Jubilant Food to hire up to 4,000 workers for Domino's Pizza

Jubilant FoodWorks, which operates Domino's Pizza chain in India, today said it will hire up to 4,000 persons in the country by the end of this fiscal to support its expansion plan of adding 100 new outlets.

"We will be adding between 3,000 to 4,000 people during this financial year," Domino's Pizza India Vice President (Marketing) Harneet Singh Rajpal told PTI.

The company employs nearly 15,000 people across all its stores that are owned by the firm.

When asked about the expansion plan of the chain, he said: "We have already opened 24 outlets in the first quarter (of this fiscal) and are on track to taking it to 100 new stores in India during this fiscal."

As on August 30 this year, Domino's Pizza has a total of 500 outlets spread across 110 cities in India.

The company has earmarked a capex of Rs 150 crore for growth across verticals as part of its expansion plans.

"The capex for this fiscal is Rs 150 crore. This will be for opening new Domino's stores, for opening of Dunkin' Donuts stores, for our operations in Sri Lanka and for opening of commissaries for our stores," Rajpal said.

The company has also come up with a new tagline 'Yeh hai Rishton Ka Time' in order to reposition the Domino's Pizza brand in India.

"We feel that time spent over a pizza makes relationships stronger and warmer," he said.

Jubilant FoodWorks and its subsidiary operates Domino's Pizza brand with exclusive rights for India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
