pizza delivery. In late 2019, Domino's opened the Domino's
Innovation Garage adjacent to its headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan to fuel continued
technology and operational innovation – while also launching its
GPS technology, allowing customers to follow the progress of the
delivery driver from store to doorstep. In mid-2020, Domino's
launched a brand-new way to order contactless carryout nationwide
via Domino's Carside Delivery™, which customers can
choose when placing a prepaid online order.
