Their slogan is, “Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Papa John’s.” Internationally, there are over 4,000 Papa John’s establishments including 2,600 in the U.S. and the remainder spread among 32 other countries. Papa John’s restaurant was established in 1984 by John Schnatter and is a publically traded company, with 30% of its shares owned by John Schnatter.

(Laudon C Kenneth, 2012) Domino’s Strategy to Improve Customer Service Domino's, is the recognized world leader in pizza delivery operating a network of company-owned and franchise-owned stores in the United States and international markets. “Domino's started out small – with just one store in 1960.

Today, there are over 11,000 stores – including more than 5,000 outside the United States.” (Domino’s) Unfortunately, Domino’s was previously agreed by Americans that their home delivery pizzas were among the worst, and they had to do something about it.
The outsourcing strategy allows Super Bakery to minimize on liabilities and expenses such as real estate for storage, manpower, and other related expenses giving Super Bakery to take on more of a business management role rather than being tied in to all of the business functions. ABC System Super Bakery found the necessity to deploy an Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system because of the challenge of controlling the costs of the outsourced activities. Even though the corporation has been growing at an “annual rate of 20%” ABC Bakery management wanted to analyze further into how they could further control costs and increase profitability. What management found was that despite varying profit margins on the orders, it appeared that the cost of each order was the same because the higher profit margins were making up the lower profit margined orders. This made it difficult for Super Bakery to determine from a high level what products may need price

Case 7 Ryan McVay/Getty Images Domino’s Pizza: A Case Study in Organizational Evolution John Bradley, Eric Friedman, Eric Jeanes, Edward Novotny, Kelly Schuler Arizona State University Tina Borja Rice University Introduction Historically, Domino’s Pizza has been a strong player in both the domestic US and international out-ofhome pizza marketplaces. With more than 9,300 locations in 65 countries, Domino’s is the number two pizza restaurant behind Pizza Hut and number one in the pizza delivery segment with market share numbers approaching 20 percent.1 (See Exhibit 1 for a ranking of the top 50 pizzeria brands in 2009 by sales.)

In fact, the news reaching the executive suite indicated that Domino’s was suffering from a negative reputation in the marketplace.
