COMPANY PROFILE
Company Background-
In 1960, Tom Monaghan and his brother, James, purchased Domi Nick's, a small

pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The deal was secured by a US$75 down

payment and the brothers borrowed $500 to pay for the store. Eight months later,

James traded his half of the business to Tom for a used Volkswagen Beetle. As
sole owner of the company, Tom Monaghan renamed the business Domino's Pizza,
Inc. in 1965. In 1967, the first Domino's Pizza franchise store opened in
Ypsilanti. The company logo was originally planned to add a new dot with the
addition of every new store, but this idea quickly faded as Domino's experienced
rapid growth. By 1978, the franchise opened its 200th store.

crust styles and toppings. Additional entrees include pasta bread bowls and oven-
baked sandwiches. The menu offers chicken side dishes, breadsticks and salads, as
well as beverages and desserts.
From its founding until the early 1990s, the menu at Domino's Pizza was kept
simple relative to other fast food restaurants, to ensure efficiency of deliver y.
Historically, Domino's menu consisted solely of one pizza in two sizes (12-inch
and 16- inch), 11 toppings, and Coke as the only soft drink opt ion.
The first menu expansion occurred in 1989, with the debut of Domino's deep
dish, or pan pizza. Its introduction followed market research showing that 40% of
American pizza customers preferred thick crusts. The new product launch cost
approximately $25 million, of which $15 million was spent on new sheet metal
pans with perforated bottoms. Domino's started testing extra-large size pizzas in
early 1993, starting with the 30-slice, yard-long "The Dominator".
Domino's tapped into a market trend toward bite-size foods with spicy Buffalo
Chicken Kickers, as an alternative to Buffalo wings, in August 2002. The breaded,
baked, white-meat fillets, similar to chicken tenders, are packaged in a custom-
designed box with two types of sauce to "heat up" and "cool down" the chicken.
In August 2003, Domino's announced its first new pizza since January 2000, the
Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. The product launch also marked the beginning of a
partnership with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, whose beef Check-Off
logo appeared in related advertising. Domino's continued its move toward specialty
pizzas in 2006, with the introduction of its "Brooklyn Style Pizza", featuring a
thinner crust, cornmeal baked in to add crispness, and larger slices that could be
folded in the style of traditional New York –style pizza.
In 2008, Domino's once again branched out into non-pizza fare, offering oven-
baked sandwiches in four styles, intended to compete with Subway's toasted
submarine sandwiches.
Early marketing for the sandwiches made varied references to its competition, such
as offering free sandwiches to customers named "Jared," a reference to Subway's

The company introduced its American Legends line of specialty pizzas in 2009,
featuring 40% more cheese than the company's regular pizzas, along with a
greater variety of toppings. That same year, Domino's began selling its Bread
Bowl Pasta entree, a lightly seasoned bread bowl baked with pasta inside, and
Lava Crunch Cake dessert, composed of a crunchy chocolate shell filled with war
m fudge. Domino's promoted the item by flying in 1,000 cakes to deliver at
Hoffstadt Bluffs Visitor Centre near Mount St Helens. In 2010, the company
changed its pizza recipe "from the crust up", making significant changes in the
dough, sauce and cheese used in their pizzas. Their advertising campaign admitted
to earlier problems with the public perception of Domino's product due to issues
of taste.
Starting in 1973, Domino's Pizza had a guarantee that customers would receive
their pizzas within 30 minutes of placing an order, or they would receive the
pizzas free. The guarantee was reduced to $3 off in the mid 1980s. In 1992, the
company settled a lawsuit brought by the family of an Indian woman who had
been killed by a Domino's delivery driver, paying the family $2.8 million. In
1993, Domino's settled another lawsuit, this one brought by a woman who was
injured when a Domino's delivery driver ran a red light and collided with her
vehicle. The woman was paid nearly $80 million. The guarantee was dropped that

DEFINITION OF ANALYSIS
Analysis methods should be selected on the basis of whether or not they will be
able to effectively answer the evaluation questions within each evaluation project.
There are a number of considerations when selecting evaluation methods. The first
is to make sure that the methods which are selected are appropriate and ethical
for the groups involved in them. Appropriate ethical approval processes need to be
followed where required and evaluators need to confirm to appropriate ethical
standards. Methods selection in evaluation also needs to be very focused on value
for money in terms of the selection of methods. There are usually limited
evaluation resources and they need to be used wisely. Evaluation methods should
be ‘fit for purpose’ in the sense that they provide the amount of information
required at a level of certainty which is sufficient for the purpose of the
evaluation.

LIMITATIONS
Scope of project is limited in the sense that only Dominos has been taken
for consumer research.
The extent of the survey was Kanpur only. So the suggestions or
arguments given in the report may not hold true for other locations in
India.
Questionnaire method involves some uncertainty of response. Co-operation
on the part of informants, in some cases, was difficult to presume.
Because of time constraints and reserve constraints, a mix of convenient
sampling and judgment (Probability & Random) sampling was used.
Also because of above mentioned constraints, the sample size
chosen for the survey was 100 people.
It is possible that the information supplied by the informants may be
incorrect.
