Growth strategy for dominos
Origin of Country: U.S.A.
The legacy of Pizza Hut began in 1958, when two college students from Wichita, Kansas, Frank
and Dan Carney, were approached by a family friend with the idea of opening a pizza parlor.
Although the concept was relatively new to many Americans at that time, the brothers quickly
saw the potential of this new enterprise.
Pizza Hut, Inc., a division of Trion Global Restaurants, Inc., has more than 7,200 units in the
U.S. and 3,000 units in more than 86 other countries.
Tricon is the parent company to two other segment leaders, Taco Bell and KFC. When combined
with Pizza Hut, these organizations make up the world's largest restaurant group, with almost
twice as many units as McDonald's.
1996:
Pizza hut comes to India with a dine-in restaurant Bangalore that has special vegetarian pizzas.
In additional to traditional Italian toppings, it incorporates Indian favorites such as Chicken
tikkas, Lamb korma etc. In its list of innovative toppings. Along with pizzas, the menu features
appetizers like garlic bread and soups, fresh salads, oven bakes pastas and choice of ice-cream

Growth strategy for dominos
HUNGRY KYA!
The first thing that comes to your mind after hearing HUNGRY KYA! Is of course dominos.
We are here to brief you about the total existence of dominos in India and it’s consumer.
We will provide you some food for thought as to how dominos managed to become the
“PIZZAS KING” of South Asia.
As we go further you will be surprised to know that today pizzas are just not an alternative
snack dish, but much more on them than we can see.
30 Minutes and Doorbell!
Here’s how an ordered pizza covers the journey from pan to your home Have you ever spared a
thought, while chomping your favorite pizza, how it always got home within 30 minutes of
placing the order on phone? And how time could never beat the friendly delivery boy even by a
minute, crushing your ‘free pizza’ dream? Well, here’s why…. “They do scientific survey of city
traffic to ensure delivery of our pizza within 30 minutes,”
Revealing how they are able to ensure delivery within half an hour?, they prepare master plan to
reach the destination within time. “They send out their senior managers on bikes and check high
traffic hours and calculate the actual time of delivery,” all their employees are duly trained to
deliver pizza safely.
And snags? “Even changes in traffic scenario, like construction of bridges and closing of
passengers are taken into account and the schedule is changed accordingly.” they are able to
deliver pizza within 30 minutes in 99 percent cases, else is give free to the customer. Here’s
another surprise: “A few people know that they do not allow an employee to drive the bike at
the speed of more than 40 km/ph. Their safety is paramount to them,”.
“That is why they call them Safe Delivery Persons (SDP). Informing that they have 3,000 bikes
on the Indian roads for delivering pizza, Slogan before leaving for delivery: ‘You have to drive
safe’. I also find out that soon every bike will have a speed control meter to further check SDP.

Main idea is taking breakfast at McDonalds early in the morning and enjoying your working day
full energetically and freshly.
Price: which is important factor for McDonald, they have competitive prices, mention above
chart.
Also serving cold and hot beverage at affordable price.
Strategy for Dominos pizza in consideration of McDonald
Strategy:
Dominos have rest of there own outlet but not a big one which can more accommodate more
people to serve the breakfast.
Firstly, dominos don’t have their own restaurant, so, first they open the restaurant in their outlets
Dominos can open the new segment like McDonald .Breakfast at McDonalds, using theme of
that and try to pull out the market at dominos
Dominos have plus point like as follows

Quick Breakfast concept.
Having opportunity like they can innovate the product line with minimum price

Growth strategy for dominos
MARKETING STRATEGY
Dominos pizza is premium brand of this product category. it has very well thought marketing
strategy. they have very efficiently tapped the Indian market using the Ps of marketing mix.Their
strategy emphasizes more on informing the people about the dominos 30 minute guarantee, their
help line, their delivery outlet and price- offs or discount coupons during the festive seasons.
Recent addition to this is a joint venture with Petrol pump in New Delhi and at Bandra, Mumbai
wherein your pizza is guaranteed in 6-8 minute of your call and you can very conveniently pick
it on your way home.
As a part of their strategy, they have introduced a birthday package especially for kids wherein
they can celebrate their birthday with their friend and each kid gets a return gift along with the
usual fair.
Also being a customer friendly corporation, dominos believes in sharing its due benefits with the
consumers and looking at the consistent increase in sales it has introduced pizzas starting from
Rs 35.
Its products are priced at the higher end. In addition too dominos pizzas range from Rs 60
onwards in spite of the that fact of India , pizzas are available at local restaurant at a reasonable
price of Rs. 30-40
They believe that their price can be easily justified on grounds of consistent quality and excellent
service they provide. In fact Domino’s imports olive from span, oregano from united states of
America and pepperoni from Italy to maintain that delicious taste of dominos
Hence dominos is confident that their pizzas are so good that consumers do not mind paying a
premium for it
But order to decrease the burden of the premium, dominos regularly has sales promotion offering
price discount schemes etc.
Also, keeping in mind that in India usually the franchisee do not usually maintain the standard of
the parent company consistent, it has not franchised its outlet. Instead it has a master franchise
that owns all the franchise in India Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Domino’s v/s Pizza Hut
Pizza hut is also an internationally know chain of pizza outlet that entered the Indian market
towards the end of the 20th century. Its target audience is basically the youth and the families who
like socializing.
They are initially targeting only the metropolitan cities as they have positioned themselves as an
outlet for rejuvenating lost relationship and socializing as they have an excellence ambience to
boost it.
Thus pizza hut emphasizes more on the ambience, it provides rather than the product it offer.
In comparison dominos just has delivery outlet but does not have an eating outlet, where the
consumers could enjoy themselves. This has provided pizza hut with a competitive edge over
Domino’s
As far as the price is concerned, pizza hut products start at around Rs 160. It is priced much
higher than dominos pizzas but they justify it on the basis of the service and the ambience they
provide their customer at the outlet.
Pizza Hut’s marketing strategy is basically aimed to make the consumer feel very important. It
actually wants the consumer to believe that Pizza Hut is the ultimate outlet for celebrating
anything and everything. It has created an ambience to ensure that customers start finding excuse
to the outlet.
Dominos has a major threat from Pizza Hut in this aspect. With the increasing number of
professionals and increased exposure to western style of eating outdoors frequently, Pizza Hut
may quickly score over Domino’s.
In addition the great interiors, the music and the overall service at the pizza hut outlets create an
atmosphere which tempts you to visit the place again. So dominos have to do something to
overcome this problem

RESEARCH ANALYSIS
The research conducted clearly indicates that Domino’s is the current market leader in India, but
may soon face very tough competition from both McDonald and pizza hut. So to improve their
brand image and consolidate their position in the market, they need to take up some innovative
approach very soon.
