The story
Americans love pizza. A lot. According to the numbers, we each eat an average of 46 slices of pizza per year, or about 23 pounds of pizza per year, per person. Wow-za. Without a doubt, there’s nothing quite like a bite of cheesy, carby, melty goodness – it’s what keeps people coming back for more!
No matter the method, ensuring that your commercial pizza oven is installed, programed, and working properly is 90% of the equation. Especially when whipping up thousands of pizzas every single day.
So, what happens when a commercial pizza oven needs to be fixed or replaced? Well, at Donatos, they call CPS.
Donatos is family-owned company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio with more than 150 locations in 10 states. To bake their award-winning hand-tossed crust, Donatos trusts CPS to keep their commercial pizza ovens up and running, ready to bake to golden perfection.
Recently, CPS completed a massive pizza oven installation job in all of Donatos’ corporate stores in Columbus, Ohio, and we carried out the work in a way that ensured Ohio residents never had to wait to place an order.
To do so, CPS had to remove three existing pizza ovens (a total of 200) in every Donatos store, and then install three replacement ovens (another total of 200). On average, it took CPS about 5-6 hours to complete each location’s switchover, and we avoided delivery downtime by doing the job after hours, when the locations were closed for the night. To complete the 200-store rollout, the project was completed over the course of 3 weeks.
