n early 2000, Pawan Bhatia (Bhatia), the CEO of Domino’s Pizza India (Domino’s) was a man in a hurry. Ever since Bhatia took over as the CEO of Domino’s in November 1999, he had been frantically reworking the pizza chain’s India strategy. Bhatia was planning to open 150 new outlets by the end of 2002 covering 23 cities,1 including Bhubaneshwar (Orissa) and Jamshedpur (Bihar).
In late 1999, Indocean Chase, the private equity fund bought a 25% stake in Domino’s operations in India from the Delhi-based industrial family, the Bhartias, who held Domino’s franchise in India.
The Essay on Environmental Analysis For Dominos Pizza
Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 and operates a network of company-owned and franchise-owned stores in the U.S.A. and internationally. Domino’s is recognized world wide as the leader in pizza delivery, Reinforced by their well-known slogan, “Get the door. It’s Domino’s.” In order to effectively do an environmental analysis, one must look at the company’s ...
Domino’s told investment bankers at the fund that it planned to go in for an initial public offering (IPO) in the next two years. Indocean Chase advised Domino’s to go beyond its 16 outlets in Delhi to exploit the potential in the pizza delivery business. Unless a well-thought-out expansion plan was put into place, the IPO was unlikely to find too many takers.
As part of its expansion plans Domino’s revamped its entire supply chain operations, from sourcing raw materials to shipping them for processing at a central location to delivering it to the customer’s. Initially, Domino’s had a simple model.
It had three self-contained commissaries in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore which bought their own wheat, tomatoes and other ingredients, processed them, then delivered them in refrigerated trucks to each outlet. However, volumes were expected to increase when Domino’s planned to open new outlets. Therefore, the existing model had to be revamped.
Bhatia said, “It’s crucial for us to build a low-cost supply chain operation which takes costs out of the system and in turn gives us greater pricing flexibility in the marketplace.” Analysts felt that Domino’s had to rethink its supply chain operation because it was the biggest area of costs. Since 75% of Domino’s customers ordered either from office or home, it did not have to lease large plots of land in prime locations to attract traffic. Instead, it needed an efficiently managed call centre to bring better returns
In the late 1950s, Dominick De Varti (Varti) owned a small pizza store named DomiNick’s Pizza on the Eastern Michigan University campus in Ypsilanti, Michigan. In 1960, two brothers who were students of the University of Michigan – Thomas S. Monaghan (Thomas) and James S. Monaghan (James) – bought the store for US$900. In 1961, James sold his share of business to Thomas.
The Coursework on Dominos Pizza Domino Company Store
Overview Company: Domino's Pizza Founded: In 1960 by Thomas S. Monaghan in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Ownership: In December 1998, investors, including funds managed by Bain Capital Inc. , a leading private equity investment firm, together with management and others, acquired a 93% stake in the Company, which was formerly owned by founder, Thomas Monaghan and his family. Description: Domino's Pizza has ...
The pizza business did well and by 1965, Thomas was able to open two more stores in the town – Pizza King and Pizza from the Prop. Within a year, Varti opened a pizza store in a neighborhood town with the same name, DomiNick’s Pizza.
Thomas decided to change the name of his first store, DomiNick’s Pizza, and one of his employees suggested the name Domino’s Pizza (Domino’s).
The advantage of this name Thomas felt was that it would be listed after DomiNick in the directory.
Domino’s philosophy rested on two principles – limited menu and delivering hot and fresh pizzas within half-an-hour. In 1967, it opened the first franchise store in Ypsilanti, and in 1968, a franchise store in Burlington, Vermont. However, the company ran into problems when its headquarters (the first store) and commissary were destroyed by fire. In the early 1970s, the company faced problems again when it was sued by Amstar, the parent company of Domino Sugar for trademark infringement. Thomas started looking for a new name and came up with Red Domino’s and Pizza’s Dispatch. However, there wasn’t any need for it because Domino’s won the lawsuit in 1980.
In 1982, Domino’s Pizza established Domino’s Pizza International (DPI) that was made responsible for opening Domino’s stores internationally. The first store was opened in Winnipeg, Canada. Within a year, DPI spread to more than 50 countries and in 1983, it inaugurated its 1000th store (Refer Exhibit II for worldwide revenues).
Around the same time, new pizza chains like Pizza Hut and Little Caesar established themselves in the US. Domino’s Pizza faced intense competition because it had not changed its menu of traditional hand-tossed pizza. The other pizza chains offered low-priced breadsticks, salads and other fast food apart from pizzas.. Analysts felt that Domino’s took a cue from McDonald’s supply chain model (Refer Box and Exhibit III for McDonald’s model).
However, they opined that the level of complexity in McDonald’s system in India was not as high as that of Domino’s. Commented Bhatia, “McDonald’s operations are not as spread out as ours. They are in four cities while we are in 16. Centralizing wouldn’t work on such a geographical scale.”
The Business plan on Pizza Hut 5
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PIZZA HUT Introduction of Pizza Hut was started in 1958, by two brothers in Wichita and Kansas. Frank and Dan Carney had the idea to open a pizza parlor. They borrowed $600 from their mother and opened the first Pizza Hut. In 1959, the first franchise unit opened in Topeka, Kansas. Almost ten years later, Pizza Hut would be serving one million customers a week in their 310 ...
Thus in early 2000, Domino’s came out with its own logistics model. It began at the point Domino’s purchased wheat for making the pizza dough. Domino’s first decided the procurement strategy for its key raw materials: wheat, baby corn, tomatoes and spices.
For instance, wheat was cheapest in Jalandhar’s (Punjab) wholesale markets.
Domino’s refrigerated trucks got the wheat back to the commissary in Delhi. Commissary processed the wheat and prepared the pizza dough. The pizza dough and other items prepared in commissaries were then sent to the retail outlets again in refrigerated trucks.
The temperature inside the truck was fixed based on the distance between the retail outlets and the commissaries. This was to set the dough at a particular level when it reached the outlets. The retail outlets had to use up the processed dough within three days of delivery. If they failed to do so for some reason the entire quantity was discarded.
To get to Jalandhar, the trucks had to pass Chandigarh. Chandigarh with a cosmopolitan population, was a potential market for Domino’s products. Therefore, Domino’s opened an outlet there. The cost of entry was low because there was no additional costs incurred on transportation of products…
