INTRODUCTION 
Introduction 
~ 9 ~
Fast food is one of the world’s largest growing food types. India’s fast food industry is 
growing by 40% .the multinational segment of Indian fast food industry is up to Rs. 20 
billion, a figure which is expected to zoom more than Rs.30 billion by 2010. In last 6 
years, foreign investment in this sector stood at rs.3600 million which is about one-fourth 
of total investment made in this sector. Because of the availability of raw material for fast 
food, global chains are flooding into the country. The percentage share held by 
foodservice of total consumer expenditure on food has increased from a very low base to 
stand at 2.6% in 2001. Eating at home remains very much ingrained in Indian culture and 
changes in eating habits are very slow moving with barriers to eating out entrenched in 
certain sectors of Indian society. The growth in nuclear families, particularly in urban 
India, exposure to global media and western cuisine and an increasing number of women 
joining the workforce have had an impact on eating out trends. 
Major players in fast food are: 
• McDonalds’ 
• KFC 
• Pizza hut 
• Dominos pizza 
• Café coffee day 
• Barista 
• Subway 
The main reason behind the success of the multinational chains is their expertise in 
product development, sourcing practices, quality standards, service levels and

standardized operating procedures in their restaurants, a strength that they have 
developed over years of experience around the world.

opened the very first pizza hut. In 1959, the first franchise unit opened in topeka, kansas. 
Ten years later, pizza hut was serving one million customers a week in their 310 
locations. In 1970, pizza hut was put on the new york stock exchange under the ticker 
symbol piz. 
~ 13 ~
Until 1997, pepsi owned pizza hut, the company also controlled a vast network of fast-food 
operations that included kfc, pizza hut, and taco bell. With 29,000 locations across 
the world, the restaurant group was the largest in the world. However, pepsico decided to 
spin off its restaurant business as a separate company. 
Pizza hut is one of the flagship brands of yum! Brands, inc., which also has kfc, taco bell, 
a&w and long john silver’s under its umbrella. Pizza hut is the world’s largest pizza chain 
with over 12,500 restaurants across 91 countries

Pizza Hut Vision And Mission 
Worldwide and in India, pizza hut has come to become synonymous with the best pizzas 
under one roof’. This is because at pizza hut the belief is that every pizza has its own 
magic, thus making it a destination product – which everyone seeks. It is this belief that 
has ignited the passion to create, innovate and serve the finest product the industry has to 
offer, while setting standards for others to strive to replicate. 
Pizza hut is committed for providing uncompromising product quality, offering customers 
the highest value for money and giving service that is warm, friendly and personal. A 
critical factor in pizza hut’s success has been its unique dining experience. Crewmembers 
~ 14 ~
at pizza hut strive each day to provide ‘customer mania’ – the kind of service that ensures 
that every visit of the customer is a memorable one. 
A critical factor in pizza hut’s success has been a menu that has constantly evolved and 
expanded to cater to the changing needs and specific preferences of customers in 
different parts of the world. In having understood the pulse of the customers in India, 
pizza hut has clearly established itself as a brand with an Indian heart. Besides offering an 
extensive range of vegetarian pizzas, it was the first pizza chain to open a 100% 
vegetarian restaurant in India in surat and later in ahmedabad and chowpatty, where it 
offers a jain menu sans all root-based ingredients. 
Over the years pizza hut has also developed and successfully introduced a range of 
products especially suited to the Indian palate. These products like chicken tikka, spicy 
korma, picy paneer and the masala and tandoori pizzas have been a tremendous success. 
What has also given pizza hut acompetitive edge is that in addition to an extensive range 
of internationally renowned pizzas like the Italian, the proprietary pan pizza and stuffed 
crust, in India the menu offers the option of a complete meal. It includes appetizers, a 
salad bar - where the customers can make their own fresh salads, a range of soups, pastas 
and desserts etc. 
Core Competencies 
Pizza Hut 
Tracing Footsteps 
~ 15 ~
Pizza hut is akin to the Indian heart and taste buds. Pizza hut has been able to capture the 
heart and soul of Indians. This, they achieved through rapid Indianization of pizzas. 
Chicken tikkas, tandoori range and spicy korma were welcomed by pizza lovers. In 
addition to this, pizza hut takes pride in having the only 100% vegetarian pizza hut in the 
world at ahmadabad, surat and mumbai’s chowpatty . It also has a special jain friendly 
menu without root based ingredients and even serves salad dressings without eggs!!! 
Through The Looking Glass 
Thinking out of the box was never new at pizza hut. With the “palat” campaign, they 
even nudged Indians to eat pizza backwards. The vehicle for this change was the stuffed 
crust pizza which has become a huge hit. The pizza’s outer crust has a stuffing of 
mozzarella cheese and one can run into people eating these pizzas backwards in many 
outlets. Talk about bringing changes!!! 
Pizza hut is really going global. Tuscani pastas that is truly italian is now at every pizza 
hut outlet. With changing tastes of Indians and greater acceptance of international 
cuisines, pizza hut has introduced 30 new items on its menu for this festival season. 
These include beverages, pasta and desserts. 
Pizza hut express outlets were launched at malls, airports, department stores and gas 
stations which offers a reduced version of the menu for globe trotters and busy bees. 
Moreover pizza hut is not just a hangout zone for youngsters. It organizes birthday 
bashes, kitty parties and corporate lunches.

