Domino is a tile-based game of skill and chance played with gaming pieces. A domino is a rectangular tile, usually with one side marked with an arrangement of dots (also called pips or spots) and the other blank or identically patterned. In a typical set, each domino has a number of pips equal to its suit: the suits are spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs, with a zero (or blank) suit that is sometimes included as well.
The name “domino” is derived from the Latin domini, meaning “he who rules.” In modern times, the game is most often associated with a specific type of layout game, called a domino pattern or block game. These games are characterized by a domino that is arranged in a rectangle, with the edge of one domino touching the edge of another, creating a chain or “domino effect.”
Domino’s is an American multinational pizza restaurant and delivery service founded by Tom Monaghan in 1960. Its success has been fueled by a unique strategy of self-deprecating marketing, and its dedication to continual innovation.
Recently, Domino’s has focused on leveraging new technologies to improve its operations and services. This includes deploying autonomous delivery vehicles and launching a new delivery tracking app for customers. Domino’s has also developed a first-of-its-kind car, designed and built by the company to help their 100,000 delivery drivers stay comfortable and productive on the job.
The company’s recent investment in new technology and innovation has helped to reinvigorate its business. In fact, this year Domino’s experienced the fastest growth of any company in its industry. This was despite some shaky quarters in early 2019 that saw the company appear to falter against aggressive 3rd party delivery services.
While Domino’s currently holds the top spot in the food delivery app rankings, newcomer UberEats has quickly climbed the ranks to take the #2 spot. Nevertheless, Domino’s has maintained its lead in in-house delivery, and is focusing on continuing to innovate.
Domino’s is hiring a new chief technology officer to lead its restaurant technology, consumer-facing digital offerings, and information security efforts. The company is looking for someone with deep experience in the fast-food industry to join its leadership team.

Their leadership is confident that a focus on continual innovation will allow them to improve customer satisfaction, increase carryout and delivery sales, defend against 3rd party delivery services and continue to grow their business.
