following a review process, Dominos selected Carbon Systems Australia to be its sustainability partner to advise and assist Dominos generally with sustainability matters. Once its carbon footprint is established then Dominos will have a vary able baseline against which to manage its carbon emissions and monitor the
reduction of those emissions. It is no easy task to assess the carbon footprint of many stores across Australia. Dominos will be implementing Carbon Systems Energy and Carbon Intelligence System (ECIS) which will support us in three critical areas: data collection and management - both the retrieval and collation of historical data to establish baseline reporting, and the implementation of an automated system to ensure that ongoing data collection is timely, complete and accurate; the establishment of a performance management framework to track energy and carbon reduction initiatives; and the ability to disseminate information to Dominos stakeholders in a quick,automated manner. The ECIS will initially cover corporate stores but Dominos will be working with its franchisees to introduce their stores into the ECIS as well.
