Delivering success is the foundation of what Domino’s has
done since its inception. There is no
company today that is better at Ready-2-Eat fresh prepared food delivery than Domino’s Pizza according to Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.
If success does leave clues and it does Domino’s ability to
take time testing systems, food, and service to understand the benefits,
complications, and outcomes that will drive continue unit level success is one
of the foundations of their success. Foodservice Solutions® team calls
this system Build, Measure, Learn, and Repeat and very few are better than it
in the fast food sector than Domino’s.
Domino's Pizza is now conducting a second round of
self-driving delivery vehicle testing, with a focus in round two on the
customer experience. This new two-month test in Miami, in partnership with
Ford, will leverage the learnings of the first round of testing, but will add
the element of delivery in a larger, urban setting.
Kevin Vasconi, executive vice president and chief
information officer of Domino’s stated “Our first round of testing the customer
experience in Ann Arbor provided some great learnings and insights, including
the fact that there are customers who are interested in this as a delivery
option.”
Vasconi continued “Our testing is focused on the
last 50 feet of the customer experience, between the front door and the car.
While we work to refine that interaction, we also need to understand how
operating this type of delivery in a more densely populated city will impact
the customer experience and the specific delivery challenges it might present.”
In round two, a Ford Fusion Hybrid vehicle manually
driven but outfitted to look like a self-driving vehicle will take deliveries
from a Miami Domino’s store to customers who have ordered online and chosen to
participate in the test. Participating customers will be able to track the
vehicle via GPS and will receive text messages as the self-driving vehicle
approaches. The texts will also provide them with simple instructions on how to
unlock the Domino's Heatwave Compartment inside the vehicle using a PIN code.
“We’re a brand that believes in innovation,
continuous improvement and rigorous testing to benefit our customers,” according
to Vasconi. “As the automotive world evolves towards self-driving vehicles, we
hope to put ourselves in a leading position by bringing our customers the
delivery option that best meets their needs, now and in the future.” Are you
getting your customers involved and then building, measuring, learning, and
repeating?
