Background of the company
The Australian pizza industry is among the most competitive in the world dominated by the market leader, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (Ibisworld 2013). 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). The business currently provides customers with pickup and delivery pizza meal options offering customers the traditional methods of ordering such as telephone calls and in store walk-ins as well as a digital ordering service via online mobile applications and a desktop website.
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).

Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income:- The purpose of this statement is to present total group earnings as a single entity without dividing the earnings attributable to nom-controlling shareholders and owners of the parent company. The revenues, expense and taxation of all companies included in the group are consolidated as a single entity regardless of the parents ownership in the subsidiary companies in order to provide results of the group as a whole. Similarly the entity concept is applied to consolidate all the components of other comprehensive income that are not permitted to be included in the profit or loss section. Consolidated comprehensive income is particularly useful when understanding the changes in the company’s fair value of assets.
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.

In order for any restaurant to keep up, they have to be willing to learn and implement instead of sitting back and expecting repeat customers for a location with menu options that never change to accommodate its customers.

...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. In addition franchises and fast food chains should be targeted for partnerships or joint ventures so Ice-Fili’s ice cream can grow in association with a post meal dessert opposed to simply impulsive snack purchases. A key avenue to explore is an Initial Public Offering. This would generate enough funds to continue capital investment in technology desperately needed as well as promoting international market growth.
PepsiCo can potentially acquire California Pizza Kitchen and integrate it in the company’s decentralized management approach. Since PepsiCo executives have experience in the quick service food industry, it should not be a reach for the company to successfully run this casual dining restaurant. For this venture to be successful, it is imperative that management cut down the operating costs at California Pizza Kitchen through the PepsiCo Food Systems distribution network and improve on the 3.1% operating margin that California Pizza Kitchen is currently operating at.
