Domino's (QSR / Fast Food, headquartered in USA) operates 22,142 units with +3.6% year-over-year unit growth, and scores 83/100 on the FranchisePulse AI Adoption Score for Q3 2026 — ranking #3 of 61 tracked franchise systems.
Domino's documented AI is operational and customer-facing: a machine-learning order-tracking engine inside DomOS, its proprietary operating system, now sets the ready time customers see, and a generative-AI alliance with Microsoft announced in 2023 targets ordering and store operations. The best-known computer-vision tool, DOM Pizza Checker, belongs to Domino's Pizza Enterprises, the separately listed master franchisee that built it, not to Domino's Pizza, Inc.