Dreaming Big 
Pizza hut aims to be the number one restaurant chain in India and expects a turnover of 
$1 billion by 2015. The yum restaurants plans to invest $150 million in the next 5 years 
to expand the number of outlets to 1000 from the existing 215. 
Dominos 
Pizzas topped with cheese and happiness, dominos is committed to put an extra smile on 
its customers’ faces, with a mission of “exceptional people on a mission to be the best 
pizza delivery company in the world! ". 
Tracing Footsteps 
Many pizza lovers would still remember the havoc that occurred in mid april 2009 in 
which some dull witted dominos employees posted a kitchen video of dominos that 
clearly showed the lack of sanitation in their kitchen in youtube. The video attracted 
millions of views in a few hours and was indeed viral. Dominos did an excellent job of 
crisis management and used social media to spread a viral video in which the company 
president took control of the situation and apologized to the public, announced separation 
of the company from wrong doers and their prosecution. He also guaranteed that such 
issues will not happen again. Dominos clearly proved that communication meant 
engagement, transparency and responsiveness to the interaction with customers. 
~ 17 ~
Through The Looking Glass 
It has never been difficult for dominos to find out novel ways to enthrall its customers. 
Delicacies that do not rip wallets have always got the crowd coming back to the dominos 
although its ambience is not up to that of its competitors. Khushion ki home delivery, 
where the order gets delivered in less than 30 minutes. All other activities, be it new 
variants, great service, timely deliveries or more for the same price the effort of dominos 
has always been directed towards making its customers happy. 
Access To Crucial Resources 
Pizza Hut

concern being quality of service, be it in terms of delivery or quality of pizzas. The 
employees undergo extensive training to achieve technical finesse and leadership 
qualities. The newly chosen chefs are trained by the older and more experienced ones for 
a period of about 20 days. Pizza hut takes pride in walking the talk with the leadership 
principles of yum restaurants. These values include customer focus, trust in people, 
recognition, accountability, excellence, positive energy and team work. The customer 
focus is so high that they have separate systems in place to satisfy vegetarian customers. 
Vegetarian dishes are prepared and served using separate green spatulas. 
Moreover pizza hut is not just a hangout zone for youngsters. It organizes birthday 
bashes, kitty parties and corporate lunches. 
~ 18 ~

customer it is the variety and taste of pizzas which is directly tied to its employees!

Pizza Hut

In 1991 under the guidance of a visionary narasimha rao and his comrade manmohan 
singh India marched towards a new era of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation.

that pizza hut made its infant steps in India, with its first outlet at bangalore. Today 
bangalore alone has a striking 19 outlets which remain busy till late night. 
pizza hut has 140 restaurants across 34 cities in India including metros. With its focus 
steadily on quality and variety, pizza hut has given a new dimension to regular pizza eat-outs.

lesser purchasing power and disposable income. The status is steadily improving as more

