Online Pizza Wars
from the oh-yeah,-take-that! dept
We've made fun of the idea of a pizza portal for ordering pizza online (twice actually - not counting making fun of the ability to order pizza wirelessly). However, it appears to be a popular concept. Papa Johns Pizza is now advertising that they are the first pizza place to have all of their pizza places online. Other pizza places let you order online - but not from all their shops. Who said e-commerce wasn't going anywhere?

It is a good idea
If I visit the web site I can see all the specials, the options and I probably won't be placed on hold as could be had I telephoned in the order.
As to market share. My city has a population of 1.5 million and most of the big pizza chains utilize commercial kitchens to prepare delivery orders. True, a web based ordering system probably wouldn't be viable for the small operation.
However, pizza from the big chains usually suck when compared to the small neighborhood businesses.

Didn't Sun have this...
A friend who worked at their Mt. View facilities used it to order pizza for those late night coding fits in the mid 80's.
I believe that it interfaced to FAX, so the local pizza joint didn't need to have any special equipment or technology (no web page ecommerce database back-end required).
...you know, it's amazing just how much the past gets reinvented every day.
