Business Model and Strategy

Franchise Model:

The company mainly uses a franchising business model, which has been a central factor in the expansion of the company. Through this model, it can manage people in each market and gain local workers and capital while maintaining the same rules throughout all the stores. In return, franchisees receive detailed courses, regular assistance, and use to supply networks.

Menu Innovation:

Another strength that is well-proven with Dunkin’ Donuts is exibility in menu offerings to reect everchanging consumer preferences. However, with core products such as donuts and coffee, there has been the inclusion of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and smoothies, among others. Daily and weekly specials like pumpkin spice products are helpful in terms of food variety and attractiveness.

Digital Transformation:

Digital technology has been adopted as part of the company’s strategies. The brand also introduced its mobile application in 2012, including ordering from the mobile app, membership reward programs, and offers. Smartphone user interfaces have grown to become a powerful marketing arm through mobile applications; a clear case is the Dunkin’ Donuts mobile application.
