According to a recent announcement, however, customers are going to start getting less wings.

Previously, the deal had included 10 wings.

Allison explained that commodity costs and inflation are responsible for the reduction in wings. The move is reportedly being made in anticipation of increases in both the cost of food and wages.

The $7.99 carryout deal will also become an online-only deal.

Domino’s CEO also discussed how digital sales have shown the company areas where it can grow. According to the report, about 50% of Domino’s sales come from digital orders. Of those orders, two-thirds are made up of delivery orders.

The rest of the digital sales come from take-out orders.

Part of Domino’s move towards focusing on digital orders was also inspired by streamlining employee responsibilities. With more orders coming from digital sources (websites and apps), that means that fewer employees are needed to answer the phone.
