The most notable was a would-be oil tycoon, who convinced Monaghan to give him his entire savings several thousand dollars to drill an oil well What's more, Monaghan built up those savings in the Marines, which he says he was duped into joining. He thought he was joining the Army, and only found out it was the Marines after taking aptitude tests. Throughout his book, Monaghan discusses his lifelong interest I say obsession with the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
For instance, on page 7 he casually drops FLW's name in this odd paragraph:. I see no contradiction between, on the one hand, sitting down at home to a simple meal that my wife spoons out of the pots it was cooked in and, on the other, insisting that meals in the executive dining room at Domino's headquarters be of five-star quality, impeccably served, with white linen tablecloths, fine china designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, silverware, and crystal glasses.
He wrote extensively about his desire to build a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed tower as the centerpiece of a new headquarters for Domino's Pizza. On the grounds, he wrote that his collection of classic cars would be on display, along with peacocks, pygmy goats, Shire horses, miniature horses, Chianina cattle, and a museum of steam-powered farm equipment.
Unfortunately, the tower was never built , though Monaghan got much of the rest done and check out that Duesenberg! Truly a self-made man, Monaghan and his brother Jim ended up in a Roman Catholic orphanage shortly after their father died and their mother couldn't handle raising the kids alone.
It was a formative experience, and Monaghan is a devout Catholic to this day. Monaghan founded Ave Maria University in , located in Michigan. In , he moved the university to southwest Florida, at an extremely inconvenient time for the real estate market translation: it was costly.
He also planned a community surrounding the Roman Catholic university that would be free of pre-marital sex, contraceptives, and pornography. Judging from the photo, it was awesome. Initially, Domino's did not offer its famous promise to deliver your pizza within 30 minutes of ordering, or it was free.
This idea only came about after years of Monaghan tweaking his business practices—shaving seconds off of the time needed to make each pizza, streamlining the product line to reduce the number of ingredients and variables , designing a new corrugated pizza box to keep the pizzas hot and protected during delivery, and all sorts of other crucial innovations. For the majority of their existence, Domino's offered only two sizes of pizza, 11 toppings, and one soft drink, cola. They also only offered pizza on a delivery or carry-out basis.
They believed the simplicity of their menu resulted in higher-quality products and more efficient business.
The original Domino's building was too small for sit-down dining. Instead, Tom Monaghan hired local laid-off factory workers to deliver pizzas around town. By , Tom Monaghan owned three Domino's locations in Michigan, each represented in Domino's symbol. He originally planned to place a new dot for each new store. According to a Food Beast article , Domino's introduced their first vegan pizza in Israel.
Instead of dairy cheese, the pizza comes topped with soy cheese and veggies. Although the chain said they just wanted to keep pizza deliveries running smoothly, many perceived the stunt as oddly dystopian.
In , Domino's partnered with startup Flirtey to design the first pizza-delivery drone. The machine debuted in New Zealand. The logo of the pizzeria originally had three dots which represented the three original stores in and Tom wanted to add a new dot every time he adds a new store but his idea faded as his business quickly expanded.
In the s, the pizzeria introduced its first non-pizza item to their menu by including breadsticks and chicken wings.
