    Fast food is one of the worlds largest growing food types. Indias 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

    Caf coffee day

    Barista

    Subway

    The main reason behind the success of the multinational chains is their expertise in

    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.

    pizza. As we all know, pizza comes under the fast food category of foods, both the

    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.

    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.

    customers, but offer good pizzas at nominal price. They concentrate on turnover of

    covers and cater to customers who dont 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.

    basic purpose of serving hot tasty pizza.

    In House Dining

    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.

    Dominos: Pursuing A Push Strategy

    Dominos pursues a medium push strategy in its channel marketing. The advertising

    layout for dominos is minimal in India. Dominos concentrates on incentivizing

    customers instead off advertising and promotion. As a result, dominos 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

    strategy that involved increasing ambiences and amusement for the customers.

    Pricing Of Dominos

    Indians are value-sensitive, not price-sensitive. The price was attributed to the high quality

    of ingredients used. For instance, Dominos sourced its Peperoni and Jalapeno needs

    from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with competition increasing from Pizza

  • 7/27/2019 Marketing Strategies of Pizza Hut and Dominos - Collegeprojects1.Blogspot.in

    34/72

    Hut, Dominos introduced price cuts, discounts and freebies to attract the customers. In

    1998, Dominos 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 Dominos and Pizza Hut were trying to lure the customers with

    discount coupons by issuing such coupons through several schemes. However, both

    Dominos and Pizza Hut were concentrating more on data base marketing and below-the-

    line activities and special offers.

    In India Dominos 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 Dominos 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. Dominos do not have any fixed customer though they are one of the main

    competitors of the Pizza hut.

    The Dominos 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

    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 Dominos 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

    35/72

    attractive for the Dominos , 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

    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.

  • 7/27/2019 Marketing Strategies of Pizza Hut and Dominos - Collegeprojects1.Blogspot.in

    36/72

    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.

    product or service. In modern marketing it is more than developing a good accessible

    product or exact pricing.

    Dominos 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.

    38/72

    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,

    Dominos 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.

    pizzas in India.

    Summary & Conclusions

    66/72

    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, Dominos sourced its

    Peperoni and Jalapeno needs from Australia and Spain respectively. However, with

    competition increasing from Pizza Hut, Dominos introduced price cuts, discounts and

    freebies to attract the customers. In 1998, Dominos 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

    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, TVs, 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

  • 7/27/2019 Marketing Strategies of Pizza Hut and Dominos - Collegeprojects1.Blogspot.in

    68/72

    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

    The survey was conducted within the limited time frame; so few shortcoming may be

    expected.

    The respondents 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.

    Chances of some biasness could not be eliminated.

    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.
