What Domino's does

World's largest pizza delivery/carryout chain, mostly franchised, with heavy investment in digital ordering technology.

Most stores are owned by franchisees, who pay royalties on sales and buy dough, cheese and other supplies from Domino's own distribution centers, so the supply-chain arm brings in more revenue than royalties but at lower margin. Outside the US, master franchisees such as Jubilant FoodWorks in India run whole countries.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Consumer discretionary

  • Pizza delivery/carryout

What could go right

  • International franchise unit growth
  • Digital ordering/loyalty sales mix

What could go wrong

  • Delivery-market saturation and aggregator competition
  • US same-store sales deceleration

Moat: narrow (scale, brand, distribution). Owned supply-chain/distribution network and early, heavy investment in digital ordering give a cost and convenience edge.
