Delivery is a key part of Domino’s business, and the chain has tried to stay away from third party aggregators like DoorDash, which give restaurants access to its online platforms and drivers for a fee, in order to maintain control over its operations.

In addition to the electric vehicles, Domino’s has more than 1,000 non-EV cars in its fleet, Weiner said on Monday. A double-edged sword For Domino’s, the Uber Eats partnership is tricky.

In the second quarter, delivery sales at locations open at least a year dropped 3.5%, CFO Sandeep Reddy said during the call on Monday. This quarter isn’t turning out to be any better.
