Not to play devils advocate here (oh who am I kidding, I live for that....) but do you really think that thing is accurate to your individual pizza and not just based on averages?

Who cares?

I can be amused in my ignorant state.

Probably true but don't discount how important that can be to customer satisfaction.

In a previous job I worked on a Web site that had a huge data load on log in so sometimes it could take up to 10 seconds. The single update we did that improved customer satisfaction surveys was adding an animated gif to login that make it look like you were being told progress information.

It was completely dumb but people said it made them feel much more confident about what was happening.

Well, considering it's actually differed a couple times, and the name of the prep person has changed between two people, it's quite possibly more accurate than we might think.

But, regardless, it is rather entertaining.

Imagine how much slower the pizza-making process would be if they actually had to log each stage into a computer, LOL.

Part of my day was spent realizing that trying to be friendly with certain people is a total waste of time and some people are so messed up and mean and spiteful bitter and dark inside that no one would want them around- not really.

They just say they do so the mean person is not mean to them.

I just read about it. Apparently the tracking is just within the store so it probably wouldn't be that hard to come up with a system to actually track it.

Heat resistant RFID. Order taker associated specific RFID to order. Prep station takes RFID and is told what to prepare (so system knows which prep is doing prep. Sensor at oven knows when pizza goes in the oven and comes out the other end. Another sensor in the cutting/boxing area. Another sensor at the door as the delivery person leaves with the relevant RFIDs in his pocket.

More likely it is just that Bob taps the computer screen to indicate that he has started an order (so it knows who is making the pizza) and the rest is based on time averages. But it could probably be done without that much effort.

Bus since articles I"m seeing say it went live in all Domino's locations simultaneously actual hardware installation seems unlikely.

Damn, Alex beat me to it:

I was going to say that the real trick is making sure you don't eat the slice with the embedded RFID tag.
