“In 60 years,” CFO Stuart Levy said on Thursday, “we’ve never made a dollar delivering a pizza. We make money on the product, but we don’t make money on the delivery.”
This is playing with words. HR at any company never made a profit. Doesn't mean recruiters are an uncertain business.
I do think looking at pizza delivery is interesting. And I also think Dominos is interesting, although they are becoming a little cult like.
Pizza is delivered because the food fits with delivery. It would be interesting to look to see if Domino's or pizza in general has changed to make it better for delivery.
Pizza is one of those foods that can sit under heat lamps and not become incredibly bad - which means it will travel and deliver well. Anything above the fast food level gets progressively more difficult- until you’re at fancy dishes that waiters have a hard time delivering to a table at the restaurant let alone across town.
