INTRODUCTION Fast food is one of the worlds largest fast growing industry types. Indias fast food industry is growing by 40%. The 6000 corer fast food retail industry is mainly dominated by the multinational players and the key players which are active in the research of the food retailing. Because of the availability of raw material for fast food, global chains are flooding into the country. The percentage share held by foodservice of total consumer expenditure on food has increased from a very low base to stand at 2.6% in 2001. Eating at home remains very much ingrained in Indian culture and changes in eating habits are very slow moving with barriers to eating out entrenched in certain sectors of Indian society. The growth in nuclear families, particularly in urban India, exposure to global media and western cuisine and an increasing number of women joining the workforce have had an impact on eating out trends.

Major players in fast food are: McDonalds KFC Pizza hut Dominos pizza Caf coffee day Barista Subway Papa Johns Smokin joes

Domino's and Pizza Hut, the two big US fast food chains entered India in 1996. Each claimed it had the original recipe as the Italians first wrote it and was trying desperately to create brand loyalty. Domino's and Pizza Hut - tried to grab as large a slice of the pizza pie as possible.

While Pizza Hut relied on its USP of "dining experience", Domino's USP was a 30-minute delivery frame. To penetrate the market, both the players redefined their recipes to suit the Indian tastes. Domino's went a step ahead by differentiating regions and applying the taste-

factor accordingly. Domino's also made ordering simpler through a single toll-free number throughout the country.

Domino's and Pizza Hut expanded their market ever since they entered India. Pizza Hut is the world's largest casual dining restaurant chain with over 13,000 restaurants across 97 countries and 143 stores across 34 cities in India., including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, and Chandigarh and Yum! is in the process of opening Pizza Hut restaurants at many more locations to service a larger customer base across the country. Today Domino's Pizza India has grown into a countrywide network of more than 300 stores with a team of over 9,000 people. According to the India Retail Report 2009, Dominos were the largest Pizza chain in India and the fastest growing multinational fast food chain between 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 in terms of number of stores.

Market shares and major players Indian taste buds are demanding more and pizza industry one of the most intensive industry is all gearing on. People across the country are consuming over three million pizzas a month currently, and the monthly sales figures are projected to double in the next four years. According to industry data, of the total branded quick service restaurant market make a sale of over Rs 1,200 Crore, the pizza chains contribute around 50 per cent of the sales i.e. worth Rs. 600 Crore.

The major market players are Pizza Hut and Dominos with market share of 45% and 35% respectively and other shares 20% of the market.

Major forces affecting the Industry

In major cities of India like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore Pizza Hut and Dominos have a competition with Pizza corner, Smokin joes, Us pizza, Garcias but in small cities Pizza Hut and Dominos are the major players.

Threat of new entrants With the economic reforms and liberalization, many new entrants also want the revenue of the 200 billion Indian fast food industries. There are many new entrants in the branded pizza industry some of them are Papa johns pizza Us pizza

Some Indian brands are: Pizza Express Pizza Corner Slice of Italy

They have captured a lot of customers with their new style and discount offers. Much young crowd flock their restaurants and their taste buds are getting modified. Now the new entrants are also likely to enter the small cities and make their presence. Thus pizza hut and dominos have to rethink their strategies so as to retain their customers. They have to constantly differentiate their services from the newer entrants Substitutes There are lots of substitutes which are available to choose with respect to the fast food industry some of them are McDonalds Barista Cafe coffee day Chinese restaurants (mainland china) Other restaurants

Largely it depends upon the customers what they want to have. Generally it is assumed that when people dine outside, they think of having pizza at least 25% of time. Thus if the brand recall of a particular company is good, more people will tend to go there. Higher the quality of food, service, higher will be product recall and sales Buyers bargaining power Pizza hut and dominos have higher market reach and greater visibility in the market with respect to the pizza industry and hence they command supplies at lower rate. However their counterparts, competitors cannot command such lower prices. Thus the muscle power of pizza hut and dominos is way beyond the others. Suppliers growing bargaining power Supplies till now were not a problem but with the advent of the rising food costs (raw material inflation). Suppliers are not ready to supply items at the normal rate. Thus suppliers muscle power grew only doe to inflation. Thus the company either has to increase the menu costs or reduce the operational costs to recover. Failing to do this will make the company into losses or to lose out in the industry.

Trends in the Indian market Marketing to children Fast food outlets in India target childrens as their major customers. They introduce varieties of things that will attract the childrens attention and by targeting childrens they automatically target their parents because childrens are always accompanied by their parents. Low level customer commitment Because of the large number of food retail outlets and also because of the tendency of customer to switch from one product to other, this industry faces low level customer commitment. Attracting different segments of the market Fast food outlets are introducing varieties of products in order to cater the demands of each and every segment of the market. They are introducing all categories of product so that people of all age, sex, class, income group etc can come and become a customer of their food line.

This is generally a procedure that is followed in five star category hotels and pizza hut is also following it to emphasize on service quality. In case of dominos, they are not costly as pizza hut and do not offer great ambience to customers, but offer good pizzas at nominal price. They concentrate on turnover of covers and cater to customers who dont have time to spend on food and just stop over for refreshment. Moreover, dominos mainly looks into home delivery of pizzas and are experts in it.

MARKETING STRATEGIES

All other activities, be it new variants, great service, timely deliveries or more for the same price the effort of Dominos has always been directed towards making its customers happy, creating, communicating and delivering value.

