Many restaurants are frustrated with the high cost of fees related to third-party food delivery apps and Domino's is directly challenging delivery apps by giving away millions in free food. Rather than charging surprise fees, Domino's is giving away $50 million worth of free food to randomly selected customers across the United States. The Surprise Free menu includes items like Hand Tossed Pizzas, Stuffed Cheesy Bread and Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes.
Russell Weiner, chief operations officer and president, Domino’s U.S, says "Domino’s is giving away more than 5 million Surprise Free items – up to $50 million in free food – because Surprise Frees are way better than surprise fees." With its Surprise Frees, Domino's underlines the fact that it provides just one delivery fee and no hidden city or service fees.
