REDBARNPIZZA:
any idea how to catch and lure dominoes drivers away to my store?
As they say Better late than never
Offer them a compensation package or incentives that they aren’t getting elsewhere.
A few ideas are below. They are just general ideas since I don’t know the particulars of your situation.
.50 - 1.00 for each delivery on top of their wages and tips (each pie going to a separate address) Might consider making them use a car topper on deliveries as a condition or provide some other means of advertising.
Compensate them for an oil change if they drive x number of miles or take x amount of deliveries or work x amount of hours over a period of time. Put a cap on what you wil reimburse them and get reciepts.
Same for Car Wash or detail job.
Set aside X amount of $$ each quarter and give that as a bonus to drivers who work at least 2/3’s fo the previous quarter. Remember bonuses are one a time expenses, raises are forever.
Increase the wage. If you pay crap you severely minimize your chances of getting good employees. Forget that they make tips when determing the wage if you need too. yes you can make $10 or $20 an hour but in my experience this doesn’t happen the majority of the nights you work. I usually made that on high volume nights and then only for about 4 - 10 hours per week our of a 35 hour work week did I make that kind of money. I never made that kind of money on day shift. This of course will vary by your area and location which should always be taken into account.
Have a regular raise program. Establish clear cut goals, have reviews and give prompt raises where deserved and make it mean something. I do realize you can’t give raises forever so there nees to be a capped on the wage but that will depend on your turnover rate. Advertise regular raises.
HTH,
