ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), 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 (NASDAQ: NUAN),
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

mobile device to hear these and more…and of course, order from
Domino's! **