Positioning 
Points Of Difference 
The major point of difference between pizza hut and dominos is that pizza hut 
concentrates on in-restaurant dining. The ambience and decor of all pizza hut outlets are 
good and the outlets are spacious. When customers think of party and decide to have 
pizza, pizza hut only comes into their mind. Pizza hut also arranges kitty parties, birthday 
parties and business meetings in their outlets. Pizza hut has customized birthday party 
invites with different themes for the customers to choose and use it as invitations. 
Dominos aims at fast home delivery of pizza. Whenever customers want to have pizza at 
home, they think of calling dominos and ordering for it because they are experts in home 
delivery of pizza. “we earn 60% of our revenue from home delivery of pizzas and 40% 
from the restaurant sales” , says mr.navamani, manager of dominos, coimbatore v.o.c. 
Park outlet. In case of pizza hut, the major revenue is from restaurant sales. 
Points Of Parity 
Category points of parity – the main food item that is sold in pizza hut and dominos is 
pizza. As we all know, pizza comes under the fast food category of foods, both the 
~ 29 ~
companies must be good in speed of making and service. Irrespective of the cost, both 
pizza hut and dominos has to deliver or serve pizza in less time as compared to other 
main course food items served in other restaurants. 
Competitive points of parity – competitive points of parity in case of pizza hut is that, 
even though pizza hut is costlier than dominos, they have their own customers, who do 
not bother about spending, but look for quality and personalized service. When we visit 
pizza hut, they have restaurant hostess who will assign us tables and introduce the 
steward who will be taking care of us. This is generally a procedure that is followed in 
five star category hotels and pizza hut is also following it to emphasize on service quality. 
In case of dominos, they are not costly as pizza hut and do not offer great ambience to 
customers, but offer good pizzas at nominal price. They concentrate on turnover of 
covers and cater to customers who don’t have time to spend on food and just stop over 
for refreshment. Moreover, dominos mainly looks into home delivery of pizzas and are 
experts in it. 
Product 
Pizza Hut 
The Customer Value Hierarchy 
From the above diagram we can see that pizza hut has enjoyment as a basic product but 
it provides food for it. Thus a person having a basic need of enjoyment can go to pizza 
hut and have pizza which is the company’s core product. Hot pizza and good taste are 
~ 30 ~
his expectation. Thus the company should ensure this by providing good pizza. The 
value adds services refer to the overall dining experience, the service quality, ambience 
etc. 
Product Differentiation 
Worldwide and in India, pizza hut has come to become synonymous with the ‘best pizzas 
under one roof’. This is because at pizza hut the belief is that every pizza has its own 
magic, thus making it a destination product – which everyone seeks. It is this belief that 
has ignited the passion to create, innovate and serve the finest product the industry has to 
offer, while Setting standards for others to strive to replicate. Pizza hut is committed to 
providing uncompromising product quality, offering customers the highest value for 
money and giving service that is warm, friendly and personal. A critical factor in pizza 
hut’s success has been its unique dining experience. Crewmembers at pizza hut strive 
each day to provide ‘customer mania’ – the kind of service that ensures that every visit of 
the customer is a memorable one. 
Pizza Features 
Pizza hut has many unique features of their product due to which it attracts the customers. 
The product is classified into non durable goods as it is a food item pizza hut 
differentiates itself with its competitors with respect to their wide range of offerings 
(menu items) one can find besides pizzas range of, pastas appetizers, cakes, and desserts 
etc. 
· Mass Customisation 
~ 31 ~
The main advantage of pizza hut is that one can customise his own pizza by selecting the 
bread and loading it with the toppings which one can select. This creates variety in the 
customers mind and thus one can enjoy whatever pizza hut can offer. 
The most unique feature is that there is ‘pan 4 all’ scheme where one can select 4 
different types of vegetarian /non- vegetarian combinations of pizza! This is a unique 
way of offering as there are many consumers who come in groups where someone in the 
group may want a non- vegetarian pizza can avail the offer. 
· Conformance Quality 
Pizza hut’s products have very high conformance quality i.e. All the products produced 
are identical and meet the promised specifications 
· Style 
Pizza is delivered in hot pans and served in style. The toppings in the pizzas are also 
dressed in a good fashion. Thus having ‘food in style’ defines pizza hut’s experience. 
Service Differentiation 
· Ordering Ease 
Once one enters the restaurant immediately the assistants initiates the ordering process by 
providing the menu. All associates are well trained in english and can take order from any 
customer. 
· Delivery 
~ 32 ~
Pizza hut’s style of delivering the pizza to the customer is quite an experience. The 
restaurant is aesthetically designed; all the staff members are uniquely dressed. Managers 
dressed in special uniforms. Also the tables, menu, are all placed in a good manner. This 
on itself is quite impressive. All orders placed in restaurant is served within 15-20 
minutes and the take away orders (ordered on phone) is delivered within 30 minutes. 
Care also has been taken by the company to pack the pizzas in special covers so that it 
remains hot till the customer haves the food. Any pizzas delivered outside 30 minutes are 
given free. Also discount coupons are given to the customer in case one doesn’t want a 
free pizza. 
· Co- Branding 
Pizza hut has joined hands with visa for availing various offers. However this offer is only 
for the in dining i.e. One cannot avail the offers pertaining to visa for take away and 
home orders. 
A visa credit card holder can avail offers like family meal for a lower cost and select 
other combinations of items which would have not been possible otherwise. 
Thus visa and pizza hut assist each other for branding themselves. 
Packaging & Labelling 
The packaging of the pizza has been quite extraordinary in the sense that, it serves the 
basic purpose of ‘serving hot tasty pizza’. 
· In House Dining 
~ 33 ~
In house dining, the pizzas are not packed, instead they are served in hot pans, and plates 
are provided to the customers. The extra ingredients like oregano mix, chilli flakes etc. 
Are kept in a bottle having pores. Thus the customer can easily pour the ingredients into 
the pizza. 
· Take Away Orders 
They are put in a paper box neatly labelled with pizza hut brand logo. Also there is a 
plastic support given (it’s in the shape of a tripod) at the bottom of the pizza to prevent it 
