Domino’s on July 28, 2018, ran a mobile campaign that let Snapchat users in the US order food directly inside the image-messaging app.

As per Adweek, Snapchat’s “shoppable AR” which mixes social commerce with augmented reality features, gave Domino’s customers the opportunity to request a pizza after interacting with a branded lens.

The AR lens worked with both the front and back cameras of a smartphone. Those who took a selfie saw their faces decorated with a virtual pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses that had a reflection of a pizza in the lenses.

Flipping the camera around showed a virtual Domino’s pizza box that opened to show a pepperoni pizza inside. From there, people could tap an on-screen button to request a delivery without ever leaving the app.

Domino’s has been testing Augmented Reality based solutions since 2014. The brand first activated a print ad campaign with AR exclusive offers in a limited test. It also experimented with Japan’s virtual pop star, Hatsune Miku, which attracted more than one million views.

The pizza brand has been trying to incorporate high-end tech solutions like trial runs of drone delivery of pizzas in New Zealand.

Pizza chain Domino’s has got caught in the crosshairs of anti-profiteering authorities for not passing on a cut in goods and services tax to consumers. Anti-profiteering provisions make it compulsory for companies to pass on any benefits from a lower GST rate to consumers.

The Directorate General of Anti-Profiteering found that Domino’s had not reduced the prices of all its food products after the GST Council cut the tax rate on restaurants last November, and instead passed on the benefit selectively.

“An investigation report has been issued,” said a government official privy to the development. In India, Jubilant FoodWorks operates Domino’s restaurants under a franchise deal with American chain Domino's Pizza Inc.

AJubilant spokesperson said the company believes it passed on the benefits. “The company has received a copy of the investigation report submitted by the Director General Anti-Profiteering (DG) to the National Anti-Profiteering Authority (NAA). However, JFL believes it has passed on the benefit on account of reduction of GST rates to the customers and accordingly will represent its case before NAA,” the spokesperson said in an email response to ET’s questions.

The GST Council in its November 15, 2017 meeting slashed tax rate for restaurants to 5% from 18%. An investigation by the Directorate General of Anti-profiteering, previously called the Directorate General of Safeguards, found that the chain did not pass tax benefits to all consumers.

The government had created the anti-profiteering framework to shield consumers from any runaway price rise post rollout of GST from July 1 last year. Under the provisions, all complaints at the national level are examined by a standing committee and at the state level by state screening committees consisting of officials.

If a complaint is found to have merit, it is sent to the DG anti-profiteering for an investigation to be completed in three months. The DG then sends the report to National Anti-Profiteering Authority, which issues the order. The DG's investigation report is key to the decision by the authority and an adverse report would impact a company. However, there are no guidelines for businesses on anti-profiteering and it has been left to their wisdom to pass on tax benefit in the manner they deem right.

Boosted by higher royalty and supply chain revenue from its franchisees, Domino's Pizza Inc reported a 28.3 percent rise in quarterly profit, sending its shares up 4.4 percent in premarket trading.

Net income rose to $93.3 million, or $2.09 per share, in the fourth-quarter ended Dec. 31, from $72.7 million, or $1.48 per share, a year earlier.

Domino's largely benefits from the high-margin royalty fee it charges its franchise stores and the revenue it gets from ingredients and the equipment it supplies them.

Same-store sales at its company-owned outlets in the United States rose 3.8 percent and 4.2 percent at its franchise stores, but both figures missed analysts' expectations.

Bhartia, chairman, and Hari S. Bhartia, co-chairman of Jubilant FoodWorks.

"The lowering in the rate of applicable GST to 5% has allowed us to demonstrate our commitment to deliver the best value proposition as we passed on the benefits of the lower tax rate to the customers. We believe this to be a positive change, one that will impact the restaurant industry favourably," they said further.

According to the company, the same store sales growth in the third quarter of the financial year 2017-18 grew to 17.8 percent as against 3.3 percent it reported during the last financial year.

“We are pleased to report a strong set of results for Q3FY18.

A green body alleged that fast food majors in India were adopting "double standards" by committing themselves to eliminating misuse of antibiotics in meat supply chains in a time-bound manner in the West but not in India.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) released an assessment report based on data in public domain and response obtained from several multinational companies and three Indian firms selling fast food in the country.

Deputy Director General of the CSE, Chandra Bhushan said “Our study shows that these fast food MNCs do not have any India-specific commitments to eliminate misuse of antibiotics in their meat supply chains. Surprisingly, these global giants have made ambitious, specific and time-bound commitments in the US and other countries to eliminate antibiotic misuse owing to growing pressure from regulators and other stakeholders. This is sheer "double standards".

Jubilant Foodworks, a domestic franchise for the US-based popular chain Domino's Pizza, said "We follow global standards and processes, and ensure that the highest standards of quality and food safety and hygiene are maintained across our supply chain. It has a formal policy in place on usage of antibiotics in poultry birds' health management to guide their sourcing of poultry.  We have always had a set of standards followed while sourcing poultry for our products, ensuring that our suppliers follow the right farm practices”.

KFC said in a statement “it adheres to all laws and regulations regarding the use of antibiotics. Furthermore, as part of our strict adherence to robust safety practices and processes, chicken supplied to KFC India is free from any antibiotic residue, as our chicken supplies are subjected to a withdrawal period specific to each medicinal treatment”.

Head, Food Safety and Toxins programme at CSE, Amit Khurana said "Fast food is not good for health and on top of that if the meat is sourced from an animal injected with antibiotics for growth promotion (non-therapeutic use), then it's a double whammy for the consumer. A person may or may not get affected after consuming such food. While some others shared their practices of sourcing and testing, they did not specify any timelines by which they planned to eliminate antibiotic misuse”.

The Biggest U.S Pizza delivery chain Domino’s Pizza Inc reported much better quarterly profit than expected as the company getting benefit by the higher demand in united state of America.
