Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited (DPE) is the largest pizza chain in Australia in terms of network store numbers and network sales, as well as the largest franchisee for the Domino’s Pizza brand in the world.[3] DPE is the exclusive master franchise for the Domino’s brand network in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Principality of Monaco, Japan and Germany.[3] Across these markets, DPE has over 1900 stores.[3] In May 2005 DPE became the first publicly listed pizza company in Australia.[3]

In February 2017, The Sydney Morning Herald reported profitability problems with a number of franchises and that a number of Dominos stores in Australia had engaged in widespread underpayment of wages and deliberate underpayment of penalties.[4]

Early years

Australia

The first Domino’s store to open in Australia was in Springwood, Queensland, in 1983, and offered home delivery after home delivery was introduced into Australia by the Pizza Oven Family Restaurant in Holland Park Brisbane in 1981. The Australian and New Zealand Master Franchise was bought by Silvio’s Dial-a-Pizza in 1993 and in 1995 the two brands merged and rebranded as Domino’s Pizza.

New Zealand

Domino's New Zealand was the first to introduce drone-delivery pizza in November 2016, partnering with Flirtey Drone Delivery.[5]

Present day

Australia

Currently, there are around 600 Domino's stores in Australia, with the company planning to expand the number of stores by 3 each week over a 3 month period. The Australian stores are spread right across the country, from the main capital cities like Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney, to more rural areas like Armidale.
