Dominos customers may have to wait a 'little longer' for their orders as the company heightens safety measures during the coronavirus epidemic, the firm's boss has warned.
Chief executive Dominic Paul also said the pizza takeaway chain was operating a reduced menu.
In an update on the company's operations posted on YouTube, he said the new measures included workers washing their hands more often and keeping a safe distance from one another.
"Because of these extra safety precautions," he said, "there's a chance your order may take a little longer in getting to you.
"I know this is not ideal but I'm sure you'll understand and thank you in advance for your patience."
Mr Paul also said the firm was offering £4million worth of free pizza to frontline workers.
He said:"The Dominos family want to say a huge thank you to all the incredible front line workers working tirelessly to keep this country running during these unprecedented times.
"So over the next four weeks we are going to be surprising these heroes with £4million worth of pizza. It's our way of saying a heartfelt thank you."
Dominos has remained open, offering takeaways, during the Government-imposed lockdown.
Mr Paul finished by saying: "We may not be saving lives but we are proud to play a small part in helping the nation stay safe at home."
