No bite in Domino online ordering

THE recent launch of Domino Pizza’s online ordering service has got off to a slow start says the company, which is planning to expand here.

Despite the rocky take-off in Ireland, the internet service is performing very well in Britain according to Domino’s first half pretax results which showed online sales increasing by 42.1% to £13.6m (€20m), up from £9.6m last year.

The company also said yesterday that to cater for increasing demand in Ireland it plans to expand the size of its food preparation facility at Naas, Co Kildare, where all pizza bases are prepared.
