Pizza in a Flash.

By Nick Hodge | October 14, 2006

Dom­i­nos Pizza in Aus­tralia have deployed a Flash-based RIA (Rich inter­net applic­a­tion) for order­ing. As a fan of pizza, the inter­net, and not hav­ing to call in to get my fix — this is way cool.

Early on in the dot­com boom, vari­ous pizza fran­chises cre­ated web sites for online order­ing. They sucked. I think Pizza Hut prom­ised one, but never delivered. It has been a con­stant bug-bear order­ing pizza has been a major hassle.

So, here’s to Dom­i­nos and a sat­is­fied cus­tomer. Both tech­nic­ally, and gastronomically.

    Thanks for the tip Nick. Almost worked too. Although the site is fant­astic Dom­i­nos need to work on a few more “logist­ical” things like match­ing the coupon offers in the mail to the online offering.

    Call me tight but i’d still prefer to pick up the phone if i’m going to save $4 AND get a gar­lic bread and bottle of coke!
