DP Poland achieved a 10.4% increase in total system sales in the third quarter of 2026. The firm also recorded a return to like-for-like sales growth in September despite a decline in overall order volume.
Why it matters
The company's revenue gains were driven by a higher average ticket value as it works to integrate its Pizzeria 105 estate into the Domino's brand. Ongoing efforts to convert corporate locations into franchised sites remain central to long-term profitability goals.
DP Poland reported a 35.3% quarterly sales increase in Croatia and operates a total network of 140 stores. Franchised locations now account for 42% of the company's total estate.

Customers may encounter changes in ordering methods once the new mobile application launches later this year. The company's focus on increasing average ticket values suggests that menu prices or promotional bundles could continue to adjust to meet revenue targets.
