Full breakdown of startup costs, royalty fees, and what it really costs to open a Domino's.
Domino's is the world's largest pizza company by global retail sales, with over 19,000 locations in 90+ countries. Founded in 1960, Domino's pioneered the delivery-focused pizza model and has become a technology leader in the restaurant industry, with digital orders representing over 80% of US sales. The brand's stock (DPZ) is often cited as one of the best-performing restaurant stocks of the past decade.
Domino's has a low initial investment relative to other major QSR brands thanks to its delivery/carry-out focused model — no dining room required.

Domino's has an extremely high franchisee satisfaction rate and is known for its transparent franchise economics.
