The Secret to a Smooth Stuffed Crust Rollout

Domino’s Stuffed Crust Pizza is finally here, and the excitement is real. Customers are eager to try it, marketing is creating buzz, and stores are gearing up for a surge in orders.

But behind the scenes, franchisees are facing a different challenge: making sure every team member is trained, confident, and delivering a great customer experience—without unnecessary stress.

A high-profile launch like this isn’t just about having the right ingredients; it’s about having the right process. That’s where HourWork comes in.

Instead of scrambling to keep teams aligned, franchisees are using HourWork to:

• Ensure employees complete training and feel confident in their roles
• Reinforce execution standards with targeted messaging
• Gather real-time feedback to catch and correct issues early
• Recognize and encourage employees to build engagement and morale

Here’s how Domino’s franchisees are leveraging HourWork to stay ahead of the rollout and keep operations running smoothly.

Keep Every Team Member Aligned with Custom Announcements

A well-executed rollout starts with clear communication. Employees need to know what’s expected, when things are happening, and how to execute consistently.

With HourWork, franchisees can:

• Send store-wide updates with images or training videos to reinforce quality standards
• Provide reminders before each shift so employees stay focused on best practices
• Encourage employees to ask questions and clarify any confusion

Pro Tip: Instead of overwhelming employees with one long message, break communication into short, focused updates throughout the rollout.

Ensure Training Sticks with Stay Surveys & Confidence Tracking

Even the best training sessions won’t matter if employees don’t feel ready to execute. HourWork’s Stay Surveys help franchisees track training effectiveness by gathering real-time feedback.

Here’s how it works:

• Every second Monday of the month, employees receive a Stay Survey asking them to rate their confidence (1-5) in preparing Stuffed Crust Pizza
• Results appear in the HourWork portal instantly, so managers can spot training gaps
• Reports are sent via weekly email recaps, CSV files, or PDFs for easy tracking

Pro Tip: If confidence scores are low, send out a quick video refresher or step-by-step guide before the next shift.

Give Employees a Direct Line for Questions & Feedback

Every rollout comes with questions, concerns, and small challenges that can become big problems if left unaddressed. HourWork makes it easy for employees to get the answers they need—without disrupting operations.

• Text-based Q&A channel so employees can quickly submit questions
• Weekly feedback reports highlighting common concerns
• In-store signage encouraging employees to ask for help when needed

Pro Tip: A well-informed team is a confident team. Use feedback insights to create a FAQ-style message series that proactively answers the most common questions.

Boost Morale with Recognition & Encouragement

A high-pressure rollout can be tough on employees. The best teams don’t just feel trained—they feel valued.

With HourWork, leadership can:

• Send motivational messages to keep employees engaged and focused
• Recognize top performers who master the new pizza prep process
• Encourage teamwork by celebrating employees who help others succeed

Pro Tip: A simple “Shoutout to Alex for crushing the Stuffed Crust prep today!” in a team message can make a huge impact. Keep it fun and positive!
