While most of us view pizza as a $10 decision involving sausage, pepperoni and green peppers, operations like Domino’s and Pizza Hut have a lot more dough at stake. Last year, for example, Domino’s Pizza profits grew by 50 percent to $5.4 million after more than a year of cost-cutting and layoffs. But the nation’s No. 2 pizza chain added only 218 stores last year – the lowest number since 1983 at a firm accustomed to rapid growth. President P. David Black nevertheless predicts a new strategy of using native franchisees instead of importing U.S. citizens should revive a stalled drive overseas, which Domino’s Chairman Thomas S. Monaghan has called a financial “bloodbath.” Still, analysts caution that Domino’s success mostly depends on what it does in the United States, home to most of its more than 5,300 stores. They say the company needs to cook up spicier advertising to slow down rival Pizza Hut’s accelerating drive to overcome Domino’s dominance of home delivery. Black agrees and is reviewing the Ann Arbor-based company’s 16-year relationship with the Group 243 advertising agency here. But he emphasizes that sustained growth ultimately hinges on Domino’s continued devotion to service and its trademark 30-minute delivery guarantee. Milford Prewitt, senior editor for Nation’s Restaurant News, a New York-based trade magazine, says the battle is far from over. “Domino’s is still in a pretty good situation. It has low . costs in the fastest-growing segment of the restaurant business – pizza delivery,” Prewitt says. “But Pizza Hut has a rich parent, greater resources and is moving in. Domino’s (slowing) numbers may be reflecting that.” PepsiCo, parent company to Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell, has become the second-largest restaurant company in the world. Its three fast-food chains have more than $11 billion in combined sales – accounting for three of the nation’s top 10 fast-food chains. go to website dominos coupon codes By comparison, Domino’s posted a 6 percent sales gain to $2.65 billion in 1990. Even so, Domino’s still controls about half the pizza delivery market, compared with barely more than 10 percent for Pizza Hut. More than 2,300 of Pizza Hut’s 6,600 U.S. outlets offer delivery. Pizza Hut is the nation’s largest pizza restaurant chain and has about 8,000 stores worldwide. Black maintains Domino’s will continue to shape up after enduring a crash diet of consolidating regional offices and eliminating more than 100 headquarters jobs since late 1989. The budget-conscious company also has ended expensive sports sponsorships, including the racing team that won the Indianapolis 500 last year. The restructuring helped Domino’s after-tax earnings rise 50 percent in 1990 despite a year of depressed profit margins from intensely competitive price-cutting such as two pizzas for the price of one. A bright spot is that cheese prices have dropped by a third in the past year, Prewitt says. Cheese accounts for two-fifths of the cost of preparing food in a pizza. Food expenses add up to nearly a fourth of a pizza’s over-all cost. However, some analysts are quick to note that Domino’s 1990 gain is nothing to shout about. That’s because its 1989 profit of $3.6 million was the worst in a spectacular decade dominated by a five-year dash when Domino’s opened 3,600 stores from 1984 through 1988. Domino’s ended 1990 with 5,376 stores, the second consecutive year it failed to add more that 300 stores. Michael Kersmarki.
