On this week’s Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Domino’s updates to its Pizza Tracker app, McDonald’s modest traffic bump from the Big Arch, and Noodles & Co.’s terrific Q4 performance. First up is Domino’s, which updated its Pizza Tracker app, which allows customers to see the progress of their pizza order. The updates allow customers to get much more granular on the process, including the ability to see when the pizza goes into the oven and when the driver is out for delivery. Sam and Alicia discuss the update and how Domino’s is pushing the envelope on tech innovation even when it’s in a position of strength as the No. 1 pizza chain by far. Next they discuss traffic numbers for McDonald’s, which show only a modest bump following the release of the Big Arch burger. Alicia makes the case that a slight bump in traffic is still great news for the Golden Arches, and she and Sam discuss how the premium burger is really a margin play for McDonald’s. They then tackle Noodles & Company, which has been on a sales roller coaster the past few years and recently was threatened with being de-listed from Nasdaq. The fast casual impressed with 6.6% comp sales growth in Q4, and Sam and Alicia discuss what that could mean for the brand, which also announced that it would explore adding ramen to the menu. Finally, it’s the Quick Fire segment, where Sam and Alicia swiftly tackle additional headlines from the week. This week, that included Wendy’s chicken sandwich upgrades, Chipotle’s popular tattoo promo, DoorDash’s fuel incentives for drivers, and Sweetgreen’s flurry of menu updates.
