How many deliverys does a pizza guy from dominos can do in a day?

Question

Im about to start a food delivery service, so i wonder how many drivers do i need to hire, to deliver in a close area ???
im calculating at least 30 deliveries every morning......and another 30 every afternoon....
Please dont answer "it depends how close they are", imagine they are 5 to 10 min away by car, no highways.

Answer 1

depends on three things, the traffic, the number of pizzas ordered and the amount of speed he has taken

Answer 2

Oh gosh, this is not an easy question to just give a number for... The company I work for has 21 stores in the midwest, and I would say the AVERAGE staffing is as so...
Days (open til 4pm-ish) 2-3 drivers, 1 in-store
Dinners (4ish til 10pm-ish) 3-6 drivers 2-3 in-store
Late Nights (10pm-3am) 2-8 drivers 2-3 in-store

Our stores are open til 3 AM everyday, and staffing varies greatly depending on the day of the week- Monday we have 1 opener, 3 dinner, 2 closers, whereas on a busy Friday or Saturday we'll have 2-3 openers, 6 dinner, and 8 closers.

It also depends on time of year (significantly slower during the summer than the school year) and any major events that need to be accounted for (Homecoming, Halloween, New Years). Also factor in the size city you are in- I'm in a city of about 60,000 people, but we restrict our delivery area to locations that are within a few miles (which contains more addresses than one would expect!) Don't overwhelm yourself off the bat- keep the delivery area small at first and you can always extend it out after a couple weeks or a month.

Hope this helps a lil bit, but I think its going to be mostly trial and error to see where your rushes land. Remember, its always easier to send someone home early than to try & convince someone to come in & help when they're not scheduled! Good luck!

Answer 3

I would start with 3 dependable people that can work morning and afternoon shift. I would probably go ahead and hire a 4th just because odds are that one of the 3 that you thought would dependable will turn out not to be. A 4th would also give you more leeway with the schedule. The top performers get the most hours (because they work the most efficently and cost you the least.)

An FYI make sure that it is perfectly clear that any speeding tickets that they get on the clock are there responsibility NOT yours!! (if they are driving there own cars make sure to call and check the insurance coverage on them, a pizza place got in big trouble in a town near me for not checking and a driver got in an accident in his car on the clock, somehow it came back on the business, some law about hiring drivers with insurance and him not calling to verify) the guy had an insurance card that was fake.

Answer 4

I used to have a few different delivery jobs. Delivering pizza, on a really busy shift, you might do about 20 to 25. That is really the maximum. Average is more like 12 or 15 per shift, and that's if business is pretty good. I'm talking about a 6 to 8 hour work shift. 30 deliveries is extremely rare or unheard of.

Answer 5

I never worked at Dominoes, but I did work for another place and made over 100 deliveries in an 8 hour shift once. That's not 100 separate trips, but stops at at least 100 addresses. Was the only time I made over $500 in one night. Oh, yeah, it was a Super Bowl Sunday. But then I got sick and had to quit. The average in a 4 hour shift for me was around 30.

Answer 6

I would say for 30 deliveries in the morning, and 30 deliveries in the evening, and the deliveries being pretty close to each other, two drivers should be good.

Answer 7

well, i used to deliver pizza in a suburb of Austin, Tx. its pretty spread out so if i took a run of 4 deliveries, i could usually be back at the store in about 30-45 minutes. if its a busy night, you will probably be at the store for another 10 minutes geting your next run ready (picking through whats available, planning your route, packing the pizzas in your car). on a slow day/night you might be there for another 30 minutes before you leave. when i did it, we had like 2 drivers for the morning shift, and a bunch for the night shift. the morning shift was REALLY slow, so unless you live in some crazy busy place, expect slower mornings. 10am-2pm. it starts picking up about 4.

Answer 8

Lots about 10! Depending on the city!

Answer 9

I do not think there is a easy answer to your question. I would plan on a 20 minute trip (round trip) per driver and then adjust their schedules if you find the drivers are not kept busy.

Answer 10

if u do full time then yeah...but half time can b maybe 20-30 a day
