For continued growth, however, Domino’s has to reduce customer churn, drive up same-store sales, continually reinforce and strengthen their brand, capitalize on socio-cultural shifts occurring in the United States and elsewhere, and finally continually redefine its in store dining strategies relative to the growing rise of online sales. Lesser competitors have higher in store and same store sales than Domino’s, and also have broader mix of lunch and dinner alternatives. In addition, according to Roper (2005) 58% of American households are willing to try a new dinner alternative relative to cooking or ordering out. Compounding this is the fact that 73% or 3 out of every four households by 4:30pm are clueless as to what will be served for dinner. These two insightful figures provide a glimpse into how volatile the quick service restaurants (QSR) marketplace is. Clearly the use of up sell, cross sell ad incentives to drive up...

...Nicholas Duerson Whitney Snyder Business 112 February 24, 2014 30 Years of Papa’s Pizza It all started 30 years ago, when John “Papa” Schnatter crafted the idea to knock out a broom closet inside of his father’s tavern located in Jeffersonville, Indiana (Papa Johns International 1). After receiving a business degree from Ball State University and turning his father’s failing tavern around with an idea of pizza, Mr. Schnatter would wind up selling his beloved ’71 Camero for a $1600.00 investment towards pizza equipment. (Papa Johns International 1) It was that entrepreneurial move which would eventually solidify an excellent business model to launch what is now known as “Papa John’s” and currently the third largest pizza franchise. Taking a look at how Mr. Schnatter rose his company to that achievement; you will see that popular partnerships, international expansion, and a first-class outlook on “quality over quantity” pays out in the long run! Papa John’s was conceived on October 2, 1984, when Mr. Schnatter knocked out a broom closet inside of his father’s tavern. (Papa Johns International 1) The business was nearly bankrupt, but Mr. Schnatter took initiative and planned to sell $5 dollar pizzas and 50 beers up front in his father’s business. It was that entrepreneurial move to start his own business that would keep that drive going. Only after a short and successful year, Mr. Schnatter would open his first Papa John’s store. Papa John’s started franchising their...

...Industry 1. Market Size Pizza Hut's smaller format store is about half the size and cost of its iconic red-roofed buildings. Chain began developing smaller stores three years ago. It so far has opened more than 300 and sees potential for 2,000 more in next five to 10 years. Pizza Hut is ordering up smaller restaurants. The iconic red-roofed chain, which saw its heyday in the 1980s, says downsizing and remodelling will allow it to open more restaurants and turn a profit faster for franchisees. Pizza Hut began developing this new model, dubbed Delco Lite, about three years ago when it realized delivery--which is the way most people prefer to receive their pizza--wasn't representing as much of the business as it once did. The new model opens up another 2,000 potential sites for Pizza Hut over the next five to 10 years. Pizza Hut, which is part of Yum Brands Inc. YUM, +0.60% has about 8,400 locations, most of which are the traditional, dine-in restaurants. Delco Lite trades the red roofs and dining rooms for a more contemporary design that fits in to tighter places and focuses more on delivery and carry-out. Pizza Hut has opened more than 300, and is mostly building them, in favor of the larger, stand-alone ones. The new model is about half the size of Pizza Hut's traditional restaurants and costs about half as much for franchisees to build, opening up more potential sites in the U.S. 2.
