Dominos doesn't use the same web platform everywhere. Dominos Belgium for example shares a platform used by some other countries (FR, DE, NL, AU and more) which is completely different from the US one. And there are a few more codebases out there.

Same thing with Starbucks. Our Starbuckses are actually part of the Autogrill group and only share the products and branding with the "real" US Starbucks, none of the extra stuff/amenities carried over. (Starbucks in Belgium doesn't even have a website, let alone an app, for example.)

That sucks, honestly. So they managed to get consistent branding, but couldn't even offer a consistent API?