from sticking at the bottom. A pizza hut logo is also given in the tripod. The extra 
ingredients like oregano mix, chilli flakes etc. Are given in a paper pouch which is also 
branded with the pizza hut logos. 
· Home Delivery Orders 
All the pizzas covered in paper boxes described above are packaged into a special 
delivery bags for retaining the heat. Thus we can observe that from every labelling, 
packaging the company tries to imbibe the brand of pizza hut in the minds of consumers. 
Place 
Once the product has been decided upon and the market segmented, targeted and the 
product positioned, it is time to decide how and where the marketer can deliver the value 
~ 34 ~
(product) to the customer. This is done through marketing channels that make the product 
available for consumption to the customer. 
Push And Pull Strategies In Channel Marketing: 
In a push strategy, the manufacturer uses his sales force, trade promotion, money or other 
means to induce intermediaries to carry promote and sell its products to end users. 
In a pull strategy, the manufacturer uses advertising, promotion and other forms of 
communication to persuade the customer to demand the product from intermediaries, thus 
inducing the intermediaries to order it. 
· Domino’s: Pursuing A Push Strategy 
Domino’s pursues a medium push strategy in its channel marketing. The advertising 
layout for domino’s is minimal in India. Domino’s concentrates on incentivizing 
customers instead off advertising and promotion. As a result, domino’s regularly 
introduces sell-in schemes (promotional schemes for dealers), promotional coupon, 
festival offers etc. 
· Pizza Hut: Masters At Pull Strategy 
Pizza hut follows more or lesss the opposite strategy. Pizza hut has mastered the art of 
pull strategy. It pioneered the practice of advertising and promotion in the fast food 
industry. Pizza hut achieved this remarkable feat by adopting a different marketing 
~ 35 ~
strategy that involved increasing ambiences and amusement for the customers. 
Pricing Of Domino’s 
Indians are value-sensitive, not price-sensitive. The price was attributed to the high quality 
of ingredients used. For instance, Domino’s sourced its Peperoni and Jalapeno needs 
from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with competition increasing from Pizza 
Hut, Domino’s introduced price cuts, discounts and freebies to attract the customers. In 
1998, Domino’s introduced the Pizza Mania scheme where it offered a large pizza for 
Rs.129/-. The demand was overwhelming and the company sold close to 5000 pizzas in 
the first week of its launch. 
During late 1998, both Domino’s and Pizza Hut were trying to lure the customers with 
discount coupons by issuing such coupons through several schemes. However, both 
Domino’s and Pizza Hut were concentrating more on data base marketing and below-the-line 
activities and special offers. 
In India Domino’s is trying to attract the middle class and lower middle class people who 
are interested to spend their money on pizza but in low price. Those people are eager to 
go for a outing in any festival and as a cheap family restaurant Domino’s would be most 
preferable. They do not need high class ambiences or amusement in the shop so the 
establishment cost is low for the dealers and the price of pizza is very reasonable for the 
customer. Domino’s do not have any fixed customer though they are one of the main 
competitors of the Pizza hut. 
The Domino’s Pizza franchise constantly keeps on inventing ways through which it can 
make a greater impact on the fast food market. That is how the fast food franchise came 
~ 36 ~
up with 'Fun Meal for Four' offer. Through this method, the pizza franchise is able to 
produce more variety in the food delivered to its customers at their door steps. Through 
its 'Fun Meal for 4’ pack the Domino’s Pizza India offers four pizzas at the rate of Rs 
180. This means charge of one pizza will be just Rs 45. This has helped the speciality 
food franchise to enhance the strength of its customer base. Mainly offers are more 
attractive for the Domino’s , mainly student and middle class people are the main 
customer and they targeted that customers. 
Pricing Of Pizza Hut 
In the past, Pizza Hut has successfully used the high/low pricing strategy when setting the 
retail price of its products. The high/low retail pricing strategy allows Pizza Hut to charge 
a price that is above the competition, but also promote frequent sales to lower the price 
below them. The high/low pricing strategy has several advantages. First, this pricing 
strategy will help segment the market. Different groups of customers are willing to pay 
different prices for the same product. The high/low pricing strategy will also creates 
excitement. Customers will be able to try something new when they purchase. Finally, 
this strategy will emphasize product and service quality. Pizza Hut sets a high initial price 
for its products to send a signal to customers that its products are quality and the service is 
excellent. 
As there are no such competitors of Pizza Hut which could compete with the quality of 
pizza produced at Pizza Hut, therefore, the pricing strategy adopted by Pizza Hut is 
'market skimming'. Pizza Hut has adopted this pricing strategy as they want to hold 
~ 37 ~
maximum share of the market by maximum profit. This is a golden era for Pizza Hut, as 
there are no competitors and hence, Pizza Hut is free to charge any price they want. 
They are charging higher prices due to the uniqueness of the product. They satisfy the 
target market as the food quality is worth the price paid. The pricing strategy is not just to 
get the worth of quality but also to gain maximum profits before any competitor enters 
because then Pizza Hut will have to change its pricing strategy. 
Although the prices would be lowered with the new entrants in the market but not to a 
greater extent as the quality food products are not home-produced. They are imported 
from different countries keeping in view the best quality. 
First, this pricing strategy will help segment the market. Different groups of customers 
are willing to pay different prices for the same product. The high/low pricing strategy 
will also create excitement. 
In India Pizza hut is targeting the rich and higher middle class people with a great 
ambiences of enjoyment and amusement. They are offering an organized restaurant 
system and demanding the higher price for the pizzas. In the pizza hut different types of 
foods are available like appetizer, soup & salad, beverages, pasta etc. So for the varieties 
kind of food the pricing strategy is different in the pizza hut. Their customers are more or 
less fixed and they are price insensitive. 
Promotion 
Domino’s 
~ 38 ~
Promotion, which is known as marketing communication, is a major attribute for any 
product or service. In modern marketing it is more than developing a good accessible 
product or exact pricing.

