Domino 'S Pizza, Inc., is the world's largest pizzeria by retail sales. Founded in 1960, the company is rooted in convenient pizza-delivery, while a large portion of its sales also come from takeaway customers. Although the company is a highly recognized global brand, he focuses on serving the local community through a large global network of franchise owners and stores owned by American companies. The company is primarily a franchisee, with approximately 98% of Domino's stores currently owned and operated by independent franchisees. Franchising enables individuals to be their own employers and maintain control over all employment-related matters and pricing decisions, while also benefiting from the strength of Domino's global brand, operating system and financial resources.
