Domino's Q3 order count slips amid softer quick-service market
UK-based master franchise Domino's Pizza Group Plc said total orders had slipped year-on-year during the three months ended 28 September as a result of a weaker quick-service restaurant market due to customers' lower discretionary income.
Domino's said total orders were down 1.5% in Q3, with collection up 1.7% and delivery down 3.4%, while total system sales were 2.1% higher year-on-year at £382.7m.
"The tough operating environment is likely to continue to impact order counts into 2026," noted Domino's.
However, Domino's stated it remains on track to deliver a full-year result in line with guidance, with FY25 underlying earnings to be in a range of £130m to £140m, while net debt at year-end was seen between £280m and £300m.
Chief executive Andrew Rennie said: "We have delivered a solid Q3 performance with positive sales and operational momentum despite the continued challenging consumer backdrop.
"We remain on track to achieve our full year profit expectations and I look forward to setting out our future plans at the Investor Day in December."
