Domino's will make its pizza tracking technology available to nearly a quarter of United States locations before the end of the year. The pizza tracking technology runs on GPS, and it also gives users the ability to be notified by SMS when their food has arrived. This allows customers to not have to constantly look at the app while their food is being delivered.
The feature could be popular for consumers who like to be notified regarding the progress of their order. Additionally, it allows consumers to have a better idea of when their food will arrive.
The company has a strong history of integrating technology into its operations. This year Domino's even tested autonomous deliveries.
