The sector’s pick-up and delivery model has flourished during the lockdowns and restrictions of Covid-19. The proof is evident at brands like Donatos which just announced it was hiring an additional 1,000 employees to meet growing demand. In a statement the brand said it was looking for employees across its system at both franchise and company locations. “While there have been many challenges during this time, our customers have been amazing with the way that they have supported our business,” said Tom Krouse, CEO and President of Donatos. “Our loyal customer base keeps coming back and we are gaining new customers every day.” Donatos has seen more than 1.5 million new customers place at least one order since March 10 and more than 100,000 new members have joined the Donatos Pizza Love Rewards loyalty program during that span. The brand has also opened eight new restaurants during the pandemic, with two more new locations slated to open by the end of the year. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
