1.1 Executive Summary

Dunkin Donuts originally started in 1961 at London, England; twelve years after their creation (1973) they had grown enough to purchase Baskin-Robbins, another well known and respected firm. After that, they expanded their business in the U.S. and other parts of the world which eventually made them one of the first coffee leaders in the world which we all know today. Their main mission is to provide good quality in low prices and keep their customers satisfied; in addition, they focus on three words ‘eat, drink and think’ which imply that their meals and beverages quality is substantial and that they’ve put a lot of thought in order for them to reach a point to sell them to us, consumers. Last but not least, they’ve done their part and they’ve managed to create values and principles that have eventually created the core of their organization. Those values are: Honesty, Transparency, Humility, Integrity, Respectfulness and Fairness; as for their principles: Leadership, Innovation, Execution, Social Stewardship and most importantly Fun.

    Krispy Kreme is a relatively small doughnut seller. It has only 295 stores while Dunkin Donuts has over 3,600 outlets in the United States and Canada. In spite of its size, Krispy Kreme has been described by many as “the hottest brand in America.” The company’s success in an environment which has made success difficult for many food operations is due in large part to the long-term vision of its top management and its establishment and achievement of S.M.A.R.T. goals. The company originated in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in the mid-1930s when Vernon Rudolph bought a secret recipe for yeast doughnuts from a French pastry cook. Rudolph ran the company until he died in 1973 without naming a successor, which caused the company problems for the next decade.…

    Even though, Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts has a very similarities in their menus and the way how they advertise their product by using the same media market to get them out to the public. As a customer, I will prefer Dunkin’ Donuts because those stores are in walking distance from my place of work and they have two DD in my town. There is no Starbucks in near my town. For example, during the summer I go to DD just to get a drink after a hot day and I will stay to use their free Wi-Fi that is available for everyone to use. Plus, they are known for having a high quality…

    @Boooo - What if you learned that Dunkin Donuts is not really a “chain” of restaurants, as you assumed, but a franchise. (Do you know the difference?) What if you learned Dunkin’ only does business through its franchisees? What if you learned the franchise owners are local people like you and me that realize that some people - maybe not you - like to do business with familiar brands that offer consistent quality. (Or maybe those people just like the nostalgia of getting the same donut their parents used to treat them to when they were 8.) What if you learned that the franchise owners use local insurance agents, employ local accountants and bookkeepers, bank at community banks, and use local architects, contractors and sign makers in their buildout? What if you learned these local owners give back to the community by advertising in local high school football programs and providing thousands of baked goods at local charitable events such as the Women’s 4 Miler? What if you learned that at their grand opening today, the owners asked for donations to a local school for autistic children in exchange for a travel cup that will provide the donor free coffee on Mondays for the next 15 months?…

    Dunkin Donut Analysis

    • 519 Words
    • 3 Pages

    From my simple analysis I can sum that Dunkin Donuts is lack of customer’s interest right now, because we don’t do many creative innovation. If only we be creative with creating new style, flavour of their donuts, their sales might increase, because I see that DD style is all the same, that is round, and it’s topping is ceres, whether it’s black, or colorful it doesn’t change. Indonesian people sometimes only look the outside (packaging), so we have to be creative even more, like making a gingerbread style donut when it’s near christmas, or even make a heart shaped donut near a valentine’s day event. As for the flavor, they have to do STEEPLE analysis, especially in social and cultural. Back then, we could outstand in Indonesian people’s tongue, because they have never tasted this kind of thing before. But now, Indonesian culture has changed. Our culture is contaminated by western culture, whereas western culture prefer soft, creamy, and moisty one rather than big, chunky, but a little bit hard. Or we can regain ex-customers interest by making their donut looks like batik, which is indonesia’s most prized possession.…

    Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD) projects an image as "the Stradivarius of doughnuts," creating a unique enriching experience that increasingly gains customer enthusiasm and loyalty. Krispy Kreme's melt-in-your-mouth, hot, sugar-glazed doughnuts, the "doughnut theater," and the "HOT DOUGHNUTS NOW" feature are clearly a few of the differentiating factors it attempts to make itself identified with.

    Dunkin' Donuts

    William Rosenberg opened his first coffee-and-doughnut shop in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950. In 1995 he began licensing the right to imitate his retail operation to independent owner/operators, called franchisees. Business format franchising, as this type of cloning relationship came to be known, was in its infancy in the early 1950s. By the late 1980s, however, business format franchising had become a major force in retailing in the United States. Meanwhile, Dunkin’ Donuts had experienced similar growth. As of the end of 1987 there were 1,478 Dunkin’ Donuts units in operation in its North American region, of which 1,449 were franchised. Dunkin’ Donuts licensed an additional 191units throughout the rest of the world. By early 1988, however, deteriorating sales to capital ratios, stiffening competition, and uneven expansion threatened not only the level of company profitability but also its relationship with the franchisees. A number of options that related primarily to increased distribution were being explored. Any new changes in strategy would require careful examination of its effect on both the franchisees and the company. Competition from convenience stores and supermarket bakeries was becoming increasingly acute. In 1988 there were over 20,000 supermarket bakeries, and the second-largest selling item in those bakeries was doughnuts. Moreover, convenience stores were expanding into food service at an alarming rate and had become a serious threat. By 1987 nearly 80% of all new shops were franchisee-developed. This was much easier to accomplish in Region I(the eastern United States and Canada) where 75% of all domestic Dunkin’ Dounts shops were located, where the average store sales were significantly higher than in Region II(the western United States), and where existing franchisees were much more active in purchasing real estate and developing stores in order to expand their existing operations. In a nationwide sample of customers who lived…

    The sign of an efficient market is where there is an equilibrium between what buyers are willing to pay for a good or service and what sellers are willing to sell for a good or service. If you can improve the way you produce a good or service by doing things such as outsourcing certain processes or buying from an overseas supplier that offers discounts, you can then afford to lower your selling price which results in increased demand and affordability.…

    The inception of Krispy Kreme was back in 1933 , when Ishmael Armstrong , a farmer and store-owner in Paducah, Kentucky bought a doughnut shop from a French chef. With the purchase of the shop Armstrong received the rights to a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe. Later on during that year Armstrong’s nephew Vernon Rudolph completed high school and from being a deliver boy for the doughnut shop to a partner. At this point though the doughnuts were still only being sold to area businesses. In the summer of 1937 Rudolph armed with the secret recipe and $25 dollars to rent the shop convinced a local grocery store to lend him the ingredients and he began making doughnuts. Eventually the popularity for the doughnuts grew. People began to walk the shop and asked if they could have a hot delicious doughnut so Rudolph cut a hole into the wall. Since this time Krispy Kreme has grown substantially, and in order to continue growth and more importantly success the company should evaluate its strength and weaknesses and set realistic goals.…

Baskin-Robbins concentrate on varieties in its products and it follows the “31 flavors” concept. The 31 original flavors such as Banana Nut Fudge, Chocolate Almond and so on.
