A STAGGERING milestone has been reached at Traralgon Domino’s, as their resident delivery expert Alistar McKellar achieved 10,000 safe deliveries to Traralgon residents. Mr McKellar’s tireless work to deliver your pizza fresh and on time often goes unnoticed, but he sure was noted after doing it for the ten thousandth time in five years. To commemorate the outstanding achievement, Mr McKellar was awarded a trophy organised by the Traralgon store team A spokesperson for Domino’s said “At Domino’s, our motto is ‘slow where it matters, fast where it counts’ which means taking the time to make each pizza carefully and to be careful on the roads, while looking for operational efficiencies.” “Alistar lives and breathes this belief, always ensuring every order is quickly placed in the hot cell and hustled out the door to hungry customers,” they added. Mr McKellar said he was proud to be delivering safe, hot meals to locals in the Traralgon community over the course of the last five years and through the pandemic. “As a delivery expert, I have spent a lot of time delivering Traralgon locals their favourite Domino’s pizzas,” he said. “There are many things I enjoy about being a delivery expert, but my favourite is the opportunity to brighten a customer’s day.” When out on a job, Mr McKellar aims to provide the best service possible to his local community. “Taking that extra minute at the door to ask how a customer’s day is going really goes a long way, especially at the moment,” he said. “It’s a great job, I love the community and I love the smiles on the kid’s faces when they find out they’re having pizza for dinner.” The key to success as a delivery driver according to McKellar, who is also the Traralgon store’s longest serving delivery driver, is to be efficient and friendly. “My motto is to hustle with a smile and to make each customer interaction a safe and memorable one.” Domino’s ANZ (Australia New Zealand, not the bank) chief executive David Burness is proud of the Domino’s delivery service. “Domino’s is proud to own more than 60 years of experience in offering the ultimate convenience: home delivery,” he said. When asked about the difference between Domino’s delivery service compared to businesses like Menulog and Uber Eats, Mr Burness said: “Unlike many of our competitors, our business was built for delivery. We have been preparing and safely delivering hot, fresh meals since the very beginning!” “At Domino’s, we also offer flexible working hours – perfect for those who are looking for a casual job to earn some extra ‘dough’ while at school or studying, or something part/full time for those who are looking for a fun and fast paced career. “Finally, Domino’s Delivery Experts are not contractors, they are our employees, which means they are trained in a number of Domino’s proactive safety measures including undertaking regular vehicle maintenance and safety checks; conducting mandatory safety training; and utilising technology like GPS Driver Tracker to monitor speed and harshness of driving. “Additionally, all Domino’s eBike riders are provided the relevant safety equipment like high visibility vests and helmets.” Alistar expressed his gratitude for the recognition, and said he was looking forward to continuing to serve the Traralgon community for many more years to come. Domino’s invite the local community to congratulate Alistar on his achievement and to continue supporting their local Domino’s Pizza store. If you are lucky enough to have your pizza delivered by Alistar McKellar, make sure to give him your thanks and appreciation as you know that your pizza was delivered by a seasoned professional.
