Domino's takes on fast-food chains

The Week in Restaurants: This week’s episode of the weekly restaurant news discussion podcast looks at Domino’s new menu item, Walmart’s entry into restaurant delivery, and a 7 Brew update.

Can Domino’s new menu item be a big winner? 

In this week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants, we look at The Domino, Domino’s new, single-serve, Detroit-style pizza. Is it too expensive? And what does that mean for the pizza chain’s future?

Walmart, meanwhile, is getting into the restaurant delivery business, thanks to a new deal with Dunkin’. We’ll discuss what that means. 

And 7 Brew won the Salad and Go sites after Dutch Bros opted not to increase its bid. We discuss what kind of impact that will have on the drive-thru coffee war. 

On Tech Check, Joe Guszkowski talks about the next restaurant tech company IPO.
