2. outlets.However,keepinginline withitsworldwide policywherePizzaHutwasgraduallymakingashift
fromcompany-ownedrestaurantstofranchisee ownedrestaurants,PizzaHutmade the shiftinIndia
too.PizzaHut had four company-ownedfranchisees - Universal RestaurantsPvt.Ltd.(Delhi,Uttar
PradeshandRajasthan), SpecialtyRestaurantsPvt.Ltd.(Punjab),DolselCorporation(Gujarat,Karnataka
and AndhraPradesh),PizzeriaFastFoodPvt.Ltd.(Pune andTamilnadu) andWybridge Holdings
(Mumbai).
WhenDomino'senteredthe Indianmarket,the conceptof home deliverywasstill initsnascentstages.
It existedonlyinsome majorcitiesandwasrestrictedtodeliverybythe friendlyneighborhoodfastfood
outlets.Eatingoutat 'branded'restaurantswasmore prevalent.Topenetratethe Indianmarket,
Domino'sintroduced anintegratedhome deliverysystemfromanetworkof companyoutletswithin30
minutesof the orderbeingplaced.However,Domino'swasnotthe trendsettersofaras home delivery
was concerned.Delhi basedfastfoodchain,Nirula'swasthe firsttostart free home deliveryin1994.
But where Domino'sstole the marketwasitsefficientdeliveryrecord.GouthamAdvani (Advani),Chief
of Marketing,Domino'sPizzaIndia,said,"Whatreallyworkeditswayintothe Indianmindsetwasthe
promisedthirtyminute delivery."Domino'salsoofferedcompensation:Rs.30/- off the price tag,if there

not time-bound.
Since itsentryintoIndia,Domino'sintroducedninenew toppingsforPizzastocaterto the local tastes.
Differentflavorswere introducedindifferentpartsof India.Advani said,"The Indianpalateisvery
definitive- people are extremelyfinickyandchoosy,nottoowillingtoexperiment.Foodtastesvary
fromregionto region.Tocapture the market,we hadto localize flavors."Thus,DeluxeChickenwith
Mustard Sauce' andSardineswere confinedtothe East, MuttonGhongura and ChickenChettinadtothe
Southand ChickenPudinatoMumbai.Butterchicken,Makhani Paneerandthe ChatpataChana Masala
were confinedtothe North.Verysoon,PizzaHutfollowedDomino'sandofferedcustomizedSpicy
