Headquarters: Website: http://www.dominos.com Career Site Domino's specializes in delivery to homes and offices in 30-45 minutes and delivers more than one million pizzas each day. It allows ordering online and via Android, iOS and Windows 8 apps. Domino's Pizza offers Pan Pizzas, Crunchy Thin Crust, Ultimate Deep Dish and Classic Hand Tossed pizzas with a number of regional toppings. Side items include Chicken Kickers, Bread Sticks, Cheesy Bread, Cinna Stix, and Buffalo Wings. Domino's also offers oven-baked sandwiches and breadbowl pastas. Domino's specializes in efficient pizza delivery and has introduced innovations to keep pizzas warm including: - Domino's HeatWave hot bags were introduced in 1998. Each hot bag contains a patented heating mechanism warmed via electro-magnetic energy. This technology keeps the pizza oven-hot during a normal delivery. - Domino's was the innovator behind the sturdy, corrugated pizza box, which keeps moisture from weakening the box, while preventing cheese from sticking to the top during delivery. It's also hard to miss pizza delivery cars -- thanks to Domino's Pizza. Domino's invented the 3-D car-top sign, which is currently used by a variety of industries, including taxis and driving schools. To allow Domino's stores to concentrate on making and delivering pizzas, the company developed a central commissary system known as Domino's Supply Chain Services. This relieves stores from long hours making dough, grating cheese and preparing toppings. The company has a network of 17 domestic distribution centers that regularly supplies more than 5,000 U.S. pizza stores with more than 240 products. The most popular pizza toppings include pepperoni, mushroom, ham, sausage and green peppers. The company says its busiest delivery days are Super Bowl Sunday, followed by Halloween, New Year's Eve/Day and Thanksgiving Eve. More than 145,000 people are employed by Domino's around the globe. Of those, 15,000 are corporate employees, with more than 400 at the World Resource Center in Ann Arbor, MI. In addition, the stores are supported by corporate and franchise offices located throughout the United States. Regional Offices are located in Atlanta, GA, Baltimore, MD, and Santa Ana, CA. Domino's has more than 1,000 independent franchise owners who pay a 5.5% domestic royalty rate. More than 90% of owners started as Domino's drivers or assistant managers. In fiscal 2014, Domino's reported total revenues of $1.99 billion and net income of $162.6 million. Domestic sales increased 7.5% in 2014 and 6.9% internationally.
