A company called Order Mapper wants a piece of the lucrative pizza market. They’ve probably seen Pizza Hut’s iPhone app working like a charm, so they decided to launch their product to the AppStore. As a result, Order Pizza was born, allowing users to order pizzas from a local restaurant.
The idea is cool but you may be wondering how they’re doing that? Here’s their secret (from the press release):
After downloading the free app, Pizza fans can choose from a selection of nearby pizza places or plug in the info for their favorite neighborhood joint. The delivery or pickup order is completed with only a few taps and doesn’t require creating an account. Pie enthusiasts simply pick a size, crust type, and any combination of ten toppings including half and half options, then Order Mapper’s automated service dials the pizzeria and places the order, eliminating the hassle of waiting on hold during the dinner rush. The hungry iPhone or iPod Touch user simply receives a confirmation message when the process is complete and waits for the pizza to be delivered.
And in case you haven’t figured out, Order Pizza is a free application and you can/should grab it from here. Bon appetite!
