Hello! We are the Tod Family – Jason, Lindsay and our kids, Leo, Adeline and Orlando – and we are your local Domino’s franchisees.
We have over 43 years of combined Domino’s experience, so we can confidently say we have pizza sauce running through our veins! It might sound cheesy, but we met here making pizzas at the Bendigo store together over 15 years ago and embarked on a journey into love, life and pizza together.
After working for other franchisees and corporate for years, we realised our own dream of becoming franchisees in 2014 when we bought our first store in Warrnambool. We then expanded into Ballarat in 2016, buying the Wendouree and Bakery Hill stores. In 2018 we came back home to Bendigo, and took on the Bendigo CBD and Kangaroo Flat stores, building Strathdale later that same year. Castlemaine joined the team in 2021 and Colac was built the following year. In 2023, we finally bought the Sebastopol store, which meant that for the first time ever, all stores in Ballarat are owned by the same franchisee! Then a month later we finished building our new store in Epsom!
We have had two of our managers grow through our business to become business partners, and they are both now franchisees of their own stores: in Warrnambool and Colac. It has been an incredibly wholesome experience seeing these wonderful people become business owners through our stores.
We are passionate about supporting our local community – just like you support us by choosing to shop at our store. We love that we get to serve our family, friends, high school teachers, old sporting coaches – and friends we have yet to make. Even better than that, we employ over 150 wonderful staff, and work hard to support our beautiful community through sponsorships, doughraisers and creating connections.
Our pizza brings people closer and as you share a slice with loved ones, we want to thank you for choosing Domino’s, and choosing to support our family.

Raising some "Dough" for Love Your Sister at Colac
Doughraisers
Each of our stores holds regular days where we "raise some dough" for a local person, charity, group or event. On these days, we donate $1 per pizza sold to whoever we are supporting. Sometimes individual stores do this, and sometimes all stores within a town get together for the same cause. We have raised tens of thousands of dollars over our time as franchisees through doughraisers.
Last dough raiser:
Nov. 27th 2025
Domino’s Bendigo: Eaglehawk North PS Energy Breakthrough
AMount raised:
$478
Next dough raiser: TBA
FEED THE KNEAD
The idea of Feed the Knead was born in COVID lockdowns and has extended far beyond that. Food is such a practical way to support people, and let them feel valued and have a break from cooking. We ran a nomination time during covid with Triple M radio where anyone could call in and have dinner that night for their family catered for by us. Hospital staff, CFA volunteers, church outreach groups: anywhere there is a need, we want to be there.
pLAYER OF THE WEEK
If you have ever played junior sports, you'll remember receiving player of the week awards after each game. We sponsor cricket, football, netball, baseball, swimming teams....you name the sport, we either sponsor them, or would love to sponsor them!
SPONSORSHIPS
We also love to sponsor other events and groups. From small fundraisers for individuals, to major charities like Foodshare. We provide free pizzas and vouchers for raffles, volunteers working in the rain, event organisers and teams for things like Relay for Life and The Biggest Morning Tea. There is nothing too small for us to want to help with!
WAYS WE SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY
So far for 2026 we have….
LOCAL EMPLOYMENT
Proud to support 150 local staff
FEED THE KNEAD
450 pizzas given away this year (and counting!)

Domino’s Rally 2026
Domino’s have just held their annual Rally on the Gold Coast! We had a group of 13 of us attend, along with 1000 other Dominoids.
It was a few days of learning, sneak peeks and celebrations around our theme of Driven to Deliver, concluding with the Gala Dinner Masquerade. Our guys scrub up well!
Lindsay SPeaks on women’s panel
Lindsay was invited to speak at the Domino’s Rally for the “Pizz-her Power: Celebrating Women in Domino’s” panel. As an advocator for women to succeed in an industry that is traditionally male dominated, it was such an honour to be able to inspire other young females to take the leap and step into leadership positions in stores.

You get to take ownership of feeding a family, a group of friends catching up, someone’s date night, or someone that’s having a bad day and needs a pizza from their favourite pizza shop.
