Anecdotal, Dominos has a website I can order food from and it’s insanely good experience to use it in basically all aspects I can think of. I love ordering food from them just because the experience is so good. The food is a different story, but man their UX is something everyone else could learn from.


Dominos has a fairly strong history of having actually usable tech. The few times I’ve had to order from them I’ve always been impressed.


Love-hate relationship with them as a tech firm.

Yes, their UX is beyond good. Webapps, CLI, order from some vehicle dashboards, Uber-like delivery meet point GPS capture,

but it's pretty important to note that they filed paperwork and patented a pizza tracking progress bar, keeping other pizzerias and apps from utilizing what's essentially the "Slide to Unlock" of any Internet-based food ordering.

It made perfect business sense, even if just to keep someone else from locking them out of the feature...but..had to mention how broken things are, that other pizza chains or stores couldn't/can't/won't offer proper modern order life cycle tracking due to this.


Timhortons up in Canada also has solid website that looks parity with the app.
