PLANO, Texas, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza Hut,
which serves and delivers more pizza, pasta and wings than any
other company in the world, continues to advance its digital
experience and transformational pizza-ordering convenience through
the introduction of several easy ordering functionality features.
From ordering pizzas through social media to delivering pies
ordered via voice command, Pizza Hut is leveraging the latest
technology to make it easier than ever for people to get a better
pizza.
Several easy ordering options from Pizza hut are now available
to customers, including:
- Reorder Functionality: To order a pizza in a matter of
seconds, Pizza Hut fans can click the 'Reorder' button on
PizzaHut.com or in the Pizza Hut Mobile App, to quickly start the
purchase of their most-recently ordered items.
- Amazon Alexa: In December, Pizza Hut expanded ordering
capabilities to include Alexa Voice
Service for Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap, Fire TV, and
Fire tablets. Fans can now order Pizza Hut favorites without
lifting a cell phone or laptop.
- Chatbot: Last year, Pizza Hut introduced a social
ordering platform, or "chatbot," for conversational ordering via
Facebook Messenger and Twitter. The chatbot allows fans to quickly
order Pizza Hut on the platforms where they already spend
time.
- Social Sign-In: Customers can log in to their Pizza Hut
account with Facebook for a quicker ordering experience. Currently,
Pizza Hut is the only national pizza company that enables social
sign-in via digital ordering platforms.
- Quick Service & Easy-Pay: To streamline the pizza
ordering and delivery experience, Pizza Hut also offers Visible
Promise Time, Save Credit Card info, Popular Pizzas, and Visa
Checkout fast-pay options.
"Convenience is a major factor for customers when they choose
where their next meal will come from, and people expect
transparency and easy ordering options every step of the way," said
Chris Dargis, Chief e-Commerce
Officer, Pizza Hut. "As digital and online ordering continues to
change, Pizza Hut is focused on technology innovations that will
provide an easier and more reliable experience."
Pizza Hut, which introduced a pair of sneakers last month
capable of placing an order with the press of a button on the
shoe's tongue, has more information about its easy ordering options
at PizzaHutAllAccess.com. The pizza restaurant company will
introduce a new "pizza builder" across all digital ordering
platforms later this month as well.
