Our basic philosophy is to choose great partners, who have both the operational and financial capacity to build a substantial business, and we teach them the Domino's operating model. There are many markets where our growth is being constrained by our ability to find the labour that we need at a quality level required to run pizza stores. What I have been absolutely impressed with is the quality of people here. That's something you can truly build a future on. Domino's has been pretty successful with its localisation efforts.
Pizza is a local business.
The connection the manager has to his local community is really important. So, many of our managers would do things like find out activities that are happening in their communities where there are large numbers of people who are going to be hungry and who would contact those organisations. Whether they are schools, civic organisations, or sporting events. We are constantly trying to figure out how to take labour out of the store, how to make a more consistent product, and how to deliver it more quickly and safely. And technology is a big help.
