Domino’s Pizza Group plc reported that total system sales in Q3 2025 were £382.7m, up 2.1% compared to the same period last year.
Like-for-like system sales went up 1%. However, total orders were down 1.5% for the quarter, impacted by lower consumer spending and franchisees increasing prices to offset higher wages and employee taxation. Delivery was also down 3.4%
Domino’s UK also reported that its new products, like the Ultimate Indian Feast pizza, had traded well, accounting for 7.6% of orders since launch.
Meanwhile, Domino’s said that its chicken sub-brand has been well received by customers over its eight-week trial across North-West England and Northern Ireland restaurants. The brand is studying its launch across all its restaurants by 2026.
The brand said its FY2025 guidance remains on track with underlying EBITDA to be in the range of £130m and £140m.
Andrew Rennie, chief executive of the business, said: “We have delivered a solid Q3 performance with positive sales and operational momentum despite the continued challenging consumer backdrop.
Our franchisees continue to lead the industry with fast delivery times and we continue to work with them to mitigate the impact of increasing costs and any potential impact of the UK budget on 26 November.
We remain on track to achieve our full-year profit expectations and I look forward to setting out our future plans at the investor day in December.”
Mr Rennie said he was also “really pleased” with the initial results from the launch of its Chick’N’Dip brand in recent months.
Despite the demands of running a rapidly expanding company, Choudhary has learned to find balance, something he didn’t always have. These days, he’s an early riser, front-loading his weekdays with office work before spending afternoons on-site visits and store builds.
Evenings are reserved for football and gym sessions, and weekends are kept for family. “Sunday lunch at my mum’s house—that’s the recharge,” he says with a smile.
Among his proudest milestones is winning an international franchise of the year award earlier in his career, besting competitors across 30 markets, but he’s just as proud of The Sushi Co’s present trajectory. He said: “It’s been incredible to watch it grow. And we’re only getting started.”
When asked what advice he’d give his younger self, Choudhary was quick to reply: “Learn to walk before you run. There are no shortcuts. Move with care, build the right team, and think everything through.”
For prospective franchisees eyeing entry into the booming sushi space, The Sushi Co is currently welcoming applications.
Choudhary says: “We’re looking for experienced QSR and business professionals ready to invest in a proven, fast-growing concept. This is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the casual dining market, and we’re here to lead it.”
As The Sushi Co expands across the UK, Choudhary is showing that scale doesn’t have to mean compromise. With handcrafted sushi at its core and a franchise model built on training, quality, and support, he’s not just growing a brand, he’s setting a new standard for what fast-casual dining can deliver.
