If your pizza shop still relies on call-in orders, Domino’s has a plan to crush you with convenience. The company plans to roll out a “zero click order” process that makes it so easy to order a pie, all you’ve got to do is open an app on your cellphone. The app starts a 10-second countdown before automatically placing the order for you, based on your favorite pizza or your previous order. Domino’s next step toward pizza ordering domination: GPS tracking to pinpoint when customers will arrive to pick up their pies.

See how Domino’s will make ordering even more convenient at PMQ.com.
