Imagine if you were there, taking notes, as a small pizza joint became one of the most successful restaurants in the world. The Domino’s Story will help you understand and adopt the competitive strategies, workplace culture, and business practices that made the iconic pizza chain the innovative restaurant and e-commerce leader it is today. As one of the most technologically advanced fast-food chains in the market, Domino's has cemented their reputation for innovation, paved in industry-leading profits. In February 2018, according to Ad Age, Domino's unseated Pizza Hut to become the largest pizza seller worldwide in terms of sales.

Through the story of the Domino's, you’ll learn: How to create meaningful innovation without changing the core of the product that people already love. How to recognize and take advantage of unique opportunities to alleviate your customers’ pain points. How to grow a company by taking a holistic approach to the business. And, the importance of delivering a quality experience that will keep customers calling for more.

A Call To Deliver is the story of how the Lord is in the delivery business and how, in his desire to get all souls to heaven, he would use something as common as pizza to accomplish this plan. Tom Monaghan the founder of Domino's Pizza (Dominus in Latin means Lord) lost his father at the age of 4 and was raised in an orphanage until the age of 12. After that he was bounced from one foster home to another but the one constant in his life was his faith. Always wanting to go to college Tom inadvertently entered into the pizza business to defray costs but after being forced to stay in the business and give up any dreams of college he decided to make it a success. As he went from rags to riches he began to acquire many worldly pleasures and face "the sin of pride". This brought him back to a desire to use his wealth for God. He felt he could support many good causes but he learned from the pizza business to stay focused on the one product that could do the most good. For Tom Monaghan that would be higher education which lead him to founding Ave Maria University. A Call To Deliver is a glimpse of the faithfulness of God in each individual life and how important we are His greater plan for the world. This book is not just about a man but about how God uses simple substances to create His greatest miracles.