leadership with its constant product innovation and maintenance of stringent service

Communication Objectives 
Category Need 
Domino’s master franchise model 
Industry analysts believed that Domino's master franchise model was one of the reasons 
for its success in international markets even in light of the global economic slowdown in 
2008. 
How domino's international bucked the trend 
~ 39 ~
The strong performance of Domino's international master franchises in the midst of the 
global economic slowdown was a widely debated topic among analysts. While some 
analysts believed that the recession had helped the growth of these chains due to the 
'trading down factor' of people preferring to eat at home rather than dine out at expensive 
restaurants, others believed it was a combination of aggressive marketing and the 
franchise model that had helped the company buck the trend. 
Brand Awareness 
Promotional and advertisement campaigns 
The pizza delivery business had traditionally been promotion driven. Coupons and 
discounts were offered by all pizza delivery chains to woo customers. Since its inception, 
Domino’s had been known for its unique promotions that included fast delivery and 
innovations to cater to a varied palette. 
The '30 minutes' promise 
In the year 1973, Domino's began a guarantee scheme that its pizzas would be delivered in 
30 minutes or less of ordering failing which the customer would receive the pizza free. 
Brand Attitude 
Use of technology 
Online sales accounted for over 70 percent of its total sales in 2008. Dominos planned to 
further exploit the increasing potential of the online medium as one of the promotional 
and distributional channels in the downturn. 
~ 40 ~
Brand Purchase Intention 
What makes domino’s pizza better than its competitors 
• Varity of Pizza’s 
• Services offered 
• Quality of pizza’s 
• Location of the Outlet 
• Waiting time in the outlet 
• Door step services 
• Low pricing 
Developing Effective Communication 
Target To Age Group/Class 
Domino’s target audience is a consumer who belongs to age group of 14 to 35 years from 
the Economic Class A or B and preferably one who has been exposed to the western 
culture as well as the western style of eating. They are people who are upwardly mobile 
and don’t mind to pay for convenience. In this category teenagers are the most affected 
by western culture and its eating habits. The age group has been restricted to the range of 
14 to 35 years as this age group accounts for about 70% of the total sales volume of 
pizzas in India. 
As far as the socio Economic class is concerned, since Domino’s pizzas are priced from 
about Rs.80 onwards. However, Domino’s have now come out with pizzas ranging from 
Rs.39 onwards to target the ever-increasing middle class consumers. 
~ 41 ~
• Discount coupons are being provided with every item purchased. 
• New schemes at regular interval of time according to the taste of the Indian customer. 
Creative Strategy 
Latest in domino’s 
Kwality wall’s ice-creams in dominos- For the first time dominos started offering ice 
creams .Selling ice cream in Domino’s is also a new sales Domino’s has also segmented 
the market geographically by deciding to initially cater to only the metropolitan cities and 
urban areas. They have left out the rural areas due to the low level of awareness regarding 
western dishes as well as typical Indian patter of eating. 
30 min campaign 
This is a campaign in which Domino's offers its customers free Pizzas if they are not 
delivered in 30 minutes from the time of order. 
They have a store in a radius of 3 kms in major metropolitan cities. Anything which is far 
away from 3 kms doesn’t fall in this category. 
Domino's latest special offer promises a hot and piping pizza delivered on door under 30 
minutes, or it's free. But 30 minutes is a very short time for a typical Dominos Pizza local 
delivery, but it's the latest special offer from Dominos in an effort to outdo the 
competition. Still, there are some cities where it must be really tough to make a Dominos 
Pizza local delivery, the cities where traffic congestion is a natural way of life.

Summary & Conclusions 
~ 65 ~
Conclusion 
Pizza Hut has many targets which it has achieve in a given period of time. The time-period 
is mostly a year. Therefore, in order to fulfill the targets different strategies are 
adopted by Pizza Hut. It can be concluded that these strategies have been successful and 
there is flexibility in the strategies, as they can be changed with the changes in the market 
conditions as well as the targets. Indians are value-sensitive, not price-sensitive. The price 
was attributed to the high quality of ingredients used. For instance, Domino’s sourced its 
Peperoni and Jalapeno needs from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with 
competition increasing from Pizza Hut, Domino’s introduced price cuts, discounts and 
freebies to attract the customers. In 1998, Domino’s introduced the Pizza Mania scheme 
where it offered a large pizza for Rs.129/-. The demand was overwhelming and the 
company sold close to 5000 pizzas in the first week of its launch. The objectives of 
promotion are to introduce a new product, stimulate demand, change the short-term 
behavior of the customers, and encourage repeat or greater usage by current customers. 
Pizza hut uses many promotional strategies. The main promotion is a coupon to purchase. 
This promotion is also distributed mainly by mail, but also by fliers on college campuses 
around the country in order to reach the target market. 
Suggestions 
~ 66 ~
Dominos 
• The dining conditions have to be changed drastically if Dominos have to target the 
premium segment of customers. 
• They are way behind Pizza Hut in the dining experience. Some of the Dominos 
restaurants lack even basic amenities 
• Due to this a condition can occur where customers judge the quality and taste of the 
pizza with respect to the restaurant environment and ambience 
• Thus to have a greater market share and tap premium segment of the market, 
Dominos can provide good quality restaurants 
• There should also be provision for music, TV’s, kids zone etc in the restaurant 
• By doing this they can even charge a little bit more on the food items 
Pizza Hut 
• Reduce the menu costs; it is way too expensive for a middle class Indian. 
• Middle class forms the maximum population of India and hence reducing the costs of 
pizza can increase the elasticity of demand greatly 
• Invariably there are no discounts, or discounts if offered are very less. Thus Pizza hut 
should offer more discounts to tap more customers 
• Their reach is very less as compared to Dominos (as they have only premium 
restaurants) which deprives far off customers from having Pizza Huts experience. Hence 
they should increase their presence. 
Limitation 
~ 67 ~
· The survey was conducted within the limited time frame; so few shortcoming may be 
expected. 
· The respondent’s personal bias may be another factor, which is uncontrollable. 
· The finding of the survey is strictly based on the responses of the respondents. it is 
difficult to find the euthenics be true, so we are assuming them to be true.

· A Samples size of fifty has been use due to time limitations. 
· The study does not represent classes of managerial professionals not interviewed, 
such as those from educational institutions, health-related industries, law 
enforcement, or global businesses.

In order to achieve these objectives different targets are set. Targets pass down the hierarchy depending on the nature of the business. Therefore, in order to achieve the objectives, management decides on different strategies. These strategies are divided into many sub-parts and are useful for the running of the business. The employees and the management know what they have to achieve through the targets which have been set to them and the strategies they have adopted help them know the way they will achieve the objectives. Similarly, Pizza Hut has different targets set to them and they have adopted different strategies to successfully achieve the targets set. These targets are set by the RSC i.e. the restaurant support centre in Karachi. These targets are passed on to the RGM (restaurant general manager) and he passes them to the workforce.

