Domino's Pizza CEO on Technology, Self-Driving Cars and Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Domino's Pizza (DPZ) is quite a technology company with 60% of its sales stemming from digital platforms. "The majority of the interaction for ordering now on the front end is through digital," said Domino's Pizza CEO Patrick Doyle. "We've got a back end that is about delivering great tasting pizza quickly and efficiently but the front-end interaction with people now is really no different than it is at Amazon (AMZN) or eBay (EBAY) or any other technology company." Meanwhile, Doyle is bullish on self-driving cars. The company recently announced a link-up with Ford (F) to test self-driving pizza delivery vehicles, a technology Doyle expects in action within 10 years.

"We employ a lot more people today than we did 10 years ago when people were taking calls and orders on the phone," he said in an interview with TheStreet. "Technology ultimately drives efficiency, it drives a better experience for the customer. If you do that, the business grows and it ultimately grows employment." Domino's employs some 14,100 people, as of January 1, 2017. About 60% of Domino's sales comes from digital.
