Domino's was the largest pizza company in the world, operating across more than 90 markets under a single principle "One Brand, One System"; and built around 3 service models: delivery, carryout, and dine-in.
In Vietnam, VFBS held the master franchise for Domino's Pizza, alongside Burger King and Popeyes, under IPPG, one of the country's largest retail conglomerates.
By 2020, VFBS generated roughly US$28M in annual revenue across all three brands (at 2020 exchange rates), running its Domino's chain through a single shared system. (Source: Vietdata ↗)
At that scale, and with a global brand standard to hold, the website revamp became a strategic priority.
Rebuild Domino's website into a genuine sales channel, one that would reduce dependence on the third-party delivery apps capturing most of the online revenue.
The business had grown up around offline operations, and as online orders rose, they rose on platforms VFBS neither owned nor controlled.
A website built to sell would give the business a channel of its own, able to grow on its own terms. Domino's moved first; if it worked, Burger King and Popeyes would follow.
1. On the business side, the website had become a strategic hedge tied directly to monthly revenue and profit. VFBS's C-level stakeholders would review and sign off on the revamp as a business decision, which meant approval could not be delegated. That placed real pressure on me as the UX manager.
2. On the product side, IPPG operated at a scale Oracle described as a "complex business structure" when the group went live on Oracle ERP Cloud in 2019. (Source: Oracle ↗)
Order processing for all 40+ Domino's stores moved through one shared system across the group. Every UX decision touching the order and payment flow had to work without disrupting that downstream system.
