Jubilant FoodWorks Limited is an Indian food service company based in Noida, which holds the master franchise for Domino's Pizza in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, for Popeyes in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and also for Dunkin' Donuts in India. The company also operates two homegrown restaurant brands called Ekdum! and Hong's Kitchen. Jubilant FoodWorks is a part of the Jubilant Bhartia Group, owned by Shyam Sunder Bhartia (husband of Shobhana Bhartia) and Hari Bhartia.
On the recommendation of a friend who owned other foreign pizza licences, Shyam Sunder Bhartia and Hari Bhartia of the Jubilant Bhartia Group entered into a master franchise partnership with Domino's Pizza. Domino's Pizza India Private Ltd. was incorporated on 16 March 1995, and began operations in 1996. The company opened India's first Domino's Pizza outlet in New Delhi in 1996. The company changed its name to Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd in 2009. It was headed by Ajay Kaul since 2005. Pratik Rashmikant Pota became the CEO from April 2017. Pota announced his resignation in March 2022 and will step down in June.
On 24 February 2011, Jubilant FoodWorks signed a master franchise agreement with American coffeehouse chain Dunkin' Donuts to operate the brand in India. Jubilant FoodWorks opened India's first Dunkin' Donuts outlet in Connaught Place, New Delhi in April 2012. Jubilant FoodWorks was named "Emerging Food Group of the Year" by The Economic Times in 2012. The company launched its first homegrown brand called Hong's Kitchen, offering fast casual Chinese dining, with the first restaurant opening at Eros Mall in Gurugram on 13 March 2019.

In July 2021, Jubilant pledged to supply free pizza for life to Saikhom Mirabai Chanu, who won the silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Women's 49 kg weightlifting. Following her medal win, Chanu had told the media, "First of all, I will go and have a pizza. It has been a long time since I ate it. I will eat a lot today."

On 19 February 2021, the company announced that it would acquire complete ownership of Netherlands-based Fides Food Systems Coöperatief UA for £24.80 million through its subsidiary Jubilant Foodworks Netherlands BV.
