Today, the publicly listed company is the principal largest, low cost, pizza chain in Australia operating four hundred and ten retail food outlets, employing over 21,000 employees Australia wide (Ibisworld 2013).

Primarily, it is two principal activities that differentiate Domino’s Pizza from other close competitors in the fast food pizza industry, those being continual digital innovation and constant product differentiation. Specifically, it is the multimedia digital innovation of delivering to the market the first online pizza ordering system along with several social media platforms and the company’s focus on product differentiation by offering healthy menu options coupled with higher quality ingredients that keeps the business ahead of close competitors.
In introducing such innovations over the past two years Domino’s has been able to build a solid foundation for business growth and development. In particular, 2013 saw domino’s pizza experiencing a significant change in business activities with the pizza business growing into “an online digital business that sells pizza where they are the best in their class for digital sales, marketing and execution” (DPE 2013, p.06).

The article discusses how Panera Bread had to rethink its service model seven years ago. Customers had to wait in line approximately eight minutes to place an order. Furthermore, ten percent of the time, the orders were incorrect. As a result, the company decided that online ordering was the solution to their problem. In 2012, the organization opened a Panera prototype in Braintree, Massachusetts to test the elements of “Panera 2.0”. “Panera 2.0” consisted of self-order kiosks, delivery, digital ordering and a new practice of bringing food to customers’ tables. Getting the right process took Panera Bread over six years. However, all the time spent and money invested paid off for the company. Panera is now recognized as one of the best-performing chains in the industry. In addition, a quarter of the company sales come from online ordering and customers waiting time to place an order reduced to one minute. In 2016, the company posted its best sales growth in four years, outperforming the industry average by 6.5% points.

...alented young managers in this area need to be aggressively obtained for long term growth. For a quick fix, this service should be outsourced to handle current needs. Distribution channels need to improve as well. Currently, competitor’s products are easily found at major retail channels. Nestle is in the position to gain a strong hold on the home dessert market for ice cream. Ice-fili needs to compete more aggressively in this portion of the market.
