Quick Read
On April 13, 2009, the Domino's Pizza corporate office received a notice from Consumerist.com that it had just posted a video to its site that Domino's should know about. In the video, two Domino's store employees were seen joking around as they contaminated customer food orders with unsanitary stunts such as sticking cheese up their noses before adding it to a customer's sandwich.
It was a nightmare for Domino's and a reality shock for many corporations that now see just how quickly and easily the digital world can help turn respectable businesses into unsuspecting victims.
This case study details the actions Domino's took to regain control over the situation and preserve its reputation.

Excellent damage control strategy. Very curious to follow up on Domino's sales in North Caroline where the incident happened.
This case study may validate how best Domino managed the crisis. However, there's a copy spread already in the world. See below.

Should crisis management cover not only domestic but also overseas territory in the age of social media?
