ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, knows that technology and pizza can bring people together. Thanks to the new dinner bell function on Domino's mobile app, which launched today, getting everyone's eyes off their device and over to the dinner table just got easier!
"Let's face it, sometimes yelling at everyone that pizza is here just doesn't work," said Dennis Maloney, Domino's chief digital officer. "Domino's virtual dinner bell makes that job easier, as it rings right on everyone's phones, no matter where they are, so that everyone is ready to enjoy their piping-hot pizza together."
To take advantage of Domino's dinner bell feature, customers must have the most recent version of Domino's mobile app and a Pizza Profile. Once logged in, customers can invite friends and family to join their dinner bell group. When the group leader places an order, they can ring the bell to notify family and friends that the order has been placed. When Domino's Tracker® says the order is out for delivery, it will automatically ring the bell again to remind everyone to get to the table ASAP.
