Domino’s Pizza, the international pizza delivery giant, announced it is closing 205 of its restaurants worldwide, with 172 of them in Japan. The reason for the closures, according to the company, is a strategic shift in its approach to growth and profitability. Domino’s Pizza Japan currently operates 1,000 shops across Japan. Many of the restaurants to be closed were established during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in demand for delivery meals post-pandemic, has been compounded by increased operating costs, including rising prices for ingredients, labor, and energy.
There is a Domino’s Pizza that I pass by on my walk to the grocery store that has been there since before I moved here. It doesn’t look like it will be closing. I’ve only bought pizza there once, but the delivery scooters and bicycles seem to be on the move all the time.
Have delivery or take out restaurants near you been closing since the end of the pandemic?
I don't know. I have noticed, however, that there are fewer Uber Eats bike deliveries now than during the pandemic. I guess more and more people are returning to eating in restaurants rather than having a meal delivered to their homes. Many years ago we sometimes ordered Domino pizzas because we were too busy to cook. Hunger is the best spice and we happily ate the pizzas. Then a year ago we ordered a pizza again and we found it so heavy, salty and oily we swore never to order another one. Homecooking is the best!
