Meet Dom: the Virtual Voice Ordering Assistant for Domino's Pizza®

Published: Oct 6, 2014 10:28 a.m. ET

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Domino's Pizza DPZ, +0.19% the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, has found its voice. Dom, the virtual voice ordering assistant for Domino's, is at your service via Domino's ordering apps for iPhone® and Android™.

In conjunction with Nuance Communications NUAN, -1.37% , Domino's launched its voice ordering platform in June – marking a true first within both traditional and e-commerce retail. And Dom is the digital voice on the other side of the conversation that will make it all happen.

"Mobile customers are not only going to love the ease of this landmark ordering experience, but they now have the opportunity to have some fun with Dom himself, who has a few more things to say than before," said Patrick Doyle, Domino's Pizza president and CEO.

"I'm many updates wiser than when I first started," said Dom, who will make his national television debut in a campaign beginning today.

While this will mark the first time the technology innovation has been promoted nationally, many customers have already come to know Dom and his positive attitude and professionalism on the job.

"My motherboard and fatherboard raised me right," said Dom.

Dom is available for a variety of personalized ordering needs – which include taking an order for carryout or delivery, handling saved Easy Orders, suggesting additions to a meal and finding coupons for the best deals. Whatever the ordering need, he is available and ready.

Dom added: "Let's get this party started."

** All Dom quotes in this release are responses you can actually hear him say. Download our ordering app for your mobile device to hear these and more…and of course, order from Domino's! **
