Dominos India is sizzling hot — and it’s not just the pizzas. Jubilant FoodWorks, the master franchise for Domino’s in India, has reported a massive 64.44% jump in profits for Q1 of the fiscal year. With a rapidly growing store network and a strong digital push, the company is proving that its recipe for success is more than just extra cheese.
Let’s break down the numbers, strategies, and future plans that make this one of the most exciting growth stories in the fast-food industry today.
A Record-Breaking Quarter: Profits Skyrocket
Jubilant FoodWorks posted a profit of ₹91.76 crore, a huge leap from ₹55.80 crore in the same quarter last year. That’s not just growth — it’s business on fire.
Revenue from operations climbed 16.96% to ₹2,260.86 crore, while EBITDA stood at ₹438.00 crore with a healthy 19.4% margin, showcasing excellent operational efficiency.
These numbers prove the company is generating more sales while also keeping costs in check.
1. Menu Innovation That Keeps Customers Hooked
CEO & MD Sameer Khetarpal credits the growth to smart moves across three fronts — and the first is menu innovation.
By regularly introducing new and exciting menu items, Domino’s keeps customers curious and loyal. Fresh flavors and limited-time offers are keeping the brand fresh in a competitive food market.
2. Digital First: Owning the Customer Experience
The second growth driver? Digital dominance.
Jubilant FoodWorks is aggressively growing its own ordering platforms — the Domino’s app and website — reducing dependence on third-party delivery apps.
This means faster service, better customer data, and higher profit margins. With the rise in direct orders, the company is building long-term customer relationships.
3. Racing Towards 20-Minute Delivery
Fast delivery is the holy grail of food service, and Domino’s is on a mission to make 20-minute delivery a reality.
Not only does this improve customer satisfaction, but it also gives Domino’s a huge competitive edge in the quick-service market.
4. Expanding the Popeyes Brand in India
Beyond pizzas, Jubilant FoodWorks is betting big on Popeyes, aiming to make it the top chicken brand in India.
This diversification means more revenue streams and less reliance on a single brand.
Store Expansion: More Outlets, More Reach
In Q1 alone, the company added 71 new stores across its markets, taking the total to 3,387 outlets worldwide.
Breakdown of new stores:
India: 58 new stores (total 2,362)
Turkey: 12 new stores
Bangladesh: 1 new store
This aggressive expansion brings Domino’s closer to customers, especially in smaller cities where demand is booming.
Dominos India: The Powerhouse Market
India remains the crown jewel for Jubilant FoodWorks.
India segment revenue: ₹1,701.60 crore (+18.2% YoY)
Dominos India revenue: +17.7% YoY
LFL growth: 11.6% overall, 20.1% in delivery
The surge in delivery orders shows that convenience and speed are driving the food industry.
International Growth: Strong Performance Abroad
While India is the largest market, international operations are also delivering tasty results:
Turkey: Revenue up 12.4% to ₹518.80 crore; profit margin strong at ₹9.4 crore.
Sri Lanka: Revenue jumped 42.4% to ₹24.80 crore.
Bangladesh: Revenue grew 4.3% to ₹17.70 crore.
The company now has 1,025 stores outside India, solidifying its presence as a global fast-food player.
5. Strong Financial Discipline
One of the most impressive things about Jubilant FoodWorks is its focus on profit margins and cash flow.
Even with aggressive store openings and marketing spends, the company is keeping its finances healthy — a sign of a well-run business.
6. Leveraging Data for Smarter Decisions
The company’s investment in digital platforms isn’t just for ordering. Customer data helps them understand buying habits, plan menu updates, and personalize offers — a key advantage in today’s competitive market.
7. Clear Vision for Future Growth
From faster delivery to menu experiments and brand diversification, Jubilant FoodWorks has a clear growth blueprint.
The success of Q1 suggests that 2025 could be one of the company’s best years ever.
What Does This Mean for Investors and Customers?
For investors, the message is clear — Jubilant FoodWorks is delivering both growth and stability.
For customers, expect more menu surprises, faster deliveries, and maybe even new Popeyes locations in your city soon.
Final Thoughts
With a 64% profit jump, a growing store network, and strategic innovation, Jubilant FoodWorks has all the right ingredients for a blockbuster year.
The real question is — can they keep this momentum going? If Dominos India Q1 is anything to go by, the answer looks like a big, cheesy yes.
