TORONTO, Aug. 11,
2022 /CNW/ - Since the introduction of its famous
11-11 number, "On Time or Free" delivery time guarantee, and as the
first Canadian QSR to launch an ecommerce iPhone app, Pizza Pizza
Limited has been on the forefront of leveraging technology to
efficiently deliver Hot and Fresh pizzas to millions of
Canadians.
Pizza Pizza, in partnership with Captain AI, will soon be the
first national QSR to offer customers real-time order tracking via
the Pizza Pizza app and website. Orders won't just be on-time or
free; customers will be able to follow their pizza from the time
their order is placed, to the oven, throughout their driver's trip
and right to their front door. The new technology includes a
management tool for restaurant owners, an AI powered live dispatch
app and a driver app, all of which leverage AI to optimize for
efficiency, time and cost.
"We're proud to be the first QSR in Canada to bring live order tracking to over
400 locations coast to coast" said Paul
Goddard, President and CEO of Pizza Pizza "we have a long
history of leveraging technological innovation to optimize our best
in class delivery offering. In addition to improving the customer
experience, the efficiencies this new system brings will allow us
to improve our environmental footprint by reducing paper receipts,
reducing food waste and critically, saving fuel usage across
thousands of deliveries every year. It's a true win-win."
Ryan Perera, CEO of Captain AI
adds, "Over years of our mutually-beneficial partnership with Pizza
Pizza, we have worked collaboratively to build powerful technology
that optimises every stage of a restaurant's delivery logistics.
Through the new rollout of our Live Delivery Tracking technology,
we are excited about empowering Pizza Pizza to be the first
nationwide chain to offer customers live visual tracking of their
drivers' location. We hope this modern delivery experience will
delight their customers!"
The new order tracking system is currently being introduced to
markets across Canada via a phased
implementation with dozens of Pizza Pizza restaurants already
live.
