Domino's Pizza sets its strategic sails with Uber Eats to expand delivery services, marking a notable shift in its approach towards third-party apps. Spurred by the increased pandemic-driven demand for delivery, this partnership is expected to fortify Domino's market presence and streamline delivery operations in the U.S. and across 27 international markets.
Under this agreement, uniformed Domino's drivers will continue to handle the deliveries ordered through Uber Eats. The collaboration will also provide Domino's with valuable data on delivery efficiency and incremental sales. Although the percentage of revenue shared with Uber Eats remains undisclosed, this collaboration is projected to strengthen Domino's market presence and streamline its delivery operations.
The pilot phase of this exciting venture will commence in four U.S. markets this fall, with the nationwide rollout expected by the end of 2023. Until at least 2024, Uber Eats will remain Domino's exclusive U.S. partner, solidifying this long-term collaboration.
The decision to embrace third-party delivery apps signifies a significant shift in Domino's strategy. While the company has historically emphasized retaining control over the delivery experience, the surge in demand and fierce competition compelled them to reconsider. Deliveries facilitated by Uber Eats, DoorDash, and other delivery services have accounted for 14% of U.S. pizza sales, totaling $4.7 billion, amidst the pandemic.
Responding to market trends, Domino's aims to reclaim its market share through this strategic partnership. Russell Weiner, the CEO since 2022, acknowledged the immense scale of third-party delivery operators and its potential benefits for Domino's growth. Consolidating its position in the market, Domino's is confident in meeting the increased demand generated by Uber Eats orders.
Despite facing challenges such as rising food costs, labor shortages, and intensified competition, Domino's remains optimistic. The company reported labor issues improving over the past year and is well-positioned to cater to the augmented demand from the collaboration with Uber Eats.
By embracing this transformative partnership, Domino's is poised to forge ahead in the highly competitive food delivery landscape.
