How Domino's Became The World's Biggest Pizza Chain | Big Business | Business Insider

[@NPCVenture]

Missed the biggest reason people left those jobs. They don't pay enough for bare minimum food, water, shelter, and amenities needed to live in most areas. No one has a problem working, just a problem with employers who intentionally pay them less than what is needed to live.

[@its_jawsh6145]

I work at Domino’s and you’re 100% right. At most someone will make $2000 a month and that’s grinding every day or closing at least 4 days a week but managers try and keep driver hours at about 20 hours a week. Insiders dont have it much better and make significantly less unless ur a manager but even then the drivers can out make a GM but that’s a grind. Overall Domino’s can keep it’s pizzas so cheap because it pays everyone shit wages

[@FFGFMENDOZA]

Why should they when you can hire illegals to fill in those slots. We'd have a lot higher wages nation wide if we didn't have an 11million workforce willing to work for pennies driving down wages.

Having worked as a driver for dominos, i can verify that the reason they are facing a labour shortage is simply because they do not pay enough. Lots of drivers i knew left the chain because they could make more money doing deliveroo or uber eats. That is despite the fact that our store would earn the franchise rediculous amounts of money as we were always busy. Our managers would give out free food to employees all the time and still keep well below the weekly budget.

Hi, I am doing some research work on Dominos and would like to know your views on the company and your work. Please let me know how we can do that. Would appreciate a lot.

[@MoHawkAnakin]

@@krushiparekhI use to deliver for them. They pay horrible. Not much else too it. Drivers get basically minimum wage while in store, and when out on a delivery they drop our pay to like $5.50 an hour because we are “getting tipped while delivering” Stopped doing it when I realized how much more I can make doing UberEats. I make twice the amount in half the time. With whatever hours I want. Lunch break whenever I want. No washing dishes and no sweeping and mopping the floor.

I was a manager at dominos in 2019, I was making 7.25 an hour, and working over 90 hours a week, I was pulling $1200 paychecks every 2 weeks. Most of the time I was working from 7am-4am and have to open so I would either sleep in the office or in the parking lot because the 45 minute drive home just wasn't even worth it. And through the 4 or 5 years I worked there, never once got a lunch break

1. It blows my mind that anywhere still has $7.25 minimum wage. 2. How can they pay a manager minimum wage? You could work anywhere else and make the same wage for less work. I'm pretty sure I made about that as a Domino's driver (plus I got tips) back in 2008.

No it does not sound like that. In fact it sounds like "These jobs are supposed to be hard work and society has determined that these workera don't deserve more than minimum wage even though the work is clearly beyond the physical capability of one person and we at dominos can't be better than that because then it will eat into our profits. In fact if we do this in one facility, we will have to do it everywhere and that will make us broke". Any company selling anything cheaply is because some where in the supplychain, some worker is getting skrewed. Not the owner. Flip side is that the consumer sucks too. If they increase the prices, we lose our loyalty. But I think thats also because we don't know why a company has increased prices. We think we are getting screwed over

I was still in high school and my coworkers too. We all worked toguether from Fridays after school til Sunday midnight. I had a bunch of fun and we got free food pretty often. Dominos is well regulated and good place to work, it’s just that I made minimum wage at the time, and that’s great for a high school kid that I was. But not for a working adult with responsibilities.

This mass-production process goes against our interpretation of pizza, which we appreciate ONLY IF hand-crafted daily by true professionals with top-quality ingredients. I tried Domino, both in Australia and in the US. I was impressed for 3 reasons: how rich their pizzas are. How fast their delivery is. How cheap they’re. However, there will never be able to franchise the brand here in Italy! Their dough is rubbery, we wouldn’t serve their mozzarella to our worst enemy and all the other toppings are low quality, flavorless crap. I know you guys love your Dominos pizza and I’m not trying to be offensive, I’m actually praising you for your admirable ability in transforming Art into pure gold. Bravo!!! God bless America

U can tell that Domino's knows how to make their operations and supply chain running as effective as possible. That robotic extension to their manual labor operations was a very good decision even it cost lots of money. The positive return is definitely there! Thx for the vid BI!

[@DarkGT]

The problem is not that they will replace the difficult manual jobs, but that they won't invest into increasing the qualification of the workers that will be jobless in the future, in order to for them to be a job in the company. Let's be honest, most of the work is manual work, not that much an office work, there won't be place for everyone if the machines start to replace near 100% of the work.

None of those workers will switch to a "better job" at the company. That's delusional corporate propaganda, they know it as well as we do. For 20 working class people they fire, they'll hire one engineer or manager and the difference in salary (and productivity) adds onto the profits.

[@mightza3781]

People are going the way of the horses. Developed countries have below replacement birthrates for a reason. Automation decreases the amount of required human labor and humans have to stay in school longer in the credential arms race. The result is that people have kids later if at all and the few kids that are born are subject to the same factors. In a developed country, kids are a terrible investment vehicle and due to child labor laws cannot contribute to the family until after two decades. Thus, in developed nations, the only kids who are born are by parents who actually wanted them despite the cost. By contrast, in developing nations, every extra kid is an extra pair of hands on the farm, sweatshop or etc to bring in money to the family. Just like horses, if the demand for unskilled labor isn't there, people will naturally have less kids due to the credential arms race.

If places paid employees what they were worth and we lived in a society that actually looked after people things would be different. Also imo automation doesn't remove the need for humans it changes things but gives opportunity to increase knowledge and focus on other areas that may need things

The problem is that not everyone can do every job. That is impossible. You cannot train a not smart person to do smart things. The person will always run behind the more in the area of expertise gifted person. It does not remove the need for humans, but it generates a massive shortage. I work in automation and notice that heavily. In my area you could find dozens of high pay places, but there are not enough people to fill the gaps. I have tried to train already plenty of people and I noticed that, compared to some with some talent, those will not even reach 10% capacity of the people who can do those jobs thoroughly. Does this make people bad? No! It just shows, that people are diverse.

One day at Taco Bell I remembered this guy explaining how he had 5 different jobs and that scared me, big time. I thought to myself I don't want that for myself or for any of my future family.

I myself deem pretty worthless and I am proud and happy to say that I am. There is no shame in it, nor does your own belief change anything except the psyche, if you feel importance for selfworth. "Worth" is also heavily situational, so pragmatically its a quite useless term to use upon yourself as a punishment or way to nutrition your ego. The reason, why I am proud and happy about it is that I am alot healthier and, seeing it being a long process to overcome, hard to manage.
