Executive Summary
Parents have the consumer power to insist that food and media companies improve their youth targeted marketing practices and the political
power to demand government action. This research has examined what parents really think about food marketing to their children.
Food marketing contributes to poor diet and obesity among youth, and public health experts believe that the obesity crisis cannot be resolved
without dramatic changes in food marketing to children and adolescents. The food industry has responded to these concerns with selfregulatory pledges that have produced some small changes, but questionable improvement. Further, the federal governments efforts to
propose voluntary principles to guide companies have stalled due to industry opposition.
Parents attitudes about environmental influences on childrens eating habits
The surveyed parents ranked the food and beverage categories marketed most often to their children fairly accurately. Fast food restaurants,
cereal, and soda/pop were at the top of their lists, while milk and fruits and vegetables were at the bottom. However, parents tended to
underestimate the frequency of their childrens exposure to some highly advertised categories, such as other (i.e., not fast food) restaurants.
They also overestimated the number of ads their children saw for the healthiest categories.
Parents were as concerned about junk food marketing to children as they were about alcohol and tobacco use in the media. The surveyed
parents were highly aware of the pester power of food marketing and its effects on their childrens food preferences. They were less likely to
agree that food marketing affects their childrens diet or the products they buy. Parents believed that TV commercials, in-store promotions, and
cartoon characters on packages had the most impact on their childrens eating habits. Surveyed parents perceived a number of environmental
obstacles to ensuring healthy eating habits for their children, including the expense of healthy foods, easy access to unhealthy foods, unhealthy
food advertising, and childrens media usage. In addition, 69% rated the media as a negative influence on their childrens eating habits, followed
by the food industry (61%), and the government (55%). However, they attributed 60% of the cause of increased childhood obesity to personal
responsibility and 40% to the unhealthy food environment
1. Literature review
1.1. What is fast food?
Fast food is a term given to food that can be prepared and served quickly. Usually its a term given to junk food or food preheated or precooked.
It is one of the largest influences on the community as a whole especially on children, teens, and even adults. Fast food is a multibillion dollar
industry that has influence on what and how we eat. It does not only affect persons nutrition and diet, but also the economy.
It is believe that people who consume this in a daily basis will lack a good nutrition as well as a good physical condition. Fast food is definitely a
problem that concerns us as a society, obesity, health issues, cost cares, franchises in business, laws and regulations are some of the issues
fast food involves.
Fast food is viewed as different things from convenient to comfort food and almost every single person has availed of fast food at some time or
the other. As a nation, fast food or junk food has been embraced quite easily and this has consequently led to unease and greater worry about
the health of the nation.
Dominos

opened in Jan, 1996 at New Delhi. Today, Domino's Pizza India has become a wide network of is the top most among the food delivery
business. Dominos Pizza outlets can be seen at major location f Delhi and NCR. Their home delivery is free with a guarantee of Thirty Minutes
Nahi to Free. Although they are expert in delivering Pizza delivery and food chain. There are close to 220 outlets in 42 cities of India and the
brand Pizzas on time, their eating joints and outlets are also good. We plan to have a total of 500 stores in 75-80 cities by 2010 to 2011. It
would entail an investment of Rs 200 million during the period
Market Growth
During last four months, dominoes have opened outlets in Jammu, Panipat, Surat, Baroda, Nasik, Trivandrum, Meerut and Patiala. While
earlier, 70 percent of our business used to be in metros and mini-metros, now the ratio is 50:50 between big cities and smaller Tier II and III
cities. Dominos Pizza is expanding its base in India by opening 500 outlets to add to its current tally of 156 outlets, across 50 cities in India by
2011 with an investment of Rs.1, 000 crore.
Market Share
The organized pizza market in India is worth Rs.500 crore and Dominos has a substantial 45% market share, and registered a healthy growth
of 60% over last year The main target for new outlets shall be metro cities though Tier II cities would also receive a fair amount of
attention. Currently Dominos sells around 35,000 pizzas every day, of which around 1% are given free on account of its 30 minutes or free
model. 65 percent of its revenue comes from home delivery service; around 35 percent is from sales in premise.

Another model which CCD has adapted is to be present in educational institutions and corporate campuses either in the form of detailed cafes
or its economic model of CCD express.
These innovative strategies have ensured that the competition is at bay and ensured CCD's dominance in the Indian market though many of its
outlets are incurring losses.

1.5.2. Lifestyle
The fast food industry generates about $165 billion in revenue annually, based on 2011 market research by IBIS World. The research also
indicates that about 184,200 fast food businesses operate in the United States. Meal prices affect consumers restaurant choices in some
economic climates. However, consumers desire for more variety and healthier foods at restaurants sometimes outweigh their concerns about
costs.
The fast food industry in India has evolved with the changing lifestyles of the young Indian population. The sheer variety of gastronomic
preferences across the regions, hereditary or acquired, has brought about different modules across the country. It may take some time for the
local enterprise to mature to the level of international players in the field.
Fast food is a food prepared and served quickly at a fast food restaurant or a shop. It is served usually in a carton or bags in order to minimize
cost. Fast food outlets often provide take away or take out foods in addition to sit down services. Fast food is a multi billion industry continuing
to grow at a rapid pace in coming years.
Fast food is often highly processed and prepared in an industrial fashion i.e., with standard ingredient, methodical cooking and production
methods.
The extreme use of soft drinks, sweetened juices and junk food can cause tooth decay, especially among small children. It is because they are
prepared with using low quality fat, sugar and high amount of salt.
Junk food can cause a rise in your blood sugar and as a result your energy level decreases. This will prove to be a hindrance in your
performance, as you wont be able to carry out your work energetically.
The high amount of fat and oil used in junk food causes drowsiness. It takes more time for fast food to digest and consumes more blood and
enzymes, which ends up in lack of concentration.
