Competitive Analysis
With such strong competition from current industry leader, Yum! Brands
Pizza Hut, Dominos has been forced to improve it product quality and offerings. To remain competitive, Dominos begin to offer many of the same products, such as, custom pizzas, breadsticks, chicken wings, and pasta. The company has also maintained prices that were comparable to its competitors.
Product Analysis
In a 2010 interview with Gayle King of The Gayle King Show on Oprah Radio, CEO, Patrick Doyle, acknowledged the inferiority of Dominos taste and quality. Since that time, Dominos Pizza has made a consorted effort to move the brand and image into a more favorably light. Offering many of the same products as its competitors pizza, breadsticks, chicken wings, Dominos Pizza must continue to find new, innovative ways to set itself apart from competitors and drive more consumers back to the Dominos brand.