India’s fast food industry is growing by 40% .the multinational segment of Indian fast food industry is up to Rs. 20 billion, a figure which is expected to zoom more than Rs.30 billion by 2010. In last 6 years, foreign investment in this sector stood at rs.3600 million which is about one-fourth of total investment made in this sector. Because of the availability of raw material for fast food, global chains are flooding into the country. The percentage share held by foodservice of total consumer expenditure on food has increased from a very low base to stand at 2.6% in 2001. Eating at home remains very much ingrained in Indian culture and changes in eating habits are very slow moving with barriers to eating out entrenched in certain sectors of Indian society. The growth in nuclear families, particularly in urban India, exposure to global media and western cuisine and an increasing number of women joining the workforce have had an impact on eating out trends. Major players in fast food are: • McDonalds’ • KFC • Pizza hut • Dominos pizza • Café coffee day • Barista • Subway The main reason behind the success of the multinational chains is their expertise in product development, sourcing practices, quality standards, service levels and ~ 10 ~

Positioning Points Of Difference The major point of difference between pizza hut and dominos is that pizza hut concentrates on in-restaurant dining. The ambience and decor of all pizza hut outlets are good and the outlets are spacious. When customers think of party and decide to have pizza, pizza hut only comes into their mind. Pizza hut also arranges kitty parties, birthday parties and business meetings in their outlets. Pizza hut has customized birthday party invites with different themes for the customers to choose and use it as invitations. Dominos aims at fast home delivery of pizza. Whenever customers want to have pizza at home, they think of calling dominos and ordering for it because they are experts in home delivery of pizza. “we earn 60% of our revenue from home delivery of pizzas and 40% from the restaurant sales” , says mr.navamani, manager of dominos, coimbatore v.o.c. Park outlet. In case of pizza hut, the major revenue is from restaurant sales. Points Of Parity Category points of parity – the main food item that is sold in pizza hut and dominos is pizza. As we all know, pizza comes under the fast food category of foods, both the ~ 29 ~
  • 30. companies must be good in speed of making and service. Irrespective of the cost, both pizza hut and dominos has to deliver or serve pizza in less time as compared to other main course food items served in other restaurants. Competitive points of parity – competitive points of parity in case of pizza hut is that, even though pizza hut is costlier than dominos, they have their own customers, who do not bother about spending, but look for quality and personalized service. When we visit pizza hut, they have restaurant hostess who will assign us tables and introduce the steward who will be taking care of us. This is generally a procedure that is followed in five star category hotels and pizza hut is also following it to emphasize on service quality. In case of dominos, they are not costly as pizza hut and do not offer great ambience to customers, but offer good pizzas at nominal price. They concentrate on turnover of covers and cater to customers who don’t have time to spend on food and just stop over for refreshment. Moreover, dominos mainly looks into home delivery of pizzas and are experts in it. Product Pizza Hut The Customer Value Hierarchy From the above diagram we can see that pizza hut has enjoyment as a basic product but it provides food for it.

The value adds services refer to the overall dining experience, the service quality, ambience etc. Product Differentiation Worldwide and in India, pizza hut has come to become synonymous with the ‘best pizzas under one roof’. This is because at pizza hut the belief is that every pizza has its own magic, thus making it a destination product – which everyone seeks. It is this belief that has ignited the passion to create, innovate and serve the finest product the industry has to offer, while Setting standards for others to strive to replicate. Pizza hut is committed to providing uncompromising product quality, offering customers the highest value for money and giving service that is warm, friendly and personal. A critical factor in pizza hut’s success has been its unique dining experience. Crewmembers at pizza hut strive each day to provide ‘customer mania’ – the kind of service that ensures that every visit of the customer is a memorable one. Pizza Features Pizza hut has many unique features of their product due to which it attracts the customers. The product is classified into non durable goods as it is a food item pizza hut differentiates itself with its competitors with respect to their wide range of offerings (menu items) one can find besides pizzas range of, pastas appetizers, cakes, and desserts etc. · Mass Customisation ~ 31 ~
  • 32. The main advantage of pizza hut is that one can customise his own pizza by selecting the bread and loading it with the toppings which one can select. This creates variety in the customers mind and thus one can enjoy whatever pizza hut can offer. The most unique feature is that there is ‘pan 4 all’ scheme where one can select 4 different types of vegetarian /non- vegetarian combinations of pizza! This is a unique way of offering as there are many consumers who come in groups where someone in the group may want a non- vegetarian pizza can avail the offer. · Conformance Quality Pizza hut’s products have very high conformance quality i.e. All the products produced are identical and meet the promised specifications · Style Pizza is delivered in hot pans and served in style. The toppings in the pizzas are also dressed in a good fashion. Thus having ‘food in style’ defines pizza hut’s experience. Service Differentiation · Ordering Ease Once one enters the restaurant immediately the assistants initiates the ordering process by providing the menu. All associates are well trained in english and can take order from any customer. · Delivery ~ 32 ~
  • 33. Pizza hut’s style of delivering the pizza to the customer is quite an experience. The restaurant is aesthetically designed; all the staff members are uniquely dressed. Managers dressed in special uniforms. Also the tables, menu, are all placed in a good manner. This on itself is quite impressive. All orders placed in restaurant is served within 15-20 minutes and the take away orders (ordered on phone) is delivered within 30 minutes. Care also has been taken by the company to pack the pizzas in special covers so that it remains hot till the customer haves the food. Any pizzas delivered outside 30 minutes are given free. Also discount coupons are given to the customer in case one doesn’t want a free pizza. · Co- Branding Pizza hut has joined hands with visa for availing various offers. However this offer is only for the in dining i.e. One cannot avail the offers pertaining to visa for take away and home orders. A visa credit card holder can avail offers like family meal for a lower cost and select other combinations of items which would have not been possible otherwise. Thus visa and pizza hut assist each other for branding themselves. Packaging & Labelling The packaging of the pizza has been quite extraordinary in the sense that, it serves the basic purpose of ‘serving hot tasty pizza’. · In House Dining ~ 33 ~
  • 34. In house dining, the pizzas are not packed, instead they are served in hot pans, and plates are provided to the customers. The extra ingredients like oregano mix, chilli flakes etc. Are kept in a bottle having pores. Thus the customer can easily pour the ingredients into the pizza. · Take Away Orders They are put in a paper box neatly labelled with pizza hut brand logo. Also there is a plastic support given (it’s in the shape of a tripod) at the bottom of the pizza to prevent it from sticking at the bottom. A pizza hut logo is also given in the tripod. The extra ingredients like oregano mix, chilli flakes etc. Are given in a paper pouch which is also branded with the pizza hut logos. · Home Delivery Orders All the pizzas covered in paper boxes described above are packaged into a special delivery bags for retaining the heat. Thus we can observe that from every labelling, packaging the company tries to imbibe the brand of pizza hut in the minds of consumers.

