Domino’s Pizza is hiring 3,000 delivery drivers as the pizza chain expands its delivery services and store network.

“We are hugely focused on delivery and the recent success of our 20 minute service guarantee means customers are reaping the benefits and stores right across Australia are seeing a surge in this area of the business,” said Domino’s Group CEO and managing director Don Meij.

Meij said when it’s safe for their staff to deliver the customer’s order in 20 minutes or less, “customers will be offered the 20 minute guarantee”.

With a delivery fleet made up of electric bikes (e-bikes), scooters, cars and robots, Meij said that the variety of delivery options available to customers offered new team members diversity in their roles.

“We have over 300 e-bikes in our stores alone so we are not just looking for drivers but for people who want to be active and put pedal power to the ultimate test. Delivery is such a significant part of our business and we are investing more and more in this space to make the experience even more convenient for our customers,” he said.

“We even have stores doing the unthinkable and introducing a world first in pizza delivery by offering customers a 10 minute delivery, made possible through cutting-edge technology and operation efficiency.”

Domino’s plan to roll out 40 new stores throughout Australia and New Zealand in the next six months.

“The next 10 stores we plan to open are in locations right across ANZ in Walkworth, NZ, Whyalla SA, Noranda WA, Casey ACT, Meadowbank NZ, Pyrmont NSW, Unanderra NSW, Ashburton NZ, Bundaberg East QLD and West Perth WA.

“We are excited about the growth and opportunities currently available and can’t wait to welcome our latest recruits who will be lighting up their GPS car toppers and pedalling pizza passion right across the Country,” Meij said.
