Amounts in the text follow the notation commonly used in India, with \u20b91 crore = 10 million rupees, and yen figures are approximations calculated at a little over 1.7 yen to the rupee.

Jubilant FoodWorks is the master franchisee for Domino\u2019s Pizza in India and has the largest store network in Indian QSR. At the same time, it is letting go of Dunkin\u2019, which it also held, when the contract expires at the end of 2026. It shows where a company that holds several brands draws the line between what it keeps and what it shuts down.<\/p>\n

A company that has narrowed itself to pizza<\/h2>\n

In FY2026 (fiscal year ending March 2026) it opened 351 new stores over the full year, reaching 3,636 stores in six countries. Of those, Domino\u2019s Pizza in India accounts for 2,455. For January to March 2026, revenue was up 19% year on year at \u20b92,499 crore and net profit was \u20b982 crore.<\/p>\n

Domino\u2019s is strong in India because pizza is a product that is easy to adapt for vegetarians. Dough, sauce, and cheese are the base, and whether to add meat is only a matter of which topping goes on top. Compared with chains that carry products which have to use beef, the burden of reworking the menu was small.<\/p>\n

What the brand it shut down tells us<\/h2>\n

Dunkin\u2019 had shrunk to 27 stores as of December 2025, and in March 2026 the company announced that it would not renew the franchise agreement that expires on December 31, 2026. Because Domino\u2019s Pizza accounts for more than 90% of revenue, the company says the impact on results is limited.<\/p>\n

The combination of doughnuts and coffee did not mesh with breakfast habits in India. In urban India, chai and fried snacks are the standard in the morning, and it is hard to match either the price or the occasion when bringing sweet baked goods into that setting. The fact that more than ten years produced only 27 stores is a useful input when judging whether a foreign restaurant brand will work in India.<\/p>\n

That it has newly taken on COFFY, a coffee chain from Turkey, can also be read as trying a different way in with the same drink.<\/p>\n

Points for Japanese companies<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for a partner to open a restaurant franchise in India, an operator with several brands such as Jubilant is a candidate. Because it already has the kitchen, delivery, and staffing systems in place, the launch is fast. Its partner, however, allocates resources after comparing several brands. If the numbers do not come, the contract drops off the renewal list, as Dunkin\u2019 did.<\/p>\n

When a Japanese restaurant business partners in India, it needs to look first at where its own brand will rank within that partner.<\/p>\n