Push And Pull Strategies In Channel Marketing: In a push strategy, the manufacturer uses his sales force, trade promotion, money or other means to induce intermediaries to carry promote and sell its products to end users. In a pull strategy, the manufacturer uses advertising, promotion and other forms of communication to persuade the customer to demand the product from intermediaries, thus inducing the intermediaries to order it. · Domino’s: Pursuing A Push Strategy Domino’s pursues a medium push strategy in its channel marketing. The advertising layout for domino’s is minimal in India. Domino’s concentrates on incentivizing customers instead off advertising and promotion. As a result, domino’s regularly introduces sell-in schemes (promotional schemes for dealers), promotional coupon, festival offers etc. · Pizza Hut: Masters At Pull Strategy Pizza hut follows more or lesss the opposite strategy. Pizza hut has mastered the art of pull strategy. It pioneered the practice of advertising and promotion in the fast food industry. Pizza hut achieved this remarkable feat by adopting a different marketing ~ 35 ~

The price was attributed to the high quality of ingredients used. For instance, Domino’s sourced its Peperoni and Jalapeno needs from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with competition increasing from Pizza Hut, Domino’s introduced price cuts, discounts and freebies to attract the customers. In 1998, Domino’s introduced the Pizza Mania scheme where it offered a large pizza for Rs.129/-. The demand was overwhelming and the company sold close to 5000 pizzas in the first week of its launch. During late 1998, both Domino’s and Pizza Hut were trying to lure the customers with discount coupons by issuing such coupons through several schemes. However, both Domino’s and Pizza Hut were concentrating more on data base marketing and below-the-line activities and special offers. In India Domino’s is trying to attract the middle class and lower middle class people who are interested to spend their money on pizza but in low price. Those people are eager to go for a outing in any festival and as a cheap family restaurant Domino’s would be most preferable. They do not need high class ambiences or amusement in the shop so the establishment cost is low for the dealers and the price of pizza is very reasonable for the customer. Domino’s do not have any fixed customer though they are one of the main competitors of the Pizza hut. The Domino’s Pizza franchise constantly keeps on inventing ways through which it can make a greater impact on the fast food market. That is how the fast food franchise came ~ 36 ~
  • 37. up with 'Fun Meal for Four' offer. Through this method, the pizza franchise is able to produce more variety in the food delivered to its customers at their door steps. Through its 'Fun Meal for 4’ pack the Domino’s Pizza India offers four pizzas at the rate of Rs 180. This means charge of one pizza will be just Rs 45. This has helped the speciality food franchise to enhance the strength of its customer base. Mainly offers are more attractive for the Domino’s , mainly student and middle class people are the main customer and they targeted that customers. Pricing Of Pizza Hut In the past, Pizza Hut has successfully used the high/low pricing strategy when setting the retail price of its products. The high/low retail pricing strategy allows Pizza Hut to charge a price that is above the competition, but also promote frequent sales to lower the price below them. The high/low pricing strategy has several advantages. First, this pricing strategy will help segment the market. Different groups of customers are willing to pay different prices for the same product. The high/low pricing strategy will also creates excitement. Customers will be able to try something new when they purchase. Finally, this strategy will emphasize product and service quality. Pizza Hut sets a high initial price for its products to send a signal to customers that its products are quality and the service is excellent. As there are no such competitors of Pizza Hut which could compete with the quality of pizza produced at Pizza Hut, therefore, the pricing strategy adopted by Pizza Hut is 'market skimming'. Pizza Hut has adopted this pricing strategy as they want to hold ~ 37 ~
  • 38. maximum share of the market by maximum profit. This is a golden era for Pizza Hut, as there are no competitors and hence, Pizza Hut is free to charge any price they want. They are charging higher prices due to the uniqueness of the product. They satisfy the target market as the food quality is worth the price paid. The pricing strategy is not just to get the worth of quality but also to gain maximum profits before any competitor enters because then Pizza Hut will have to change its pricing strategy. Although the prices would be lowered with the new entrants in the market but not to a greater extent as the quality food products are not home-produced. They are imported from different countries keeping in view the best quality. First, this pricing strategy will help segment the market. Different groups of customers are willing to pay different prices for the same product. The high/low pricing strategy will also create excitement. In India Pizza hut is targeting the rich and higher middle class people with a great ambiences of enjoyment and amusement. They are offering an organized restaurant system and demanding the higher price for the pizzas. In the pizza hut different types of foods are available like appetizer, soup & salad, beverages, pasta etc. So for the varieties kind of food the pricing strategy is different in the pizza hut. Their customers are more or less fixed and they are price insensitive. Promotion Domino’s ~ 38 ~

