So pizza nerds are not their intended market.

I think Domino's pizza is great. I don't think you're the target market for McDonalds but they feed a lot of lower income Americans. If they can reduce costs and help those Americans save a little bit of money, it would be greatly beneficial.
Being a huge pizza nerd, I have to ask, what is domino's pizza great compared to? There is a nice saying that is apropos - "pizza is like sex, even when it is bad, it is still pretty good."
Pizza is very regional and if you're in an unfamiliar place, you take a risk by going to a small "artisanal" pizzeria. Considering that they have such a large market share, their pizza can't be that if that's what millions of Americans prefer. It's also similar to the style of pizza many American's had growing up. Taste is subjective afterall

It appears that millions of Americans prefer Dominos pizza considering they command 25% of the US pizza delivery market and sell 1.5 mm pies a day. Sorry their pizza isn't up to your standards. http://marketrealist.com/2015/03/dominos-pizza-serving-1-5-m...
> prefer Dominos IDK. I order Dominos a lot because I sometimes work weird hours and literally nothing else that delivers is open. That doesn't mean I prefer Dominos. I definitely don't. But it delivers to a large geographic region almost 24/7.

I don't buy the low cost argument here, because they don't feed them nutritious food, they prey on them by selling them predominantly high chemical, low nutrition addictive junk food that leads to diabetes and obesity, which is now the leading cause of death. Are we automating doctors next? I get that everyone in Silicon Valley right now is obsessed with unfictionalizing Snow Crash, but the best way to make cheap foo…
Xbox? Zynga? This company will have us buying $10 pizza-points for pies that cost $7. Also you could sign up for credit cards to get coupons.

What's novel is cooking in the vehicle while it's being delivered. With multiple vehicles circling around neighborhoods, that potentially cuts the time from order to delivery to ONLY the cooking time.
It's only finishing cooking while it is being delivered. It first has to be assembled and par baked, which means unless you order a very common pie (say a large cheese) you will have to wait like we do now.
What about the machine learning algos which suggest pizzas based on previous purchases. What about the convolutional networks to recognize that each spray of sauce is truly unique and 'artisanal?'
Where was the speech recognition for ordering and the oven encapsulating drone delivery swarm?
So.... when all the people who were cooking the pizzas are out of work, who will be left to buy the pizzas? The same goes for all low wage jobs that are being automated away. I'm not sure how many people have really thought through the long term implications of what happens when you automate all the "grunt" work. As a successful business, your income comes from customers. Your customers need to make money somehow. Al…

It sounds like you prefer Dominos for their delivery service, hours and geographic region.
