Iwona Olbryś, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:

“2019 delivered continued expansion and growth in System Sales during the year, notwithstanding the strong comparatives driven by our TV advertising in January and February 2018.

The Coronavirus crisis presents our industry – and business in general in Poland and around the world – with some major obstacles. Nevertheless, I believe that the Domino’s brand, and its reputation for quality of product and service, put us in a good position. While dine-in restaurants in Poland are permitted to reopen this week, we continue to deliver to our customers delicious, hot pizzas, typically within 25 minutes from order. Our focus on delivery/collection and online ordering positions DP Poland well in the current environment. However, with so much uncertainty prevailing, at the present time we can give no guidance on the outlook for DP Poland in the current financial year.

Our customers order their pizzas increasingly on our digital platforms, and pay for their orders on that platform too. In Poland we believe we are ‘best in class’ on this front.

In light of the Coronavirus concerns, we now offer contact free delivery and contact free carry out. We continue to create new initiatives and seek to adapt to the ‘new world’. Meanwhile, one consequence of the crisis has been to bring about some reduction in our food and labour costs.

Whilst the macro outlook remains uncertain, in this new world I believe that DP Poland holds an important position in the Polish F&B industry and good prospects.”
