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

Domino's is the world's largest pizza chain, beating out Pizza Hut in sales over the last five years. To keep ahead of competition and a labor shortage, the chain has introduced robots and machines to make pizza dough. Domino's new technology mirrors a growing automation trend across the fast food industry. It's sped up production and replaced jobs that are tough on workers' bodies.
We went inside Domino's newest dough-making center to see how all the latest automation is being put to the test ahead of the biggest pizza holiday: the Super Bowl.

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

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.

[@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 don’t get why people even still deliver for that company.

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

[@kuebby]

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.

I'm sorry but can we take a moment to appreciate the blunt honesty of this person saying "They're a shit company" in nicer words?

[@akshayde]

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

At least their doughs aren't frozen. I used to work for Pizza Hut a little over 10 years ago and their pizza doughs come frozen. We would take it out from the freezer and put it in a thawing machine which would take about an hour to thaw. I hated Pizza Hut because they were robbing their drivers of the delivery fees. The store would charge $3.50 at the time for delivery and only gave the drivers $1.10 per delivery, but they would make them do two stops and still got $1.10 i stead of $2.20. I was one of their drivers. This is why I hope Pizza Hut fails and shut down permanently.

[@DaimonTrilogy]

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.

@@Dan-di9jd Strawmaning deluxe.

@@DaimonTrilogy sure but getting paid what the job offers is not really indicative of your self-worth. It should just instead motivate you to do other jobs. For myself, and a lot of my peers, we worked at McD, Taco Bell, and Retail as a teenage and that was a valuable life lesson for all of us. 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. Dominos Pizza should not be a career option in anyone's life.

[@DaimonTrilogy]

@@Dan-di9jd Never mentioned selfworth, but I agree with that statement. It is just off topic. Selfworth is totally subjective and I for instance try to diminish selfworth. 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.

Here in Italy since 20 July 2022 all Domino's pizza restaurants have closed due to bankruptcy. 😂 Apparently, the American-style pizza concept hasn't worked well enough in the country where pizza originated. Edit: I find incredibly ridiculous the fact that I have to explain this but since people is so fussy and nitpicking about my comment here we are: what I was referring to is the concept and the word “pizza” that has indeed been originated in Italy, yes you can say “flatbread with toppings is from Egypt” or “tomatoes are not native to Italy and without them we cannot speak about pizza” or whatever, but Pizza 🍕 is from Italy, period, that’s all.

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.
