Pizza was the first pizza company to launch web-based mobile
ordering more than two years ago," said Rob Weisberg, Domino's Vice
President Multi-Media. "Since that time, we've been regularly
enhancing our site to allow an even better user experience and
decreased ordering time." The site has been in beta for the last
month, and Domino's Facebook and Twitter followers got an early
preview. Here's what Touchtip.com, an iPhone tips site, had to say
about it: "The Domino's iPhone (site) sports an interface that's as
slick as any mobile web app that we've seen. The menus are easy to
read and very intuitive." "Domino's mobile ordering is growing at
an average of 20 percent each month with the majority of mobile
orders coming from iPhone customers," continued Weisberg. "These
site enhancements cater to the largest segment of our mobile
customer base and also provide a platform that can be expanded on
for our other mobile customers down the road. We plan on following
up with a Blackberry-optimized version in the near future."
Domino's will continue to have two versions of the site and
consumers with all other web-enabled phones will be able to order
on the existing site as usual. The optimized mobile ordering system
is another example of Domino's quest for continuous innovation.
Domino's efforts are paying off. Domino's internet sales grew
faster than internet sales within the QSR Pizza category for the 12
months ending June 2009, according to The NPD Group's CREST
service. About Domino's Pizza Founded in 1960, Domino's Pizza is
