Less than appetising: Domino’s Pizza cautions over international business

Domino’s Pizza has warned over losses in its international arm and said it remains in discussions with franchisees amid an escalating row. The pizza delivery company said it saw a “disappointing” performance in its international business, with “weak” system sales across all its overseas markets – down 2 per cent on a reported basis to £25.1 million overall in the division. It said it therefore no longer expects to break even in the international business over the full year. In the UK, it reported a 3.1 per cent rise in UK like-for-like sales for the 13 weeks to 31 March.