Pizza Hut Workforce of Pizza Hut is chosen with the motto Together we grow with primary concern being quality of service, be it in terms of delivery or quality of pizzas. A critical factor in Pizza Huts success has been a menu that has constantly evolved and expanded to cater to the changing needs and specific preferences of customers in different parts of the world. In having understood the pulse of the customers in India, Pizza Hut has clearly established itself as a brand with an Indian heart. Besides offering an extensive range of vegetarian pizzas, it was the first pizza chain to open a 100% vegetarian restaurant in India in Surat and later in Ahmedabad and Chowpatty, where it offers a Jain menu sans all root based ingredients. Moreover Pizza Hut is not just a hangout zone for youngsters.

have a win-win situation. The company can have the maximum of the consumer surplus at the same time the consumer might feel that this was the best offer.

From the menu card one can see the family size variants and the different pizza combinations in the same one pizza are all the different ways of pricing.

Crewmembers at Pizza Hut strive each day to provide customer mania - the kind of service that ensures that every visit of the customer is a memorable one. Over the years Pizza Hut has also developed and successfully introduced a range of products especially suited to the Indian palate. These products like Chicken Tikka, Spicy Korma, Spicy Paneer and the Masala and Tandoori pizzas have been a tremendous success.

It includes appetizers, a Salad Bar - where the customers can make their own fresh salads, a range of soups, pastas and desserts

PRICE In the past, Pizza Hut has successfully used the high/low pricing strategy when setting the retail price of its products. The high/low retail pricing strategy allows Pizza Hut to charge a price that is above the competition, but also promote frequent sales to lower the price below them. Both Pizza Hut and the beverage Mountain Dew are Pepsi subsidiaries, bundle pricing will be used. Pizza Hut will be able to sell two products together at a single price to suggest a good value. Different groups of customers are willing to pay different prices for the same product. Pizza Hut can sell "The Extreme" to the customers who will pay the higher price to be the first to buy and also to the bargain hunters Finally, this strategy will emphasize product and service quality. Pizza Hut sets a high initial price for its products to send a signal to customers that its products are quality and the service is excellent.

Pizza Hut uses three different methods of selling its products directly to the market. The first method of distribution used by Pizza Hut is delivery. Customers can call Pizza Hut ahead of time, place an order, and the order is delivered to the customer's home.

The market coverage for "The Extreme" will be nationwide. Customers all over the country will be able to order "The Extreme" by one of the three distribution methods.

PEOPLE Here the job design is not the most difficult task to do. Also there is no specific requirement for recruiting process. After talking one of the employees in Pizza Hut, we came to know the criteria of selection. The girl was from west India, she was only 10th passed out.

The only factor they were considering on the communication skills, how they communicate with the customers. Since the communication is the most important factor between the customer and employee because the whole process is depended on giving the orders for food. For this the Management conducted the training process for the new employees. The Training is given for total 5 days. Out of 5 days, they have 3 days for kitchen training and other 2 days in the main dining, that is, how to take orders and basically how to communicate with customers and make them happy by their services.

Brand building through advertising

Domino's and Pizza Hut initially restricted their ad strategy to banners, hoardings and specific promotions. In August 2000, Domino's launched the Hungry Kya? (Are You Hungry) sequence of advertisements on television. A company official said, We realized that a Pizza couldn't be slotted it could be a snack; then again, it could also be a complete meal The only definitive common link between Domino's Pizzas and eating was the hunger platform. The launch of Hungry Kya? campaign coincided with Hunger Helpline. The helpline enabled the customers to dial a toll-free number (1800-111-123) from any place in India. The number automatically hunted out the nearest Domino's outlet from the place where the call was made and connected the customer for placing the order. The number also helped Domino's to add the customer's name, address and phone number to its database. Domino's is committed for bringing fun and excitement to the lives of our customers by delivering delicious pizzas to their doorstep in 30 minutes or less, and all its strategies are aimed at fulfilling this commitment towards its large and ever-growing customer base. Promotional and advertisement campaigns The pizza delivery business had traditionally been promotion driven. Coupons and discounts were offered by all pizza delivery chains to woo customers. Since its inception, Dominos had been known for its unique promotions that included fast delivery and innovations to cater to a varied palette. Use of technology Online sales accounted for over 70 percent of its total sales in 2008. Dominos planned to further exploit the increasing potential of the online medium as one of the promotional and distributional channels in the downturn.

Brand awareness Pizza Hut was among the first multinational brands to enter the food retail sector in India. When the first Pizza Hut restaurant opened in Bangalore the quick service industry was at a nascent stage and the pizza category was dominated by a sole regional player who had a marginal presence. The strength of Pizza Huts success globally lies in a marketing strategy that builds connections with customers everyday in different parts of the world. Many customer service initiatives have been uniquely developed for India and have been greatly instrumental in building an emotional bond with the customer. The crewmembers at Pizza Hut break into a Boogie at restaurants in Delhi and Mumbai and do the Bhangra in Chandigarh and Amritsar. While a bell hangs at each Pizza Hut restaurant, which is rung by customers who as they leave wish to thank the servers for yet another memorable visit. Pizza hut organized the Jig n Jeeto contest in Delhi for the first time, it received a phenomenal response with super star Fardeen Khan judging the show. Pizza Hut hopes to continue this contest as a tradition for the years to follow.

Brand attitude
International brand with an Indian heart Pizza Hut is one of the first international pizza chains with purely vegetarian dine-ins at Chowpatty (Mumbai), Ahmedabad and Surat, which also serve Jain menus. Pizza Hut has even opened two all-vegetarian restaurants in the western state of Gujarat to cater to the Jain religious community, whose members prefer not to eat at places where meat is served. Offering more than the international menu International food chains typically offer only a few localised products in other parts of the world. However, Pizza Huts local menu is as large as the international one. According to Pizza Hut, the Indian food heritage is very rich, and hence Indians like local flavours.
