Domino's Pizza

Fighting Irish

I was just thinking of trying to get a job as delivery driver in dominos does anyone know what there like?
Pay?
etc

Be careful with things like insurance. If you have a crash while delivering an order your insurer will not pay out unless you're covered for commercial deliveries.

Dont Dominos use there own honda 50's Would be interest what they pay aswell.

I thought most drivers for dominos used their own vehicles? That's the way it is out here in the sticks anyway - they all drive their own cars.

i worked in dominos, this is how it works

basic pay is 5 per hour, because you're contract workers and not subject to minimum wage

extra's - bike drivers 1e per delivery
drivers with own car 1.20

bearing in mind, you could be making up to 40-50 deliverys per night depending on how busy it is

you aren't taxed - well you declare your earnings or you can not declare them

full uniform provided free. includes helmets, wet gear and heavy jackets for bike drivers. (also ghey cap )

free 7inch pizza every time you work, and 50% off all the food

i saw full grown men with wives and families and paying mortgages on this wage, so it must add up. obviously there is often tips involved, especially on large orders.

(edit) forgot to mention that i worked there 9/10 months ago, so things may have changed

Must be some tips to pay a mortgage...

well unlike some people these men know how to work, they put in long hours to make ends meet. they wouldn't still be working there if they couldn't survive on it so /me shrugs

Unlike what people? Who are you talking about?

Seraphina

sorry that was actually me!

my point was that if you put in the hours and take plenty of deliveries there's money to be made. too many people just couldn't be bothered making the effort.

Well if you work 6 hours a day say 5 days a week:
30 hours x €5 = €150

Do 40 deliveries a day:
€1.20 x 40 = €48 x 5 Days = €240

Work 48 weeks a year:
€150 + €240 = €390 x 48 = €18720

Tips: €20 per night
5 Days x 48 Weeks = 240 x €20 = €4800

Grand Total: (before expenses)

18720 + 4800 = €23520

All of that is easily achievable without pushing yourself too much and if you
have your own bike, then I dont think it would be too expensive to maintain
and run..Not bad for a part time job on the side... and as serephina said, you
dont technically have to declare it..

Thats not bad. But I don't think thats achievable every week.

My uncle delivers for Dominos in Cabra and he makes at least 35 - 40 a nite in tips alone. He does this aswell as his full time job and lets just say, delivering pizzas makes him more than just his beer money and keeps the missus very happy.

Its also a bit of crack for him because he knows a lot of the people who he would be delivering too. Plus the free food is a real bonus aswell.

Ahh you would be surprised what you can do if you put your mind to it..

30 hours a week is nothing really when you think about it.. you could do
10 - 15 alone on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening and still get out
at night for a nice few pints..

This would leave you 15 hours to do over the other 5 evenings.. which is very
reachable..

Something I might even consider myself after doing those calculations

Thanks for the insight lads.. definitely worth a thought..

presuming you tell your insurance company that you were delivering pizzas
when the accident happened which i imagine most people would not

You know the way the car smells after you been to the chippy on the way home? Now imagine the smell in the car after delivering pizza's for 30 hrs a week

cdebru

i didn't know that insurance companies sent someone out to smell the inside of your car after an accident
sounds like fun job car smeller

Wouldnt be too good a position if the majority of your clients were farmers
either.. im sure going out to smell a vehicle or two dying of a hangover with a
dodgy stomach wouldnt be too appealing..

ffs...This is laughable. I used to run a pizza place and the store record was 54 deliveries in an 8 hour shift

To do 40 deliveries in 6 hours = one every ten minutes.

Tips do not = €20 a shift.

Paddy, I take you have never done this job...

Seraphina

Madsl Domino's is different, its a worldwide brand and extremely busy. when i worked there we'd churn out almost 100 pizzas an hour at busy times. that target is easily achievable.

Im just going on what people here were saying... and one of them used to
actually work in Dominos.. Ive been to Dominos in Rathmines a lot of times
collecting pizzas (for my own consumption of course... nyom nyom ) and if
you sat there for 15 mins, there are a lot more pizzas going out of there than
you think..

its just a rough quote mate.. no need to get so caught up in it..

Jeez some people need to relax a little :rolleyes:

Sure, if you are running a sit in and delivery pizza parlour. However, as Seraphina states, Dominos is a take out/delivery place only and I can imagine them doing over 100 pizzas an hour very easily.

Ive run a pizza parlour and I can churn out about 50 an hour on my own.
In fact, we had a lunch time special, and we would put out about 250 in the space of three lunchtime hours.
