them are Sbarro, The Burger King, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway, etc.
are some of them to name. At present all these players are fighting for a
small pie, as fast food is really not a big habit with Indians, but they see a
big potential. The players are fighting on products, pricing, positioning and
trying to convert their first trials into regular purchase by providing
delightful service quality. The focus is on product quality and
standardization on taste. Consistency is the key, as its standardization in fast
food as the consumer is short on time and wants to satisfy his taste buds with
a consistent taste experience. Beyond this each player has its own strategy to
expand consumer base. Some feel that pricing is not the deciding factor
since fast food is not price sensitive market because it is not a single diet of
Indians. Some others are competing on positioning which is surprisingly
varied, giving the small size of the market. For most, targeting children
seems the right strategy. Advertising is popular. However, with competition
hooting up most chains is increasing reach as well as Working on
establishing a national presence. Trends in the fast food industry.The
industry is estimated to grow at 9-12 per cent, on the basis of an estimated
GDP growth rate of 6-8 per cent, during the Tenth Five year plan period.
Value addition of food is expected to increase from the current 8 per cent to
35 per cent by the end of 2025.Fruit and vegetable processing, which is
currently around 2 per cent of total production will increase to 10 per cent by
2020 and to 25 per cent by 2025.The popularity of food and agro products is
not surprising when the sector is now offering a growth of more than 150 per
cent in sales. While US brands such as McDonald’s, Pizza hut and Kentucky
Fried Chicken have become household names, more are on their way.

Domino Pizza has established 57 years ago and has its headquarters in
Domino farm located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This store was founded by
two brothers, James and Tom Monaghan after buying a then famous pizza
store known as Dominick’s. It was later rebranded to Domino’s remained a
privet owned company until in 2004 when it went public and started trading
on the New York stock exchange. It majorly specializes in pizza delivery
and take-out making it one of the highly ranked pizza restaurants worldwide.
It has expanded its service, and it is estimated that it currently receives
approximately 21 million customers every month. Some of the top
competitors it faces in this industry include the following.
14
1) Pizza Hut
15
2) McDonald’s
McDonald was founded in 1940 by two brothers after opening their first
barbeque food outlet in California, US. A quick transformation that took
place in about eight years changed the entire set up since a production
system was introduced that was able to roll out burgers in fast service style
similar to what we are currently aware of. Since then, McDonald’s has
become a household name in most of the cities across the world.Its locations
have expanded with a total estimated operating income of about $7.8 billion
per annum. In the US alone, McDonald’s covers a market share of about
18% of the fast food industry making it a considerable force in the market.
Because of its huge distribution and popularity, McDonald’s is the second
largest Domino’s Pizza Competitors. It can be said to be an indirect
competitor because it does not make Pizzas. However, it is a direct
competitor when comparing the fast food industry.
16

6) Burger King
Burger king is an American-based fast service food outlet chain that operates
fast food joints worldwide. It became a privately-owned company in 2010
after it was purchased by 3G Capital, an investment firm. Burger King has
also risen to become one of the most renowned quick-service brands in the
world. It is estimated that it serves more than 50 million customers every
month, a clear indication of the reputation it has and the reasons why its
continuous expansion in different countries is inevitable. But it should also
be noted that Burger King experienced an annual reduction in revenue from
2009 to 2014 but started to resurge partly in 2015 and 2016.
Like McDonalds, Burger King has huge plans on expansion and its burgers
are loved by people. Hence Burger king is one of the fastest rising Domino’s
Pizza Competitors.

is that Taco Bell is headquartered in California whereas Chipotle is
headquartered in Denver, Colorado. It was founded by Steve Ells in 1993
and has continued to carve its niche in this particular industry to become one
of the highly regarded fast food joints. What sets Chipotle aside from its

has expanded to widely to different locations in different parts of the world,
including US and UK. It merged with Burger King but operates its services
as an independent entity. It has excellent future prospects in this industry
given that it a valuable brand in the market.

12) Papa John’s Pizza
Papa John’s Pizza is currently among the top Domino’s competitors in the
market. It deals with delivering of pizza to various clients by the orders
made as well as take-out. It is a massive American franchise that has spread
its outlets in different cities within and outside the USA. It is gradually

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Sepannen, et. al. (2004), examined that consumers always expect for a
product or service of better quality, which is easy to use or consume and of
lower costs than ever before. By improving operations, a business or an
organization can improve internal efficiency, effectiveness, adaptability and
customer service.
Evelyn, Elis ante& Reuben (2009), found that the speed of service delivery,
responsiveness and curtsy of company’s staff are most responsible factors
for customer satisfaction.
27
was to propose a framework of the major dimensions that have an impact on
the perceived quality of services provided by Delhi Metro Trains and their
overall satisfaction, they found that all aspects need to be given attention to,
depending on the importance attach to them by customers and customers
were satisfied with the services provided by the Delhi Metro Trains.
Kaushik and Gupta (2009) found that new entrants can deliver the best
quality at competitive price to have market share in herbal, simultaneously
Campaigns and event management in colleges by cosmetic companies help
them to increase sale, because consumers are 15-20 and 20- 25 age group
belongs to school and colleges. Consumers are ready to move towards herbal
products. So any company can easily get them by having perfect marketing
mix, balance price and quality.
Yesodha Devi N &, Kanchana V.S. (2009), examined that Quality & Taste
are the two major factors to select a restaurant. Customers are more
discerning and demanding and they always wants to experiment with the
money they spend, they also found that the Indian restaurant industry has
come of age by diversifying its services and is trying to cater to the Indian
taste buds and is staying in competitive arena amongst international giants
and is able to provide better services to the customers. Customer satisfaction,
a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. As
far as satisfaction of customers is concerned, firms generally ask customers
whether their product or service has met or exceeded expectations. Therefore
we can say, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. Brand loyalty
also played an important role in customer satisfaction, when consumers
become committed to your brand and make repeat purchases over time.
28
Brand loyalty is a result of consumer behaviour and is affected by a person’s
preferences. Loyal customers will consistently purchase products from their
preferred brands, regardless of convenience or price. Some of the factors
which influence to brand loyalty of customers are Customers perceived
value, brand trust; customer’s satisfaction, repeat purchase behaviour, and
commitment are found to be the key influencing factors of brand loyalty.
The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the liking and
satisfaction of customers towards Dominos’ Pizza. A questionnaire survey
was prepared and distributed to various age groups of customers who visit
Domino’s Pizza. We found that all the five factors showed liking and
satisfaction level in favour of Domino’s Pizza. Customer Satisfaction,
Liking, Brand Loyalty and Dominos Pizza and Customer Satisfaction
towards Domino’s.

LIMITATION OF STUDY
Since the road to improvement is never ending, so this study also suffers
from certain limitations. Some of them are as follows:
Scope of project is limited in the sense that only Dominos has been taken for
consumer research. The extent of the survey was local public. So the
suggestions or arguments given in the report may not hold true for other
locations in India. Questionnaire method involves some uncertainty of
response. Co-operation on the part of informants, in some cases, was
difficult to resume.
