In your place, you will be responsible for all the various tasks related to store operations, such as pizza making, delivery, in-store cleaning, and wobble board dancing*, to run the store on a daily basis. (*): Wabble Board dance: This is a performance that Domino’s Pizza regularly performs to appeal to people passing by by waving boards with information about their services and recommended products. Some Domino’s Pizza executives have worked part-time in pizza making and delivery jobs at physical stores, gaining experience, honing their skills, and building up their careers. In addition, many of our executives regularly go to work sites to make pizza and other activities, and it is important that we never forget what it feels like to be in the field. The purpose of this project is to have executives take the lead in supporting store crews, and to promote understanding among store crews across the country that executives who can be on site at any time provide solid support to stores across the country. I’m here. This is the fifth time that the CEO Special Award has been held. In all of the events we have held so far, we have had many people from the media as well as customers who came to know about this project and come to the store, making it a very busy day that feels like a festival. The executives were motivated by this atmosphere, and we were able to receive high evaluations in terms of product evaluation regarding product quality and customer satisfaction regarding service. The Kariya Inabacho store that we are implementing this time is a store that has received high praise from customers. On the day of the event, we will continue to operate as usual without tarnishing our reputation.
