ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Domino’s Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, is giving customers yet another new way to place their order, all from the convenience of their own wrist. Domino’s customers can now place and track their order via Pebble and Android Wear smartwatches.
This marks the first time that Domino’s ordering is available on smartwatch technology. To utilize this new ordering feature, Pebble and Android Wear smartwatch users must have Domino’s app for their smartwatch, along with a Pizza Profile with a saved Easy Order™ or recent order.
Customers can also use the fan-favorite Domino’s Tracker® on their smartwatch to follow the progress of their order, from the time it is taken, to when it is placed in the oven, and ready for delivery or carryout.
“Pairing Domino’s with smartwatch technology couldn’t be more of a natural fit,” said Kevin Vasconi, Domino’s Pizza chief information officer. “We are constantly looking for ways to use technology to enhance our customers’ experience and provide them with more convenience. We pride ourselves on having a variety of online ordering options for customers to choose from.”