Communication Objectives Category Need Domino’s master franchise model Industry analysts believed that Domino's master franchise model was one of the reasons for its success in international markets even in light of the global economic slowdown in 2008. How domino's international bucked the trend ~ 39 ~
  • 40. The strong performance of Domino's international master franchises in the midst of the global economic slowdown was a widely debated topic among analysts. While some analysts believed that the recession had helped the growth of these chains due to the 'trading down factor' of people preferring to eat at home rather than dine out at expensive restaurants, others believed it was a combination of aggressive marketing and the franchise model that had helped the company buck the trend. Brand Awareness Promotional and advertisement campaigns The pizza delivery business had traditionally been promotion driven. Coupons and discounts were offered by all pizza delivery chains to woo customers. Since its inception, Domino’s had been known for its unique promotions that included fast delivery and innovations to cater to a varied palette. The '30 minutes' promise In the year 1973, Domino's began a guarantee scheme that its pizzas would be delivered in 30 minutes or less of ordering failing which the customer would receive the pizza free. Brand Attitude Use of technology Online sales accounted for over 70 percent of its total sales in 2008. Dominos planned to further exploit the increasing potential of the online medium as one of the promotional and distributional channels in the downturn. ~ 40 ~

Brand Purchase Intention What makes domino’s pizza better than its competitors • Varity of Pizza’s • Services offered • Quality of pizza’s • Location of the Outlet • Waiting time in the outlet • Door step services • Low pricing Developing Effective Communication Target To Age Group/Class Domino’s target audience is a consumer who belongs to age group of 14 to 35 years from the Economic Class A or B and preferably one who has been exposed to the western culture as well as the western style of eating. They are people who are upwardly mobile and don’t mind to pay for convenience. In this category teenagers are the most affected by western culture and its eating habits. The age group has been restricted to the range of 14 to 35 years as this age group accounts for about 70% of the total sales volume of pizzas in India. As far as the socio Economic class is concerned, since Domino’s pizzas are priced from about Rs.80 onwards. However, Domino’s have now come out with pizzas ranging from Rs.39 onwards to target the ever-increasing middle class consumers. ~ 41 ~

Creative Strategy Latest in domino’s Kwality wall’s ice-creams in dominos- For the first time dominos started offering ice creams .Selling ice cream in Domino’s is also a new sales Domino’s has also segmented the market geographically by deciding to initially cater to only the metropolitan cities and urban areas. They have left out the rural areas due to the low level of awareness regarding western dishes as well as typical Indian patter of eating. 30 min campaign This is a campaign in which Domino's offers its customers free Pizzas if they are not delivered in 30 minutes from the time of order. They have a store in a radius of 3 kms in major metropolitan cities. Anything which is far away from 3 kms doesn’t fall in this category. Domino's latest special offer promises a hot and piping pizza delivered on door under 30 minutes, or it's free. But 30 minutes is a very short time for a typical Dominos Pizza local delivery, but it's the latest special offer from Dominos in an effort to outdo the competition. Still, there are some cities where it must be really tough to make a Dominos Pizza local delivery, the cities where traffic congestion is a natural way of life.

  • 65. Chapter 4 Summary & Conclusions ~ 65 ~
  • 66. Conclusion Pizza Hut has many targets which it has achieve in a given period of time. The time-period is mostly a year. Therefore, in order to fulfill the targets different strategies are adopted by Pizza Hut. It can be concluded that these strategies have been successful and there is flexibility in the strategies, as they can be changed with the changes in the market conditions as well as the targets. Indians are value-sensitive, not price-sensitive. The price was attributed to the high quality of ingredients used. For instance, Domino’s sourced its Peperoni and Jalapeno needs from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with competition increasing from Pizza Hut, Domino’s introduced price cuts, discounts and freebies to attract the customers. In 1998, Domino’s introduced the Pizza Mania scheme where it offered a large pizza for Rs.129/-. The demand was overwhelming and the company sold close to 5000 pizzas in the first week of its launch. The objectives of promotion are to introduce a new product, stimulate demand, change the short-term behavior of the customers, and encourage repeat or greater usage by current customers. Pizza hut uses many promotional strategies. The main promotion is a coupon to purchase. This promotion is also distributed mainly by mail, but also by fliers on college campuses around the country in order to reach the target market. Suggestions ~ 66 ~
  • 67. Dominos • The dining conditions have to be changed drastically if Dominos have to target the premium segment of customers. • They are way behind Pizza Hut in the dining experience. Some of the Dominos restaurants lack even basic amenities • Due to this a condition can occur where customers judge the quality and taste of the pizza with respect to the restaurant environment and ambience • Thus to have a greater market share and tap premium segment of the market, Dominos can provide good quality restaurants • There should also be provision for music, TV’s, kids zone etc in the restaurant • By doing this they can even charge a little bit more on the food items Pizza Hut • Reduce the menu costs; it is way too expensive for a middle class Indian. • Middle class forms the maximum population of India and hence reducing the costs of pizza can increase the elasticity of demand greatly • Invariably there are no discounts, or discounts if offered are very less. Thus Pizza hut should offer more discounts to tap more customers • Their reach is very less as compared to Dominos (as they have only premium restaurants) which deprives far off customers from having Pizza Huts experience. Hence they should increase their presence. Limitation ~ 67 ~
