Domino's® and Microsoft Leverage AI for Streamlined Pizza Creation
Domino's Pizza Inc. and Microsoft have joined forces to create the next class of innovative technology to streamline pizza ordering and store operations with generative AI technology and cloud computing power. This investment in technology aims to support store operations and improve customer experience with faster service and lightening the load for Domino’s team members.
These companies will leverage the Microsoft Cloud and Azure OpenAI Service to transform Domino's consumer experiences by enhancing the ordering process through personalization and simplification. With Microsoft as its primary cloud provider, Domino's has already been experimenting with data and AI capabilities to make store operations smarter, simpler, and more robust.
The generative AI assistant is designed with the goal of freeing store managers to dedicate more time to team member experience and customer service. This technology will also help store managers save time on daily tasks such as inventory management, ingredient ordering, and staff scheduling.
"We are thrilled to co-innovate with Microsoft using Azure AI technology to advance the future of pizza ordering and store technology powered by secure, connected data and simplified processes," says Kelly Garcia, Domino's executive vice president – chief technology officer. "Our collaboration over the next five years will help us serve millions of customers with consistent and engaging ordering experiences, while supporting our corporate stores, franchisees, and their respective team members with tools to make store operations more efficient and reliable."
