ETL or ESB : What is better fit for your design

I have often seen people getting confused about, what would be a better fit for movement of data in their system. Their is a lot of content out their about these two technologies. Today i am trying to elaborate these in a very basic example.

Domino's(The pizza giant) logistics is a very good example to understand.
So how domino's works:
They prepare their dough, veggies, spices etc. in their factories than big giant trucks supply these materials to their outlets once or twice a day.

This is what ETL is. Scheduled movement of large quantity data from source to destination. Obviously in real scenario we do some data transformations in between.

The outlets usually have their delivery bikes to deliver the order in smaller chunks as they receive the order. This is ESB. Delivery of small chunks of data to the needy system in near real-time manner.

Would it make sense to use a large truck to deliver the pizzas only once or twice day or vice versa. This will not work at all. This is why it is important plugin in the right component in the system.

I hope i explained it well. Let me know if you have any questions?
