Domino (also dominoes) is a game piece that, when touched ever so slightly, can cause a chain reaction causing the rest of the pieces to fall. When this happens, it is said that the domino effect occurs, and it is what makes the game so captivating and entertaining to watch. The Domino effect can be used to describe many things, including the way in which a person or thing impacts another.
The game was invented by a man named Andreas M
Unlike other games that require precise hand-eye coordination, domino is a set of pre-made tiles that can be placed on their edge to form an intricate layout of lines and angular shapes. The tiles, called dominoes in English, are generally rectangular with a flat surface and either blank or bearing from one to six pips or dots: 28 such pieces make up a full set. The word derives from the Italian for “feather” and may have been inspired by the shape of a bird’s foot or the feathers on a cap.
Early dominoes were made of bone, silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl), ivory, or a dark hardwood such as ebony, with contrasting black or white pips inlaid or painted. Modern sets are typically manufactured from polymer materials. However, some sets are still handmade and may be made from materials such as stone (e.g. marble, granite or soapstone); other woods (e.g. ash, oak or redwood); metals; ceramic clay; and even frosted glass.
The first Domino’s Pizza opened in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in 1967. Its founder, Jim Monaghan, focused on putting the restaurants near colleges, where his target audience lived. This strategy paid off; Domino’s quickly became the largest pizza chain in the United States, with over 200 locations by 1978.
In 1992, Monaghan hired a new CEO, David Brandon, who implemented several strategies to improve Domino’s business. He focused on changing the culture at Domino’s and promoted people who showed leadership and customer service skills. He also improved employee training, and he encouraged his managers to visit stores to meet with employees and learn from them.
In order to be successful, Domino’s must have a clear vision of what it wants to achieve and the steps needed to get there. In addition, it must constantly evaluate its business model and make necessary changes to stay competitive. The company also strives to have a diverse workforce, as it believes that this will help the company better serve customers of all backgrounds. In addition, Domino’s promotes a healthy lifestyle by offering healthier options at its restaurants. This is a key aspect of its mission to become the leading fast-service pizza chain in the world.
