The business, which owns the US chain’s master franchise in the UK and Ireland, told investors on Tuesday that it was “gaining traction” following a difficult start to the year, including reversing a negative trend in orders.
Despite cutting its full-year profit forecast, the firm, which has a profit-sharing agreement with its own franchise partners, reported “good momentum” in its operations.
Domino’s also announced that its average delivery time was reduced to 24 minutes between April and June, down one minute from the previous quarter.
Chief executive Andrew Rennie praised the “outstanding service improvement” and accused some of the chain’s competitors.
Domino’s announced an underlying core profit of £69 million in its half-year results on Tuesday, representing a 0.4% increase over the same period last year.
Total orders fell 0.9% to 35.1 million in the six months to the end of June, though the corporation claimed they had been picking up significantly since May and grew by 0.6% in the second quarter.
