Updates
We’ve got one shot – and the time to take that shot is NOW!
That’s the message I’ve been sending to every franchisee and store general manager I can. Never before have we seen so many consumers so open to trying our product – especially since we’ve been so open, honest and transparent in our advertising.
While we are not saying these exact words, we’re telling consumers everywhere that at Domino’s Pizza, we’re for real.
Franchisees across the country are telling us that they’ve never seen their stores so consistently busy day after day after day. For many of you, you’re experiencing perhaps the biggest sales increases you’ve ever seen. For some of you who have been around a long time, you can attest that the sales boost we’re seeing has been a long time in coming.
Consumers by the thousands (even hundreds of thousands!) are giving us a try – and we can’t disappoint them. I know you’re doing everything you can to get your stores staffed, make sure you’re making pizzas the best that you can and that your service times don’t suffer in the process. Even in these un-precedented times, we’re seeing stores scoring 5 Star ratings on their OER audits…so we know it can be done! I’ve got tremen-dous confidence in you and your teams. Domino’s stores were designed to be busy – and they are busy! This is what we’ve
always wanted and I know we can continue this momentum!
Taking advantage of this momentum and continuing to drive sales is the absolute BEST driver of store level profit, which continues to be a priority for me and the entire team at Dominos. You recently received a letter from the Franchise team at Domino’s USA, outlining in detail how we did at our 2009 company objective of identifying $15,000 in additional profit opportunities. If you have any questions, please contact your area leader.
In 2010, your store-level profitability will continue to be a focus and a priority for us. Our 2010 objective is to see that the average franchise store in the system earns $70,000 in EBITDA.
But you don’t have to wait for a letter to start making it happen now. Top line sales are THE place to start in driving bottom line profit. If we can keep the momentum going in our stores, the average store could see an additional $15,000 - $35,000 on its bottom line due to the sales increases alone by the end of the year.
Stephen Colbert named us his “Alpha Dogs of the Week” because of our pizza reinvention and our bold marketing. We’re generating more “buzz” than I’ve ever seen – this is our chance to convert all of these new customers into repeat customers. This is our shot – let’s take it. Now!

Brian interviews each customer to find out their likes and dislikes of just not Domino’s but any pizza they have ever eaten. He then works with them to design their Domino’s Dream Pizza. All the testing is no charge to the customer and until they have tried at least ten different combinations, he doesn’t give up. Once the Dream Pizza is discovered it gets noted in Pulse and that becomes the customer’s standard order. That customer is now a customer for life.
There appears to be no doubt that New and Improved has had a tremendous sales effect in the short term with its long term success to be determined in the months and years ahead. I’m
not sure I know of anyone who would prefer to role things back to last summer. Having said that, we have undoubtedly left both a literal and figurative bad taste in the mouths of a handful of our long-time customers. Using both the power of the MVP Utility and Brian Edler’s Domino’s Dream Pizza concept, you are able to easily identify and save those customers.There are many more details and concepts that could not make it into this article.
